Windows 10: Windows 10 critical process error booting from a black screen command prompt

Windiws 10 critical process error. How to you boot from a black screen command prompt?

:)

 

Installation media boots to command prompt

I've just booted from known working install media to see exactly what it does when booting. The sequence of events is...

1. Windows logo on a black screen
2. circling dots appear beneath the logo
3. light blue 'Please wait' screen with circling dots
4. a command prompt window (very briefly)
5. the initial Setup page appears

Do you see steps 1-3? If so, it appears you have stopped at step 4, suggesting that something on the disc cannot be read.

Does the disc boot properly in another machine? If so, try cleaning the laptop's drive lens then try booting from the disc again.

If not, make new install media with Microsoft's Media Creation Tool, either as a bootable USB, on an ISO that you can burn to another disc. At Step 8 in Option One of this tutorial you can choose between making a USB or an ISO.

We appreciate the information you've provided. The error "Critical process died" happens when Windows detects that a critical component of the system processes has been modified. We suggest
that you update the drivers for your Virtual Machine program, as well as the VGA driver, then run the System File Checker tool to find and fix corrupted or
missing system files. To do run do a scan with SFC, you need to access Command Prompt.

Since you're using Windows 10 on a Virtual Machine, consult your program's user guide on how to restart Windows three times in a row so that you can reach the Recovery screen. Then follow the steps below:

• 
  Click See advanced repair options.
  
• 
  Click Troubleshoot.
  
• 
  Click Advanced options.
  
• 
  Click Command Prompt.
  
• 
  Type sfc /scannow and press Enter. Wait for it to finish.
  
• 
  Type shutdown /r and press Enter.
  

Note: It may take up to three scans with restarts in between to for SFC to find and fix all system files.

Let us know the results of the SFC scan.
