Windows 10: When i boot my pc I get the Bad_system_config_info message. I fixed it last night though,...

Last night windows diagnostic tool was working and wouldn’t fail every time like this morning.

After it failed I did a system restore point, and a few of my non essential files were missing like the blizzard launcher, but i don’t remember if I installed it after the restore point.

But then this morning I try to start it and get bad_system_config_info before a menu with options like reset, command prompt, restore point, etc... I tried a few different guides and they haven’t worked.

This pc doesn’t have anything valuable saved on it so Im not worried about having to completely reset it, but the reset option immediately fails and im forced to cancel it.

Bad_System_Config_Info message repeatedly and restart message with no successful bootup

Hi Jana,

One of the possible reasons why your PC fails to boot into normal mode are broken components on the boot configuration data of your system. To isolate your concern regarding your Bad_System_Config_Info, we suggest that you perform the following steps
to trigger Safe Mode through the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) option. To do this, follow the steps below:

• Improper shutdown process
  • Turn on your computer. When the Windows logo is visible, unplug the power source of your computer. Perform this step three times.
  • On the fourth time that you turn on your computer, just simply wait for the
    Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) window to appear.
• On the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings and click
  Restart.
• Once your computer restarts, you will see a list of options. Press the
  F4 key to start your computer in Safe Mode.

We also recommend that you perform a system restore after booting into safe mode.
This option takes your PC back to an earlier point in time. Restoring won’t affect your personal files, but it will remove apps, drivers, and updates installed after the restore point was made. To do this, follow the steps
below:

• Right-click the Start button and select Control Panel.
• Search Control Panel for Recovery.
• Select Recovery > Open System Restore > Next.
• Choose the restore point related to the problematic app, driver, or update, and then select Next > Finish.
