    Windows 10 startup error

    Hi,

    To resolve this issue, let's use Startup Repair from the Windows Recovery Environment. After three failed boot attempts, Windows goes into recovery mode. It is a blue-colored screen with a title
    Choose an Option. To repair, follow the steps below:

    • Use the power button to restart your computer three times. This will start the Windows Recovery Environment.
    • On the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot
      > Advanced options > Startup Repair.

    If the issue persists, we suggest that you start your PC in safe mode. Safe mode starts Windows in a basic state, using a limited set of files and drivers. It can help you troubleshoot problems on your PC.
    To start in safe mode, follow the steps below:

    • On the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot
      > Advanced options > Startup Settings >
      Restart.
    • After your PC restarts, you'll see a list of options. Select 5 or F5 for
      Safe Mode with Networking.

    Let us know how it goes for us to assist you further.

    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.
