Thus, in Windows Vista and Windows 7 it is called “ Startup Repair", And in Windows 8 it is called" Automatic Repair", And in Windows 10 it is again called" Startup Repair».

So now the questions we usually ask are:

What is it: windows 10 startup repair?

Both features are the same and it is a very useful and effective Windows recovery tool. The main job of this feature is to restore Windows when something prevents it from starting operating system.

What does "Startup Repair" or "Automatic Repair" actually do in Windows?

Startup or Automatic Repair Is the only recovery tool you have, as Windows requiring immediate recovery is the one that launches. This tool is designed to repair only certain glitches, such as missing or damaged system files that were mainly used to boot the Windows operating system.

Why "Startup Repair" or "Automatic Repair" says " can't fix«?

Indeed, this function cannot show you what is causing the problem to start windows. It will not help you recover your personal files and documents. It also cannot detect or fix hardware failures and does not help in the fight against virus attacks and their damage.

How do I use Startup Repair and Automatic Repair?

When you turn on your computer and it displays your logo screen BIOS, quickly press the " Shift»And press the key several times F8.

It may not work the first time. Just restart your computer and try again. Eventually, you will enter recovery mode and you will see the next step described below.

If you cannot open it with the Shift and F8 keys, the only option is to use Windows Disc or Windows USB Pendrive... It will also help if windows 7 startup recovery does not start.

To open Startup or Automatic Repair from Windows Disk:

Use only a bootable disk appropriate for your current operating system. For example, use the Windows 8 installation disc if you installed Windows 8 on your computer. Use the Windows 10 installation disc if you are using Windows 10.

First, you will need to boot your Windows disk or USB stick using boot sequence priority. If you do not know how to do this, please follow the link below. restoring windows 7 startup via command line (win 8/10):

Every Windows 10 user has different problems. No developer can guarantee the absence of errors. In previous versions of the system, if any problems occurred, the only way to fix them was to reinstall Windows. Currently, there are many ways to restore the system performance without completely reinstalling it.

Incorrect system start

If, after turning on the computer, you see a notification about automatic recovery with the words "The computer has not started correctly", then it means that there are problems with the system. They could have appeared for the following reasons:

damage to the files of the system itself - the files of the system could be damaged due to improper shutdown of the device, actions of malicious programs (viruses), or simply due to careless handling;
system registry corruption - registry entries can also be corrupted by viruses or programs to clean it up. Therefore, it is always worth making copies of the registry before modifying it;
incorrectly installed update - if the update files were not fully downloaded or were installed with an error, then you may get this problem the next time you start the operating system;
one-time system boot errors - due to hard disk problems, the operating system may boot incorrectly.

At the same time, directly restarting the computer does not always help. If the damage to the system files really happened, then after rebooting you will see the same window again.

If after restarting your computer you get a black screen, it means that the system was unable to load the initial Windows shell again.

Ways to fix error at system startup

The easiest way is to restart your computer. If this does not help or the error keeps returning from time to time, you should try disabling fast boot of the operating system. When booting quickly, Windows skips a number of steps that might fix this issue. To disable it, do the following:

Press Win + X and open "Control Panel" through the shortcut menu. Open the "Control Panel" via the quick access menu
Select the "Power supply" section. If you do not see it, then change the display mode of the "Control Panel" to "Large icons".
Select the "Power" section in the "Control Panel"
Select Power Button Actions to further customize this section.
Select "What the power buttons do" on the left side of the window
Open the item "Change settings that are currently unavailable."
Select the section "Change settings that are currently unavailable"
Uncheck the box next to the "Enable Fast Startup" line. Done, fast startup of the operating system is disabled.
Uncheck the box "Enable Fast Startup" and confirm the changes
Click "Save Changes".

This method will not help if you are unable to get into the system. But if the error is irregular, then he will correct it. In addition, you can start the system in safe mode, and only then perform all the necessary actions. This is done as follows:

Click on the "Advanced options" button in the automatic recovery window.
Click the Advanced Options button in the Automatic Repair window
Select the "Troubleshoot" menu and then go to "Advanced options".
Select the "Troubleshooting" menu
Click on "Download Options".
Click on "Download Options"
Review the list of possible options.
Select the action you need in the "Boot Options" using the F1-F9 keys
Press the F4 key to restart your computer in Safe Mode.

Disable automatic recovery

You can also solve the problem by disabling the automatic recovery procedure itself. But keep in mind that this will not correct the situation due to which the message appears, and may even complicate its solution in the future, since without access to the window, it will be more difficult to get into the system recovery options. Therefore, it is worth doing this only if you are sure that the automatic recovery notification is your only problem. To disable this window, do the following:

Click on the "More Options" button.
Open the "Advanced options" window in the "Automatic recovery" menu
Open the Troubleshooting section and select Advanced Options.
Choose to open "Command Prompt".
Open "Command Prompt" in the "Advanced Options" recovery
Enter the bcdedit command. It will show you important information about loading the operating system.
Find among this information the item resumeobject and save the data opposite this item.
Copy information from "Command Line"
Enter the command bcdedit / set (object), where instead of the word object you will need to insert the data you saved. Confirm this command.
Enter a new command with the information that you copied earlier
The automatic recovery window will no longer bother you, even if the problem with the operating system has not been resolved yet.

