How-to
You can fix most Windows 10 boot problems using the Startup Repair feature, and here's how.
On Windows 10, when the computer isn't starting correctly, you can use the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) to resolve the issue quickly, and in this guide, I'll show you how.
It's just a matter of time before your device gets stuck loading or won't start. Instead of spending time trying to find out the problem, Windows 10 includes the "Startup Repair" feature (as part of the WinRE experience) designed to quickly fix the most common issues that may be preventing your computer from loading correctly.
To use the Startup Repair feature to fix boot issues with Windows 10, you'll need to access the Windows Recovery Environment (also known as Advanced startup settings), which you can do in at least three different ways, depending on the situation.
If your computer isn't loading or is stuck during boot, use these steps to access the recovery environment:
•Start the computer.
•As soon as the Windows logo appears, press the power button to interrupt the boot sequence.
•Repeat steps 1 and 2 two more times.
Alternatively, in case your device isn't booting up, use a USB installation media to access the Windows Recovery Environment with these steps:
•Start the computer with a USB bootable media.
•Quick tip: If the device isn't starting from the USB flash drive, you must change your system's BIOS settings to ensure it can boot from USB. Usually, you can access the BIOS by powering up the computer and pressing one of the functions, "Delete" or "ESC" keys, but check your manufacturer's support website for more information.
•Click the Next button.
•Click the "Repair your computer" option in the bottom-left corner.
Once you complete the steps, use the steps below to continue to the "Startup Repair" tool.
If you have access to the desktop, use these steps to access the recovery environment to use the Startup Repair tool on Windows 10:
•Open Settings.
•Click on Update & Security.
•Click on Recovery.
•Under the "Advanced startup" section, click the Restart now button.
After completing the steps, continue with the steps below to fix loading problems with your device using the automatic repair feature.
To use Startup Repair to resolve booting problems, use these steps:
•Click the Troubleshoot button.
•Click the Advanced options button.
•Click the Startup Repair button.
•Select your Windows 10 account.
•Confirm your account password.
