  1. Clean Boot and Hosed My Laptop


    I saw a similar post from 5 years ago but could not follow the instructions. Tried to do a clean boot to resolve issues connecting to the yahoo email server and really screwed or up. It wants me to set up another pin, but then tells me I need an app, but no way to get to the app. I can hold the shift key during a reboot to get to a menu but all the options look scary and I do not know which option to pick and do not want to lose anything. I am also now getting a pop up that the system detected and overrun if a stack-based buffer. Please help! Thank you!

    :)

    Step 2: douse laptop in gasoline.

    Step 3: toss a burning match onto laptop.

    Step 4: watch the fire clense your laptop.

    Clean Boot and Hosed My Laptop

    laptop doesnt boot automatically

    This is what happened.

    1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
    2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
    3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
    4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
    5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
    6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

    I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

    Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.
