Windows 10: I have a Viglen Connect 10 tablet Windows 10 and after a Windows update it won't boot into...

It keeps 'Restoring previous version of Windows' but then reboots without doing so over and over again. Is there a way to restore Windows on it some other way? It has got the Aptio Setup Utility but I can't find a way to boot from usb

:)

Peter, I found this with some possible keys to press. It also best summarizes your situation and options with that tablet:

If you can force a Clean install from bootable media using a USB adapter, hub, keyboard and mouse, then here is how to manage 32gb drives best:

Viglen connect Windows 10 Tablet. Not booting.

Hi Peter. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 8 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

The tablet is said to respond to a Reset so I'd attempt that if none of the other repairs here help:

The Reset should preserve the drivers, but if not or you need to Clean install from bootable media I'll provide a user uploaded the drivers here which you can download and browse into to try to pick them up:

I will give you steps to access the Repair Mode to try all repairs to get Windows started, and if not to do the automated Reset or the superior Clean Install after rescuing your files. These steps don't cover possible hardware failure which might become apparent
while performing the steps, so please report back as you go:

1) Use whichever method works in this link to access Advanced Startup Options:
https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2294-advanc.... Easiest may be to restart PC three times to trigger the Startup Options.

2) If none of the other methods work it may be necessary to Create Windows 10 Installation Media on another PC:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/m...

Insert media, boot it by powering up PC while pressing the BIOS Boot Menu Key:
https://www.sysnative.com/forums/hardware-tutor...

Choose the boot device as a UEFI device if offered, then on second screen choose Repair Your Computer. If the media won't boot you may need to enter BIOS/UEFI Setup (pressing key given in chart in link above) to turn off Fast Boot or Fast Startup first.

3) In the Advanced Troubleshooting options try to System Restore to a point before the problems began, Startup Repair, then if necessary from Startup Settings try to get into Safe Mode with Networking, or lastly Safe Mode.

If Startup Settings aren't available you can force Safe Mode from Command Prompt using the command to unhide F8 Advanced Startup Options here:

https://www.digitalcitizen.life/4-ways-boot-saf.... Try Last Known Good Configuration and then Safe Mode with Networking.

4) From Safe Mode w/Networking work through the Windows 10 Install Integrity Checklist to make sure the install is set up correctly, optimized for best performance, and any needed repairs get donehttp://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki/windows_10-performance/windows-10-performance-and-install-integrity/75529fd4-fac7-4653-893a-dd8cd4b4db00:
If it doesn’t fix Windows enough to start it normally, then try a Windows 10 Refresh:

5) If Safe Mode doesn’t work or help stabilize things then return to Advanced Troubleshoot options. Next try Command Prompt to run through Windows 10 Install Integrity Checklist (above link) repair commands including sfc /scannow, DISM, a full Disk Check, or
return to Troubleshoot options to Reset Your Windows 10 PC.

6) Better yet do the vastly superior Clean Install Windows 10 following the steps in this link to delete all partitions down to Unallocated Space to get it cleanest:

7) There is a step to Rescue Files from the booted media Command Prompt first:

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks
