Windows 10: Windows 10 stuck in boot loop when trying to start from bootable USB. Is there anything I...

Hello, I'm not the brightest when it comes to computers, so I need a bit of help.As a result of windows version 22H2 not installing after updating, I spent some time following some instructions on another Microsoft forum. I think I stopped some windows processes, uninstalled some system files using cmd, and started again. After installing and downloading the update and restarting, I was unable to login to my pc because it rejects my password even if it is correct. I also cannot use tools in the recovery screen because winload.efi is missing. I've come to the conclusion that I might be able to

Multi-bootable USB

Hey guys from TPU, couldn't find any specific thread pertaining to the question asked on title. As mentioned, I'm trying to create a bootable USB, but with many specifics boots available.

I've been trying to create one with multiple boot device including one that enables me to run Windows 10 directly on the USB Thumb Drive but to no avail.

The list of bootable images i'm trying to create are

1. Windows 10 (A full OS running from thumb drive)
2. Windows 10 ISO (Bootable disk image for fresh install)
3. MemTest86+

Have tried YUMI or UUI from the website USB PenDrive Linux but as this is my first time, i don't know how am i screwing up or am doing it right.. Anyone got a rough idea on a step by step guide? Thanks!

 

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

 

Preparing automatic repair loop AND Bootable Drive stuck on black screen

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

It sounds like you're facing a complex issue with your computer not booting properly, getting stuck in a repair loop, and encountering difficulties with bootable media. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the situation:

1. Boot in Safe Mode: If your computer is stuck in a boot loop or encountering booting issues, try booting into Safe Mode. This mode loads a minimal set of drivers and services and can help identify if the issue is related to a specific driver or software. To access Safe Mode, repeatedly press the "F8" key during boot-up or follow the specific key sequence for your computer model.
   
2. Disconnect External Devices: Disconnect all external devices, including the bootable stick, except for the keyboard and mouse. Sometimes, devices connected to the computer can cause boot issues.
   
3. Use Windows Startup Repair: If your computer is stuck in an automatic repair loop, try the following steps:
   
   • Let the automatic repair process run for a while. Sometimes it might take some time to complete.
     
   • If that doesn't work, boot from the bootable stick, select "Repair your computer," and then choose "Troubleshoot" > "Advanced options" > "Startup Repair." This will attempt to automatically fix any startup issues.
     
4. Perform System Restore: If you have a system restore point created before the issue occurred, you can try restoring your system to that point. This might help revert any changes that caused the boot issue.
   
5. Try Different Bootable Media: If you're having issues with your current bootable stick, try creating a bootable USB drive using a different computer. Ensure that you're creating the bootable media correctly and selecting the correct boot device in your BIOS/UEFI settings.
   

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further updates, thanks.
