Windows 10: Can't boot, failed startup repair and usual

Hello,

Please let me know if this is not the right place to post this.

I've been having a lot of WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR BSOD lately.

At a certain point, trying to debug it, I've had one of them during start up. After that, I've had some CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED BSODs and Win10 won't boot.

From now on, Win10 just won't boot, but fails and turns off right after the Huawei logo disappears.

I've tried Troubleshoot -> Advanced Options -> Startup repair, it returns Startup Repair couldn't repair your PC.

I've tried Uninstall Updates -> Uninstall latest quality update, it returns We ran into a problem and won't be able to uninstall the latest quality update of Windows.

I've tried Uninstall Updates -> Uninstall latest feature update, to the same result.

Also tried Startup Settings -> Enable Safe Mode, it just won't boot and turns off.

Tried Command prompt -> SFC /Scannow, it reaches 100% and returns Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.

DISM says DISM does not support servicing Windows PE with the /Online option. Also tried it from a USB boot, to the same result.

Also, from the USB boot, I can see the directory structures, but I can't reach my files. DIR won't show files even in Windows directory, or Users. Is it because of encryption?

I would very much like to boot without reinstalling Windows, because of some open sessions in the browser.

Can you please advise? Is there anything else I can do? Maybe replace startup files manually?

:)

 

startup repair failed after update window10

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being a part of Windows 10.

I understand the inconvenience you are facing in accessing the operating system after installing the updates. Do not worry we will help you with this issue.

As a workaround I suggest you to unplug all the external devices connected to your computer, hard reboot the device and check with the status of this issue.

If the issue still persists, try the below troubleshooting steps as the boot files of current operating system might got corrupted.

I suggest you to download Windows 10 ISO file, create an installation media from other working computer to perform automatic/startup repair of the computer that you are unable to boot.

Using ISO file to perform automatic/startup repair will allow the device to boot the system to Windows Recovery Environment and tries to repair the device.

Step 1: Download
Windows 10 from the below link and create media creation tool:

Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool

Step 2: After creating the tool perform an Startup Repair.

I would like to inform that, if your Windows 10 is not able to boot or startup, Startup Repair will come into action and try to diagnose and fix the issue. It will scan system files, registry settings, configuration settings and
more and try to fix the problem on its own, automatically.

Perform the Startup repair:

• When your computer starts, wait for the manufacturer logo to check the option for boot menu, it will usually be
  F12.
• The boot menu key might differ with each manufacturer. If you are unable to find the boot menu key, you may refer the user manual.
• Restart the computer, when the manufacturer's logo is displayed, keep pressing the
  Boot menu option key to enter the boot menu and change the boot option to
  CD\DVD ROM.
• After you boot your computer using Windows 10 DVD, a black screen appears with gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press any key.
• Select the correct time and Keyboard type.
• Click Repair your computer in the lower left corner
• Click on Troubleshooting, advanced option and then click
  Startup repair.

Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.
