Windows 10: Windows 10 Won't Boot, Load or Repair

I have an HP laptop that until a few weeks ago, worked perfectly. The OS is Windows 10 (64 bit).


If I try rebooting, I get a screen with several options, none of which helped with getting Windows 10 to boot. I tried the 3x hard shutdowns to get to the repair menu...none of these options work.

I have tried the USB repair disc made on another machine running windows 10. None of the repair options work (error rolling back updates, etc.). The only think that I can get is the command prompt. I have tried other options I found on this forum (such as chkdsk c:/r/x run from the command prompt) and some others...nothing.


From the USB, If I try to reinstall windows instead of repairing, that fails also. The option "Upgrade: Install Windows and Keep files, settings and applications" does not work, showing a message saying there is no OS to upgrade. The option "Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)" brings up a window that asks "Where do you want to install windows" which displays a message "We couldn't find any drives. To get a storage driver, click load driver." I do this and then I get a dropdown menu which then asks me to browse, which I do, and I get a browse menus showing:

This PC

-Downlaods

-Desktop

-3d Objects

-Documents

-Music

-Videos

-Pictures

-ESD-USB (C

-Boot (X


But no drivers are available.


Lastly, I load the Bios and before it loads, a screen pops up I can't see all the text because it goes by so fast but it shows my hard drive info, "935.00 gbyte incompatible" in red letters. It then jumps to the bios.


I am lost.

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 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.
