    Windows 10. Reset PC error. cannot start up windows.


    So, today I decided to reset/reboot my PC due to reaching maximum storage. So I went to "Settings-Update & Security-Reset this PC. And so it began to reset. It got to about 12% done and then it said "Failed to reset PC" and gave me the option to use an USB. Go back to windows or shut off. So I pressed back to windows 10. But then the screen just went black. And I am not able to do anything. Tried shutting it off and then restarting it but it only goes as far as the windows 10 logo. Then turns to black.

    Any ideas?

    :)

  2. Has anyone had the issue after installing the latest windows 10 update, my pc does not get to the sign in screen?

    Start up repair does not even work, it gives a error saying pc cannot be repaired. Even resetting my pc through the troubleshoot menu does not help. Its a desktop I7 with windows 10

  3. Wndows 10 will not startup and give Bluescreen Error

    Old title: windows 10 will not startup

    Windows 10 will not startup! It is trying but it flashes to a blue screen that says the pc will not startup because of errors. I have tried to 'refresh the pc, recovery manager, system reset, and restore PC. Reset goes to 50% and so does restore and then
    get error that says cannot continue operation. I have also got the installation .iso file, but that will start either.

    You would have been better off deleting old files and uninstalling programs not needed to free up space. I would always try a repair install first to correct a serious problem or recover from a previous restore point.

    At this stage try the following for which you need access to another PC:

    Use the Windows Media Creation tool to make a Windows 10 USB install disc, boot from that disk and attempt to repair your PC - see - https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2...dows-10-a.html

    Install Macrium Reflect Free and create a USB repar disk from Reflect. Then boot the repair USB disk and attempt to repair your PC. See http://www.macrium.com/help/v5/How_t...nvironment.htm

    Kyhi on this forum has an excelllent recovery disk you coud try - see Windows 10 Recovery Tools - Bootable Rescue Disk

    If the above doesn't work you could recover from your latest system backup if you have one. If not, I strongly recommend you to start using Macrium Reflect to image/backup your system.

    If all the above fail, I fear you need a clean install of Windows 10 *Sad
