Windows 10: No boot after MGR2GPT Windows 10

MGR2GPT ended with an error messages:


Call WinREReapir to repair WinRE

Failed to repair ReAgent.xml


But final line said that the process ended successfully.

Changed BIOS boot options to UEFI and tried to boot, other options to 'disabled'. Boot brought me right back into the BIOS setup.


Changed boot priorities to USB as priority 1 and left UEFI as priority 2 to use the recovery stick that I created before starting MBR2GPT.

Result is a blue screen saying


Your PC/Device needs to be repaired.

The application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors.

File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe

Error code: 0xc000000e

You'll need to use recovery tools. If you don't have any installation media like a disk or USB device, contact your PC administrator or PC/Device manufacturer.

Press Enter to try again

Press F8 for Startup Settings


Booting from CD Knoppix is working in BIOS mode.

Enter or F8 just refresh the blue screen.

Windows version 10 is 1909

PC is a Medion desktop with board MS-7681 and BIOS version E7681MLN.109


Any hints to troubleshoot?

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

 

windows 10 slow boot

I was having a slow boot issue on my Windows 7 install a little while back. It would take about 30 - 40 extra seconds to boot up for whatever reason.

I would try following these steps, while this didn't solve my issue, it did increase Read/Write to where it should be.

In the end, I had to reinstall my Windows 7 entirely to fix the booting issue. It was taking around 35 seconds to boot, and after the fresh install it takes about 7 seconds to boot.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
