  1. OS Not Booting at All


    Everything including startup repair to sfc/scan and tried resetting pc to complete reinstall using local windows but still can't get the OS to start running.


    I tried DISM in CMD LINE as well It showed me

    "Can't be fixed" w/o quotes something like that


    The OS won't load but recovery options are available.

    Everything described in microsoft support section didn't work , I was thinking of reinstalling Windows 10 from usb as the final option.


    It all started when I switched it on and my laptop was just 2 weeks old with nothing except zoom meetings and VLC media player both downloaded from official websites.

    :)

    OS Not Booting at All

    laptop doesnt boot automatically

    This is what happened.

    1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
    2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
    3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
    4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
    5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
    6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

    I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

    Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.
