    PC fails to boot after using CMD shutdown


    I've encountered the same issue twice now. I left my PC overnight to download a game and set a shutdown timer via CMD. However, the next day, the PC wouldn't boot properly. I had to unplug it and restart it three times before it entered repair mode. Even then, it didn’t boot successfully on the first attempt.Could you help me understand what's causing this and how to prevent it in the future?

    :)

  2. My pc takes for ever to shut down when i restart

    Suggest cleaning up your startup list .There may be many services / Apps you can remove on startup which is not needed on boot or during shutdown.
    Before you shutdown the Pc check what is running in Task Manager as a program or service in not killing the process on shutdown

    Would suggest cleaning up running apps and services -Autoruns, StartupMonitor,HighjackThis,
    Malware Scan - Malwarebytes,ADWcleaner, Combofix

    PC fails to boot after using CMD shutdown

    How to boot from windows.old in CMD?

    Hi. Ok, one step at a time. PC fails to boot after using CMD shutdown :)

    Unfortunately I can t access WinPE. I indeed have advanced options, but all of them are only CMD and troubleshoot.

    The method for turning on and off PC didn t work for me.

    Nor the CMD method regarding WinPE automatic start. CMD said shutdown is not recoknized as an...something like that. Tried to upload the pic, but I can t, don t know why.

    What I forgot to mebtion is that my CMD is weird and sometimea do not recognise commands. I did all the bootrec commands except the last one successfully. Unfortunately, the last one command was not recognised. Nothing changed.

    I now did bootrec /rebuildpc and found 2 windows installations. I added them both to boot list, but have to boot them?

    Best regards, Greg
