How to Run a Startup Repair in Windows 10


Information Startup Repair is a Windows recovery tool that can fix certain system problems that might prevent Windows from starting. Startup Repair scans your PC for the problem and then tries to fix it so your PC can start correctly.

Startup Repair is one of the recovery tools in recovery drive.

This tutorial will show you how to run a Startup Repair to fix problems that keep Windows 10 from loading.



Note Startup Repair can only fix certain problems, such as missing or damaged system files. It can't fix hardware failures, such as a failing hard disk or incompatible memory, nor does it protect against virus attacks.

Startup Repair isn't designed to fix Windows installation problems, nor is it a backup tool, so it can't help you recover personal files, such as photos or documents.

Hello Steve, *Smile

You can run the commands below in an elevated command prompt to disable automatic startup repair at boot. To undo this in the future, you'd just delete the value in red below from bcdedit.

bcdedit /set {default} recoveryenabled No

bcdedit /set {default} bootstatuspolicy IgnoreAllFailures

 

Don't I use bcdedit /set recoveryenabled YES to reinstate Automatic Repair? Its unclear how to reverse bcdedit /set {default} bootstatuspolicy IgnoreAllFailures?

I also found the command bcdedit /set {default} bootstatuspolicy ignoreshutdownfailures. Is this worth a try since I suspect my problems may be due to an 'unclean' shutdown?

Also, my Windows Boot Loader identifier is {current} so should I use that identifier?

Note there is a full list of commands at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...(v=vs.85).aspx

 

The command will work with {default} as well. It would be best to find the cause of this, and try to fix than just disable it though. I suppose you could try troubleshooting with a clean boot to see if that may reveal the culprit.

To undo the commands above, you would use the commands below.

bcdedit /deletevalue {default} recoveryenabled

bcdedit /deletevalue {default} bootstatuspolicy

The above post does not work and appears to be an error.
It displays Logfile instead of Logfiles
This is the link that opens the log file on my computer: C:\Windows\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt

 

Thank you zbook. Typo corrected. *Smile
