Windows 10: Windows 10 Anniversary: Blue Screen on a Loop

Windows 10 (anniversary update) won't boot on my pc: a blue screen appears on a loop, and Windows keeps restarting without ever fully loading (Error: "It looks like Windows didn't load correctly. We're collecting some info and will restart it for you"), which also means that I can't upload the requested YourComputerName-xxxx.zip file.

I've had a look at other threads concerning similar issues, but none of the fixes suggested worked for me. Here's what I have tried so far:

From TROUBLESHOOTING MENU


Startup Repair: failed
System Restore: failed to restore the directory from the restore point. Source: AppxStaging; Destination: %ProgramFiles%\WindowsApp. An unexpected error occurred during System Restore (0x80070091)
Go Back to Previous Build: failed
Boot in Safe Mode: failed

Command Prompt
sfc /scannow - verification 100% complete. Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation
chkdsk c: /r /x - verification 100% complete. No errors found. No further action required

With a BOOTABLE USB DRIVE


Install Windows: failed due to compatibility issues

Repair this computer: command prompt
chkdsk c: /f /r - Windows has scanned the file system and found no problems

sfc /scannow /offbootdir=d :/ \offwindir=d:\windows - Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service

sfc /scannow /offbootdir=c :/ \offwindir=c:\windows - Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.

Can somebody please help me fix this problem? Thanks!

Windows 10 Defender Offline stuck in infinite restart loop

Yesterday 4/5/2017 I used one of my computers to upgrade from windows 10 version 1607 to version 1703. Then I tested for WDO blue screen boot loop with windows driver verifier.

The WDO blue screen boot loop will soon be history. The updated windows 10 version 1703 did not produce any WDO blue screen boot loops!!!!!!!!

 

Windows 10 Anniversary Upadate

Tried to update windows 10 to the anniversary edition on my computer (ToshibaL670-BT2N22). The anniversary edition restarts and appears to updated as stated.
However, Windows (circle) is in a continuous loop and will not go to the welcome screen. The screen is blank and there is a circle on the screen that has
a loop for the past four (4) hours. Then I attempted to use the restore feature and that has not worked either. How can I resolve this problem?

 

Hi, try this:
Download Macrium Reflect (free); create its boot disk.

It includes a very useful Fixboot utility, which you can try running.

SFC and DISM just check your system files in your Windows partition. Similarly that chkdsk command only checks the integrity of your file system on your Windows partition. Your problem relates to other parts of the disk, not those.

I suspect you are not seeing a BSOD screen but a different and paler blue screen.

You may also wish to run a check on your disk.
For that you could use Kyhi's boot disk which includes HDTune, from the top of the Software and Apps section here. It also includes Macrium R.

 

Hi Dalchina,
I've booted from Kyhi's boot disk and ran Macrium R. from there. Nothing changed after reboot.
I then ran Lazesoft Recovery and was (finally) able to boot normally. It's a powerful tool.
Thanks for your help!

PS: the blue screen I was seeing was fairly pale indeed -- error message said: "Stopcode: Critical Process Died")
