Windows 10: Can't boot, failed startup repair, uninstall updates/features, safe mode, SFC and DISM

Hello,


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 suppoert 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?

Can't boot into Normal/Safe Mode with Networking, only safe mode...

Good Evening,
I could do with some pointers on resolving an issue. I can only boot into windows in safe mode in Windows 10. Normal mode and safe mode with networking doesn't work. The problem occurred after a windows update. I have removed the latest updates that were installed and cleared any pending ones but it still won't boot properly. I have also run the troubleshooter and tried to recovery to an earlier date which also doesn't work.
The laptop is a HP ENVY 17 notebook. At boot it just gets to the HP logo with the circular loading icon and no further and can only boot it into safe mode. Can anyone recommend the next steps? I have also tried the following;

• stopping startup items
• uninstalling hardware drivers
• removing recent software
• running troubleshooters at boot
• sfc scan
• diagnostic/selective startups with minimal services running

Would the fact that I cant boot into Safe Mode with Networking imply its a network driver related issue?
Bit of a dead end really, any help would be much appreciated
Kind regards
Trevor

 

Can't get SFC and DISM to work anymore on Win10

Ok, can someone help me out because this crap is starting to piss me off. There was once a time when you could simply run SFC and DISM to check Windows files integrity and if there were any problems found with the local files, Windows repaired it automatically. The reason why I want to run this is because I'm getting stupendously huge amount of errors and warnings in Event Viewer, but I don't want to run refresh because it'll mess up tons of apps.

Commands I used:
sfc /scannow
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Fast forward few years and we now have glorious Windows 10. Trying to run the same tools, they find errors but stubbornly refuse to fix ANYTHING. What's the god damn point of it then?

Sfc finds issues but can't repair them and DISM constantly bitches how it can't find the source. All this used to work directly in Windows 7, but in Win 10, nothing. This was one of the best features to get OS back in good state and they go and ruin it. Because Microsoft!

I've checked this thread:
https://social.technet.microsoft.co...sfc-failed-to-repair?forum=win10itprohardware

Nothing worked. And they keep mentioning install.wim where my Windows image downloaded from Microsoft itself! only carries install.esd which I can't seem to use with anything.

I've also tried this tool:
CodePlex Archive

Which again wants .wim file and refuses to work with esd.

 

Boot loop after update no safe mode option-repair fails- restore fails

Last night around 9pm I noticed the pc was doing another update. Endless boot loop again. I ran through the steps from yesterday with one new result and it will not boot.
