Windows 10: Startup/Restart problems after reinstall Windows 11

Everything worked fine before I reset desktop and reinstalled Windows 11. Now it doesn’t startup properly and if a restart is attempted, system shuts down.

Can't get GPU-Z to start with Windows 8.1 startup

I'm not sure how to do that. Could you list the steps for a noob?

 

Nvidia driver problem with 940 MX on Windows 10 x64

I would only go back to the driver from the computers manufacturers if you experience any issues with the latest drivers from devie manufacturers.

If everything is still working well with the clean boot then you can start troubleshooting as follows to start:

How to determine what is causing the problem after you do a clean boot


1. Log on to the computer by using an account that has administrator rights.
2. From Start, search for msconfig. (In Windows 10, use the Search box from the Start menu. In Windows 8 or 8.1, swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. Or, if you are using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, and then click Search.)
3. Select msconfig or System Configuration from the search results.
4. Tap or click the Services tab, and then tap or click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box.
5. Tap or click to select the upper half of the check boxes in the Service list.
6. Tap or click OK, and then tap or click Restart.
7. After the computer finishes restarting, determine whether the problem still occurs.
• If the problem still occurs, repeat steps 1 through 6, but clear the lower half of the check boxes in the Service list that you originally selected.
• If the problem does not occur, repeat steps 1 through 6, and select only the upper half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the Service list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.
• If you still experience the problem when only one service is selected in the Service list, this means that the selected service causes the problem, and you should go to step 11. If no service causes the problem, go to step 8.
8. Repeat steps 1 and 3 in this section.
9. Tap or click the Startup tab, and then tap or click to select the upper half of the check boxes in the Startup Item list.
10. Click OK, and then click Restart.
• If the problem still occurs, repeat steps 8 and 9, but clear the lower half of the checked boxes in the Startup Item list that you originally selected.
• If the problem does not occur, repeat steps 8 and 9, and select only the upper half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the Startup Item list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.
• If you still experience the problem after only one Startup Item is selected in the Startup Item list, this means that the selected Startup Item causes the problem, and you should go to step 11. If no Startup Item causes this problem, a Microsoft service probably causes the problem. To determine which Microsoft service may be causing the problem, repeat steps 1 through 7 without selecting the Hide all Microsoft services check box in each step.
11. After you determine the startup item or the service that causes the problem, contact the program manufacturer to determine whether the problem can be resolved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then tap or click to clear the check box for the problem item.

Windows 11 not RESTARTING and Startup Apps not STARTING

Hi, SeanDougall1956

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.



Thank you for reaching out with your concerns regarding Windows 11 and your startup applications.

Regarding the issue with Windows 11 not restarting properly and your startup applications not launching, it sounds like there may be some underlying system or configuration issues causing these problems. Let's address each of your concerns individually:

1. Windows 11 not restarting: The behavior you're experiencing, where Windows gets stuck at the manufacturer's logo during restart, could be caused by various factors such as corrupted system files, incompatible drivers, or pending updates. To troubleshoot this issue, I recommend trying the following steps:
   
   • Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter to automatically detect and fix any update-related issues.
     
   • Check for any pending updates for your device drivers, especially graphics and chipset drivers, and make sure they are up-to-date.
     
   • Perform a system file check to scan for and repair any corrupted system files. Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run the command sfc /scannow.
     
   • If the issue persists, you may consider performing a system restore to revert your system to a previous stable state before the problem occurred.
     
2. Startup applications not launching: It seems like your selected startup applications are not starting despite being added to the startup folder. This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as the applications being disabled or encountering errors during startup. Here's what you can try:
   
   • Check the Task Manager's Startup tab to see if the startup applications are listed and enabled. You can access Task Manager by right-clicking on the taskbar and selecting Task Manager.
     
   • Ensure that the shortcuts you've added to the startup folder are valid and pointing to the correct executable files of the applications.
     
   • Try manually launching the applications to see if they work outside of the startup sequence. If they don't, there may be underlying issues with the applications themselves that need to be addressed.
     

Regarding your concern about the Windows Security icon displaying a warning and the memory integrity shutting down after every reboot, it's highly likely that Windows Security is conflicting with your other security software bootstraps (as I have noticed that your system tray location shows your Norton as running), and you may want to try temporarily stopping the other security software bootstraps to see if the problem still occurs.

If you've had to reinstall Windows multiple times within a short period, it may be worth considering contacting the manufacturer or retailer for warranty support or further assistance with your device.

I hope these suggestions help resolve your issues. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to ask.
