Windows 10: I want to get my files from a "failed to auto repair" laptop, but i have no admistrator...

The pc is pretty old but still boots up, when booting up it tries auto repair and fails. When using advanced options to repair it asks for administrator account which it says it doesnt have even though it had since my step-dad's account was on there but not signed in the troubleshoot says i need to sign in in the sign in screen, but i cant since it cant repair itself.. i dont need the pc to work, i just want the files game saves and stuff to transfer over to a new laptop

Win10 stuck on choose your keyboard layout during auto repair

Hi,

Thank you for providing the information.

I understand the inconvenience you are facing in Windows. I appreciate your patience and efforts in trying to resolve the issue.

• As suggested by Sudharshan above, what was the result after performing the Automatic repair?

Performing automatic repair using the media creation tool replaces the corrupted or damaged files from the CD/DVD or USB media. It will not remove or replace your personal files.

Important: It is suggested to use the media creation tool and create the Windows installation media as there might be some files corrupted in the system where these might end up in causing error or failure. Using the Installation media and
performing the auto repair helps to recover the corrupted system files.

Please share us the results performing the above steps using the media creation tool to help you better.

 

Windows won't reset or restore, Automatic repair loop

Hi Bruno,

When the Automatic repair fails, we can suggest using the command prompt from Windows 10 Boot Options menu to run bootrec commands to fix the files the Auto Repair couldn't. Here are the steps:

• On the windows Recovery Option, choose Troubleshoot >
  Advanced Options.
• Select Command Prompt.
• Enter the following commands in the Command Prompt:

• bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd
• bootrec.exe /fixmbr
• bootrec.exe /fixboot

Once the repair is done, restart your PC and check if the issue is resolved. Let us know the outcome, so we could provide further assistance as necessary.

We'll keep an eye out to your response.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
