Windows 10: Windows is booting to blue screen

My laptop is running latest Windows 10 with updates as of 10/14/2019. Note that, it came with Windows 8 when I purchased it and it was upgraded to Windows 10 at the first opportunity. (I am not sure whether the backup of old OS is there any more).


Yesterday, I did the following sequence of events for a different issue:


1. I disabled all the non microsoft services in msconfig->services

2. Disabled all enabled items in Task manager->startup (around 5 of them)

3. Enabled safe mode (minimal) in msconfig->boot and restarted the laptop with no issues

4. Then I disabled the safe mode in msconfig->boot and went to General tab in msconfig

5. In general tab, as far as I remember, selective startup with only first two checkboxes were checked. I went ahead and selected normal startup and restarted the system


That's when I started getting the blue screen at boot.


1. This is the screen that I get when boot. Note that the line with "file" comes only when F8 is clicked.



2. If I click f8 screen just flickers and stays there

3. If I click f1 I get the following screen




4. If I click Troubleshoot I get





5. If I click Startup repair I get (Note: I never see a Windows 10 option)





6. When I click on it I get





Now, I am able to access the command prompt and I can see that all my original Windows files and personal files are still there under C:. However, it apparently, created a small X: drive from where I suspect it might be booting.


How do I get back to Windows 10?

Startup Blue Screen

Hi Jon,

Startup blue screen error(s) can occur if a problem causes your PC to shut down or restart unexpectedly. It could be due to the following:

• Outdated device software drivers
• Corrupted Windows update system files
• Software/Security conflicts

We would like to know some information:

• Did you get any blue screen stop error codes?
• Have you tried booting in Safe mode?

We suggest that you check this
article about troubleshooting blue screen errors and follow the troubleshooting steps provided there.

We will wait for your response

would like to know more about the issue. Please clarify the following:

Blue screen and stop code

Hi
Jeferis,

There are a lot of factors for this matter to occur. To isolate the issue, we have some questions for you:

• 
  What activity have you done to
  trigger the NTFS and FAT FILE SYS loop?
  
• 
  were there any error messages?
  
• 
  What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
  

It is possible that the
Boot
Sequence were corrupted by the previous activity which
triggered the Blue Screen Error and the loop. We recommend that you perform these
suggested troubleshooting
and see if there are any changes:

Startup Repair.


To access the
Startup Repair Screen, turn off the
PC 3-4 times(force shutdown),
while on the Blue screen Error. This will route you to the
Startup repair screen:

Advanced Boot Options > click Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Command Prompt

and run the following command:

Run SFC Scan:  

SFC
will
scan
and
run
an
automatic repair
to any
corrupted system files
that it will detect. We suggest that you perform it twice. To run an
SFC scan, follow these steps:  

• 
  Run
  Command Prompt as Administrator.  
  
• 
  Type
  sfc /scannow
  and hit
  Enter.   
  

Boot Record:

This will fix the corruptions on
boot records or boot
sequence. To run this command, follow these steps:

• 
  Run
  Command Prompt as Administrator.
  
• 
  Type the following command:  
  
  • 
    Bootrec /fixMBR  
    
  • 
    Bootrec /fixBoot
    
  • 
    Bootrec /rebuildBCD
    

Update us on how it goes.

Regards.
