Windows 10: So my computer started doing a loop giving me a registry error stopcode, recovery does...

My pc is on windows 10 but seems like it tried downloaded a dependency or something for 11 instead because the boot screen says windows 11 which I never had, and now it just won't let me reset and wipe my pc, I have a USB with the windows 10 os to install but like I said above, every time I try to reset the pc it just tells me that there was a problem resetting and no changes have been made, I've done full power down and unplug a couple of times now I'm at a standstill at the moment and any help would be appreciated thank youIf it's any help there was an update this morning at around 4 or 5 ps

Cannot Resolve Boot Loop with "REGISTRY ERRORS" Stopcode.

Thank you so much for this.

I think I may be doing something wrong here. This is what I'm doing.

With my installation USB plugged in (the one I made before posting here) and the Kyhi USB plugged in (formatted to FAT32, included the BOOT.bats), I booted my computer, entered through my installation USB and ran both the PESE_UEFI_BOOT.bat and PESE_MBR_BOOT.bat from the command prompt. Both times it completed successfully and I see the MBR option (named "Temp") and the UEFI option (named "TempUEFI).

When I try selecting either one of these from the "Repair Your Computer" prompt on the Windows Install screen > Use another operating system > Temp or TempUEFI, the computer reboots and gives me the following error:

I then tried it without my installation USB (Kyhi USB still plugged in). My Kyhi USB has three partitions when I try to select a Boot device.

• The first is UEFI: SanDisk U3 Cruzer Micro 8.02. Partition 1. Selecting this makes the screen go black and seems to do nothing and keep me at the "please select boot device menu" in BIOS.
• The second is USB: SanDisk U3 Cruzer Micro 8.02. This gives me the initial Registry Error Stopcode (for whatever reason, after formatting this USB, when I plug it in, it also shows up as a CD drive in addition to the USB, so I'm wondering if it's that?)
• The third is also listed as USB: SanDisk U3 Cruzer Micro 8.02. Selecting this takes me to the initial Registry Error Stopcode as well. Twice, it took me to the Classic-looking boot menu where I could 1)reconnect media with windows installation 2)chose language or 3)[not sure, wasn't able to get back].

So basically, when my installation USB is plugged in, I eventually get kicked to the 0xc000000f error screen. When it's not plugged in and I'm only using the Kyhi USB, I get the REGISTRY ERROR Stopcode.

Do you know what I'm doing wrong? Also, I updated my PC and peripherals in my profile.

 

Cannot Resolve Boot Loop with "REGISTRY ERRORS" Stopcode.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay, I did not have access to my computer for the past week. I've edited this post because I have new info that may help. I'm not sure. I've quoted what the original post was at the bottom just so you can see.

I tried running the Kyhi drive without the original Win 10 USB installation drive in the computer. When I did this, I saw a "Loading Files" progress bar that I've never seen before. This completed and rebooted the computer.

After BIOS, I see the Windows icon and then I get the original Stopcode: Registry Error screen again. And this continues to loop.

I have a feeling I'm doing something wrong. I'm not sure what it is though.

Quoting my original post here just so you can see what I did before:

 

Cannot Resolve Boot Loop with "REGISTRY ERRORS" Stopcode.

When I start up the computer, it goes through BIOS and then gives me the blue screen stopcode REGISTRY ERRORS and it is stuck in that loop.

Using a copy of Windows 10 on a USB, I tried going through Repair Your System > Troubleshoot > Advanced Options. Startup Repair, System Resore, and Uninstall Updates do not work.

From here, I tried using the Command Prompt to look at what’s going on:

• Bootrec /rebuildBcd gave me “The requested system device cannot be found.”
• diskpart > sel disk 0 > list vol shows volume 5 as F. It is an NTFS partition, 118 GB (my M2 drive). F was always the drive letter assigned to my hard drive when it was working normally, but from what I understand this “F” doesn’t necessarily correspond to the other “F?”
• F: \shows me the Windows folder and everything else.
• I thought I should try fixing the registry. I entered via cd f:\windows\system32 and then did mkdir configBak. This gave me “the media is write protected.”
• Went back and dug more into the bootrec command and realized that I might be plugging in my USB into the wrong slot. When I changed it, now I get: 0xc000000f “The Boot configuration Data for your PC is missing or contains errors).
• Back into the original slot and now can’t boot from UEFI USB startup option (what I was doing before).
• Tried chkdsk F: /f. Write protected.
• I tried clearing with list volume F > select volume F > attributes disk clear readonly > exit. Still happened.
• Deleted MiniNT folder in registry editor to get rid of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControl so I can write. Doesn’t fix it.
• In command prompt, tried dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth which gave me Error: 50 (DISM does not support servicing Windows PE with the /Online option).
• Tried dism.exe /image:F:/Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth and got Error: 2 (Unable to access the image). Looked around, some said it was a registry error.
• Back to registry stuff: the other day I tried running sfc /scannow so I decided to run it again on F:. Did not find any intergrity violations.
• Also tried again (as I had previously) chkdsk F: /f /r /x but cannot run because write protected.
• Also, when I look in f:\Windows\System32\config\Regback, the DEFAULT, SAM, SECURITY, SOFTWARE, and SYSTEM all list 0 which from what I can tell means I can’t repair these.

Anyways, I’m at a total loss. Anyone know what I should do? Should I do a clean install and copy over my contents to an external drive or what? I’d prefer not to lose my data on that drive (luckily, I don’t have much).
