    Windows 10 won't boot after failed update - reboot loop / circle


    Hi,

    I had automatic update on my Windows 10 machine. I snoozed it for later all day and left the house. When I got back computer was unresponsive so I rebooted it.
    Then it was stuck on reboot loop. Windows logo + rolling dots for a couple of seconds and then reboot.

    After trying automatic boot repair from Windows that failed I tried some manual steps.
    1. Chkdsk
    2. sfc /scannow

    Still same issue

    When booting Windows media it says something in the spirit of "it looks like you were in the middle of an upgrade, do you want clean install or continue?". That led me to believe that it's failed "stuck" upgrade.

    Then after reading here a bit I found an option to remove the pending actions using DISM. After removing the latest update + remove pending actions it's now stuck on infinite rolling dots.

    Automatic repair error log shows:
    Name: Disk metadata test
    Result: Completed successfully. Error code = 0x32

    Please advise. I'm doing anything I can do avoid re-install.

    Thanks

    :)

  3. System stuck with loading circle in reboot loop on Windows 10

    Hi Joey,

    Provide us additional information to assist you better with this issue:

    • What is the complete error message/ error code as the computer stuck at reboot loop?
    • What exactly were you trying to perform prior to this issue?
    • What is the make and model of your computer?

    Let us try the troubleshooting steps below and check if it helps.

    As a workaround I suggest you to unplug all the external devices connected to your computer, hard reboot the device and check with the status of this issue.

    If the issue persists, try the troubleshooting steps below as the boot files of current operating system might been corrupted.

    I suggest you to download Windows 10 ISO file, create an installation media from other working computer to perform Startup Repair of the computer that you are unable to boot.

    Using ISO file to perform Startup Repair will allow the device to boot the system to Windows Recovery Environment and tries to repair the device.

    Step 1:
    I suggest you to try Startup Repairing the Windows and check if it helps.

    Download the Windows 10 ISO and create a Media Creation tool and then perform Startup Repair.

    Refer to the following link: Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool

    (Refer to the section "Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool” in the above article for creating the tool).

    Step 2: After creating the tool perform Startup Repair.

    I would like to inform that, if your Windows 10 is not able to boot or startup, Startup Repair will come into action and try to diagnose and fix the issue. It will scan system files, registry settings, configuration settings and
    more and try to fix the problem on its own, automatically.

    Perform the Startup Repair:

    • When your computer starts, wait for the manufacturer logo to check the option for boot menu, it will usually be
      F12.
    • The boot menu key might differ with each manufacturer. If you are unable to find the boot menu key, you may refer the user manual.
    • Restart the computer, when the manufacturer's logo is displayed, keep pressing the
      Boot menu option key to enter the boot menu and change the boot option to
      CD\DVD ROM.
    • After you boot your computer using Windows 10 DVD, a black screen appears with gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press any key.
    • Select the correct time and Keyboard type.
    • Click Repair your computer in the lower left corner
    • Click on Troubleshooting, advanced option and then click
      Startup Repair.

    Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of booting the operating system to desktop from rebooting loop. We will be happy to help you further.

    Thank you.