Rolling back the operating system

If all else fails, then you need to proceed directly to recovering the operating system files. And this action can also be performed in different ways.

Return to the rollback point

A rollback (restore) point is the state of the computer's system files at a specific point in time. To create it, you need to do the following:

Now, in case of problems, you can return to the rollback point. This can be done in one of two ways:

Regardless of the method that was chosen, you just have to follow a few steps:

Resetting the system to its original state

If there is no way to return to the restore point, then resetting the operating system to its original state will help you. This action is intended to replace the reinstallation of the operating system. Windows 10 resets as follows:

Select the "Options" section, it is marked with a gear icon.
Select "Settings" from the "Start" menu

Black screen and cursor (Windows 8.1)

Reboot. With the "Eight" and "Ten" often such a trick passes (not always, but what if?). Reboot - she will swear at the update or at her bitter share and boot. If happiness does not happen, then boot into safe mode, as Alek55sandr5 advised, and try to restore the system from it (roll back to the restore point created before the update).

In your case, you need to do a system restore. To do this, you need to try to start the system in safe mode. To enter safe mode, you need to press (possibly several times) the Shift + F8 key combination at the very beginning of the operating system boot. But often this method fails to enter Safe Mode on Windows 8.1. If this option did not suit you either, then you need a bootable disk or flash drive with Windows 8.1. Because, unfortunately, only with the help of a boot disk can you restore the OS. When booted from the installation disk, a window with the OS installation should appear. There will be an Install button in the center of this window, but you will need to click the Restore button. And then I think you'll figure it out for yourself.

Hello our dear readers! Today we will talk about restoration health of windows 10.

After a break, I decided to write another article. In it, we will continue to study the features of the Microsoft Windows 10 operating system. Since we have not yet studied this new product well enough, today we will devote our time to solving another problem. Namely, when booting, Windows 10 does not boot. Here are the things ...

We will proceed from the assumption that our hardware is in good working order, the hard dick of the computer has no physical damage to the surface, the system unit is intact, it was not hit with a sledgehammer, and all the connectors for connecting the peripherals are not ripped out and are in their proper places.

Yes, yes, dear reader, don't smile; this happened, I had to see such computers. Sometimes people can't cope with the influx of feelings ... 🙂 🙂 :), and then morning comes ... L L L But, I hope, everything is not so with you. And everything is all right.

Welcome to a quick overview of the article:

(helps with problems starting windows 10)

The final click will start the Windows 10 rollback procedure. After successful completion, the system will start in normal mode.

Several important points regarding recovery in this way:

It is impossible to stop a process launched through the console in safe mode;
You cannot undo changes that have taken effect;
After the end of the rollback, a text document will appear on the desktop, which will describe all the affected (deleted) files. The names are presented in the form of links, by clicking on which you can quickly recover the lost data.

If a black screen or eternal preparation for automatic system recovery does not allow you to enter the safe mode of the computer, then proceed to rollback the system using the BIOS tool.

Windows 10 BIOS recovery

It should be noted right away that this method can be implemented only if the user has a disk or flash drive with a licensed operating system distribution kit, otherwise the option can be skipped.

The first step is to configure the BIOS to read the disk when the computer starts up. For this:

BIOS is configured. Now it is enough to insert the external device on which the distribution is stored.

Helpful hints when working with the environment:

You can find the correct key to enter the BIOS in the instructions for the computer or on the manufacturer's website. Most modern PC models use the Delete button;
On laptops, the key combination ctrl + alt + esc can be used to enter the BIOS;
In addition to the standard Boot, the 1st Boot Device section can be located in “Boot Device” or “Boot Device configuration”.

Now directly restore Windows 10. After the external device has been inserted, and the computer is started, a window will appear in which, instead of "Install", click in the left bottom of the "System Restore" screen:

An action selection window will appear, in which you need to select the diagnostics section:

It is worth noting such a tool as Startup Repair. This function initiates a scan of the computer for errors and corrects them during detection. You can try to run the utility, but you should not rely on it. In most cases, after a short search, a message will appear stating that the computer could not be restored.

If BIOS fails to start

Situations when it is impossible to enter BIOS when the preparation process for automatic update hangs are quite common. Many users do not understand what to do in such a situation, but there is a solution - reset (zeroing) the BIOS environment.

There are three relatively simple and safe zeroing methods:

After using any of the methods, the user will be able to enter the BIOS and configure it to recover Windows 10.

Hard drive problems

The error where Windows 10 does not load correctly can be related to crashes or critical errors on the hard drive. It is impossible to solve this without buying or repairing "hard", but it is still possible to calculate the presence of problems without fully launching Windows 10.

In the right corner you can see values \u200b\u200blike 5ms, 20ms, etc. They represent the period of access to each sector of the hard drive. The ideal value is 5ms and the more such sectors, the better.
