Windows 10: Win 10 desktop Stuck in "repair at next boot" what do I do?

Hello to all,

Forgive me please, but I didn't know which "Windows Topics" to pick.


I'm OLD, disabled, stay at home 99.9% of the time and am NOT tech savvy. I NEED my computer, all my friends live there, lol. But, we ALL need them, especially now. I'm praying for everyone in this whole world during this Pandemic. I worry over everyone. It's very scary to me and my sweet D, as we're very OLD. But, we're happy.


Well, to be perfectly honest I caused this problem myself. One night last week I thought that if anything was wrong with my 2016 Dell 3650 desktop, then if I set it to repair on the next boot my pc would run better, DUH, HUH, DUMB. old woman!!! Now all I get when I turn it on the the blue screen with all the options and advanced options and NONE of them work. Oh bother, as Pooh would say.


I'm using my old Windows 7 desktop right now to search for help. And if I need to make a boot DVD, etc., I would have to make it on my Windows 7 desktop. And I would need EASY step by step instructions, pretty please...I just don't know what in the world to do. If anyone out there can help me , PLEASE do. I will appreciate it with all my heart.


Thank you, Stay safe

:)

 

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

Stuck in Windows 10 Upgrade

My computer seems to be stuck in a Windows 10 failed upgrade loop. I was running fine on a beta version of Windows 10, and then I came downstairs one morning to see it repeatedly booting, attempting to repair, then rebooting. The steps I've taken to diagnose are:

• Attempting to boot off a USB drive (with all drives disabled in BIOS) - this fails at the point of the blue windows screen
  
• Attempting to boot the machine itself and getting into "repair/safe mode" using F7
  
• Looking at the BIOS for obvious failures (e.g. RAM that should be there is missing) - nothing obvious is wrong.
  

I am fairly certain the build version was 9926. For many months, the system would attempt to upgrade, and then say "it failed" for some reason and roll back.

Suggestions for next steps?
