  1. How to determine why Startup Repair is triggered


    My Windows 10 device seems to sporadically go into "Preparing Startup Repair" on boot. I can often get back to a proper boot just by restarting, but then next time I restart the device it does it again.So I'm trying to diagnose what prompts Windows to begin "Startup Repair" in the first place? I've been searching and there is plenty of info on how to fix and diagnosing why it might be failing, but very little on why it starts in the first place other than vague speculation. Apparently it may be because of corrupt or missing system files. But how can I check which of the files are corrupt or mi

  3. Cannot launch Settings on startup menu

    Hi Luky,

    Thank you for posting your reply.

    I suggest you to perform a Startup Repair by following the steps below.

    • In the Lock screen, press/hold the shift key and click on power icon>restart.
    • Click on Troubleshoot>Advanced Options>Startup Repair and follow the prompts to start the Startup Repair.
    After the Startup Repair is complete, check for the status.


    Regards
