Windows 10: Stuck on “Restoring your previous version of Windows…” screen

My computer auto installed Windows 11 last night and i decided to give it a try. Windows 11 was slow and some of my apps wouldn’t start so I decided to revert back to windows 10. I’ve been stuck on this screen for over an hour rendering my computer completely useless. I tried a suggestion on another discussion and it didn’t work. I can’t use or open anything on my computer. What do i do? Should i take it to a shop to fix it?

Windows stuck on previous restoring loop

Hi Mandy,

When an update to a newer version of Windows 10 is not successfully installed the device will automatically rollback to the previous version. If the device is stuck in a loop of restoring the previous version of Windows, this could be caused by system files
that got corrupted. For us to resolve your concern, kindly answer the questions below:

• Were there any other changes made prior to the issue occurring?
• Were there any error messages that showed up when you saw the restore loop?
• What troubleshooting steps have you completed?

We look forward to your response to our queries.

 

Windows 10 stuck on restore previous version

Hi Both,

I have a similar problem - after upgrading to Windows 10 my pc was very slow - restarts would take several hours - so I decided to restore windows 7 using the option in settings. However the pc has been stuck in the black screen "restoring your previous
version of windows" for some 18hrs and counting...

The fabulous Answer Tech I've been chatting with has suggested I contact the manufacturer of the PC, i.e. it's not Microsoft's problem... Help!
