Windows 10: Unable to switch back to Normal startup from Diagnostic startup

To get better performance from my laptop, I was trying a few things including disabling startup programs, etc. While doing this, I inadvertently switched to Diagnostic startup. After this, I am unable to login to Windows using my administrator login because the PIN login is disabled (because of the diagnostic startup mode) and Windows is not able to verify my password against the Outlook.com account since the Diagnostic startup does not start with the network enabled.


I have tried Safe Mode with Network, but again for some unknown reason, the Safe Mode also doesn't have networking, so again it cannot verify the password supplied.


I tried the refresh OS option to retain the data, but reset all applications. It won't accept that either.

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.

Hi Gary,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand you are not able to boot to in normal mode. Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.

Did you follow the below steps to enable the Normal startup?

• Press Windows + R keys from the Keyboard.
• Type msconfig and hit Enter.
• Click on the General tab.

If yes, you may follow the below steps to check if the computer boots to selective startup:

• Press Windows + R keys from the Keyboard.
• Type msconfig and hit Enter.
• Select the General tab.
• Select the Selective startup option, check the box for load startup services, load startup items, use original boot configuration will be enabled.

If it boots successfully to selective startup then you can boot to normal startup from selective startup.

Please check the above scenario and get back with the results.
