    Stuck in diagnostics startup


    I was trying to troubleshoot by using Diagnostic Startup to rule out if software was interfering with my computer, so I used msconfig to chooseDiagnostic Startup so only system services would run, and now I"m stuck in it. At the lock screen, it says "Something happened with your pin.", so I can't use my PIN. Also, it's REJECTING, my password which I know is right. Startup Repair and Command Prompt from Recovery Shift + Restart are also rejecting my password, and my account is the only admin on my PC. I've tried everything from system restart , repair in advanc

  3. Recovery to normal startup from diagnostic startup in windows 10

    Hi Dimas,

    There are different factors that can contribute to the issue you're facing that your computer wont boot up to the normal Windows 10 environment after using diagnostic startup. This could be caused by corrupted files or settings that need to be reconfigured.
    As a initial recommendation, kindly refer to the steps below to start the computer in normal mode.

    • Press Windows + R keys from the Keyboard.
    • Type msconfig and hit Enter.
    • Click on the General tab.
    • Select the Normal startup option.
    • Click on Apply and Ok.
    • Restart the system and check.

    We look forward to your response once you complete the steps.

    (SOLVED) Stuck in Diagnostic Startup

    After hours and HOURS of searching online, I found a loophole for using the Command Prompt at my lockscreen, which I used to make my other account an admin and run msconfig and return it to Normal Startup. Thanks for your help guys! Stuck in diagnostics startup :)

    I was trying to troubleshoot Microsoft Store by using Diagnostic Startup to rule out if software was interfering with it, so I used msconfig to choose

    Diagnostic Startup (so only system services would run), and now I"m stuck in it. At the lock screen, it says "Something happened with your pin.", so I can't use my PIN. Also, it's REJECTING, my password which I know is right.

    In Diagnostic Mode, I also have no WiFi or Ethernet for some reason, so I can't really authenticate my account. Startup Repair and Command Prompt from Recovery (Shift + Restart) are also rejecting my password, and my account is the only admin on my PC.

    I feel like I'm doomed..
