Windows 10: Windows 10 Unable To Boot

Hello everyone, first post on the community so my formatting (if you guys have formatting rules) may not be great.


So recently I've realized my Dell Inspiron 7773 (Inspiron 17 7000 Series) has always been at 100% Disc, so I asked dell, they gave me a support article, linked here.


So after changing the registry EXACTLY as they asked on the article and rebooting, I came to a surprising response, the BSOD.


The moment I saw the bsod, I was on the phone with dell. I was transferred once, twice, three times, four times, and finally, a manager because the other four ALL said that Dell only covered hardware, and that they were "no way liable for whatever was posted on their website" ..... Umm, the article was on their support knowledge base. So anyway, after talking with the manager, she confirmed that the support was correct, then I hang up.


It's been 3 months since, I've been using my desktop, which is 5 years old and still running better, but today I ran into a problem. All of my old files were on the computer. I got the computer out, used my seagate expansion drive to boot from, and clicked repair, I had my BitLocker recovery key and is now in the C:\Windows> Folder in the command prompt, which is the only thing I can access. I've tried "start .", only regedit works, but when I changed it back and now it's saying there's a network driver problem. Ive tried verifier, I've tried regedit, I've tried chkdsk.

Using Verifier to run Netwtw04.sys tells me to reboot and then it resets itself, don't know why.


Here's the error.

Stop code: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

What failed: Netwtw04.sys

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

 

windows 10 slow boot

I was having a slow boot issue on my Windows 7 install a little while back. It would take about 30 - 40 extra seconds to boot up for whatever reason.

I would try following these steps, while this didn't solve my issue, it did increase Read/Write to where it should be.

In the end, I had to reinstall my Windows 7 entirely to fix the booting issue. It was taking around 35 seconds to boot, and after the fresh install it takes about 7 seconds to boot.
