Windows 10: Windows 10 only works in safe mode from automatic repair - freezes during boot up otherwise

Hello!

My PC is a Lenovo Ideacentre AIO 520. After a forced shutdown due to freezing, my computer can no longer boot up normally. The loading circle freezes and occasionally I get a 'WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR' blue screen, which never actually restarts. I can only access safe mode after entering advanced startup via hard shutdowns. Freezing also happens when restarting


I ran chkdsk C: /r. It took around 2 hours to finish but didn't actually fix anything.


Also did a Lenovo diagnostics test, with nothing out of the ordinary popping up.


I attempted a system restore to a week before this happened. No difference.


I attempted to reset the computer keeping files, but there was a problem and no changes were made.



The next day I attempt to use DISM and SFC from safe mode. I run


Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth


but get the error



Error: 0x800f081f

The source files could not be found.


I then download both the Windows 10 Media Creation tool then download as an ISO and the Techbench ISO, mount both of them, and specify the source for both the install.esd from the media creation tool and install.wim from the Techbench ISO when running the above command. Same error, even with the correct path.

I run

dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

and it's a success.


I then run


sfc /scannow


A great total of 88 corrupted system files !!!! were found, and none of them could be repaired missing components.


I'm assuming a lot of the corrupted files were a result of the two power outages that happened when the computer was on and busy. Although, I'm not entirely sure if these corrupt files are what's causing my startup issues. Seems quite likely to me though.


I have another Windows 10 laptop I could use to replace the corrupt files with, but would that solve much, and would it be worth the time?

I would like some guidance, perhaps some opinions on my situation, maybe a diagnosis or even a solution to this issue! Thanks in advance and sorry for the lack of specific terminology. If anyone needs more information, please let me know :

Windows 10 random automatic repair after changing boot priority.

Hello. So i have an Windows 10 Pro. Sometimes when i am changing in bios boot order from USB to HDD ( SDD ) windows starts booting with AUTOMATIC REPAIR and then restarting. Is this something with BIOS \ Windows 10 bug related? Tested on pc and on laptop , and sometimes it doing the same.


Situation on PC first,listen:

Few days ago after i change boot in UEFI BIOS from USB to SSD.
Then Windows 10 showed at 1 boot Automatic Repair.
When starting Windows 10 boot loader starts by "preparing automatic repair" and diagnosing pc.
Interesting is that if I restart Windows (after procedure mentioned earlier) it will boot normally. This startup problem was occured only when starting system again after shutdown or restarted pc from windows.So i was needed 2 boots to boot properly to windows.
But on pc, format was needed to remove completely issue and after format is fine.

Pc :
2x8gb Kingston Hyperx 1600mhz DDR3
SSD samsung Evo 250 gb
4790k stock
Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark 2 with UEFI BIOS


Now laptop with old standard bios:
On laptop i made the same operation, change boot from USB to HDD and on first boot Windows 10 shows Automatic Repair. But it happened once and i cant reproduce. No format was needed.

laptop is very old with 2gb ram

Why on pc format was needed when on laptop not?



Thanks for suggestions.

 

PC freeze within 30sec of boot, works fine in safe mode

Hi there,

Having an issue with my Laptop, running win 10 pro.

Freezing in less than 30 secs of boot normal boot.Safe mode works fine where I have tried to run sfc now issue found.

So here is a quick list of what I have so far tried

• Boot to safe mode sfc /scannow no issue found
• Tried a clean boot(disable all no MS services) and reboot
• Sign in under a new user account
• Read logs but nothing seen freezing seem to not write any logs.
• Memory test passed
• chkdsk passed
• run windows repair off disk
• Sure there is more than I can not think of at the moment as my brain is ready to sleep
• System Restore
• Startup Repair

I am thinking it might be a driver based issue due to working fine when in safe mode but haven't updated any drivers.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

 

Windows 10 - Automatic Repair - boots in 2nd cycle

Hello. This is similiar topic on our forum but now i will explain more brighter.
So last time after i change in my UEFI boot priority from :"UEFI USB KINGSTON" to "P1 SSD SAMSUNG EVO 250 GB" i am getting weird booting problem with Windows 10.







When starting Windows 10 boot loader starts by "preparing automatic repair" and diagnosing pc. Then after this i get screen with Your pc did not start correctly or Automatic Repair couldnt repair your pc . And when i click restart then Windows 10 boot fine. So i am needing 2 boots to boot properly to windows.

My disk is on MBR partirion. Is this related to my UEFI/Partitions?



Somebody said to me this:"UEFI booting requires a GPT disk. This is why Windows has to fix itself and only boots in 2nd cycle - as you keep trying to boot UEFI to an MBR disk."



Also i know that UEFI firmware can emulate BIOS functionality (CSM/Legacy) and work with MBR disks just fine. Or i am wrong? And cause is elsewhere?



I am a little confused. Thx for reply. My ssd Samsung Evo 250 GB , rams 2x8gb DDR3 Kingston Hyperx 1600mhz.
