Haha yes please, this switching on and off 3-6 times and I get no repair mode, Apparently booting from network is best next option but when I check my boot options (I am connected to the internet) don't get a boot from network option

I'm laughing because I know you're not seriously asking me that, Nico ;)

You're welcome!

You're welcome!

You might need to get a Windows installer to get to the troubleshooting menus you need. Here's how: 2 USB boot drives EVERY PC user should make before it's too late! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q6mbgrl1rcyqeoE.html

Could be because it's the Pro version, but I don't think so. I would try a Windows installer disc and see if you get the same results. Here's how to create one: [2024 MEGA update!] 2 USB boot drives EVERY Windows user should make before it's too late! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ps9jm8SGm86Vlac.html

@@AskYourComputerGuy Found that by restarting my machine while holding the SHIFT+Power Key when it restarted it went into the Troubleshooting mode and the Startup Settings magically appeared. Was able to get into Safe Mode->Command Prompt and run “sfc /scannow” to fix corrupt system files and now I am back into my machine. (It was freezing at the Welcome screen) Will follow your lead and create the 2 USB drives. Thanks for your prompt reply!

@RiXube good deal!

Turns out it was an issue with the Windows 10 installation. Had to re-install it. For some reason my pc won't hibernate any longer. But...if thats all thats wrong at the end of the day I'm fine. Having my custom micro pc that I built running great and with a new OS feels great. I got 13 years out of it before this upgrade, hope to get a bunch more out of it! Asus micro atx motherboard, I5 2500 cpu, 16 gigs of ram, 4 tb storage, Lian-Li Micro Case. Been a pretty epic build for a lonnng time now 🤘😉 and it still looks soooo 😎

@NIGHTROCKER70 good deal!

I've seen that as well. Not every method will always work, depends on the level of Windows damage

Thank you! Glad I could help 💪

Can't access through BIOS. You have to just turn your PC on and power it off immediately anywhere from 5-6 times. Eventually you'll get your troubleshooting menus where you can force it to boot into safe mode 👍

Don't think so. Steam games are downloaded on the PC. Maybe? I don't know

Try it and see!

@@AskYourComputerGuy it worked, i did it becuase a mod wouldnt install on my drive evreything worked, including the mod

Sweet!

mine too

Could be anything, but sounds like hardware if you swapped the drive. That eliminates Windows. I'd start with removing memory sticks, as we as unplugging anything that isn't critical to use (extra drives, DVD drive, etc). Minimize the boot to motherboard, CPU, one stick of RAM. Even pull your GPU if you have one, that can cause issues as well

@@AskYourComputerGuy hi thank you for your response. So i tried doing all that but it still would not work. i even tried cold resetting the bios by both removing the cmos and connecting the 2 pins, but now i see another issue. it still has the same issue but on the second load it get's stuck on a blue screen. Also i used my ssd from a new laptop and it still didn't want to work so i assumed it must be the motherboard, but i am not so sure about it

@yumihikokitsuragi1377 that's what it's starting to sound like to me, friend

@@AskYourComputerGuy I am grateful for your response. I have recently contacted a friend to notify me when someone is willing to donate a motherboard. I will try it out and see if it works

In that case, you might need to reinstall Windows. Could be corrupted so bad that safe mode won't even load

@@AskYourComputerGuy That would require deletion of my installed software.

Just had that exact BSOD the other day. Took a lot of sfc and chkdsk and DISM repair but eventually it worked without reinstalling Windows

What point are you getting to before not getting into safe mode?

Omg BROOOOO you the man

I dont know why i cant even use 1 of those 10….

@huuduybaotruong531 usually that's because Windows is too far damaged to repair and just needs to be reinstalled 🥲

I would start here: How to fix ANY Windows problem with the built-in repair tool kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n5OBe9d7rKe8l30.html

LOL get into IT... you'll feel like that whole movie every day 😂

You probably need to use a Windows installer disc to access the menus if your system is that damaged. Here's how: [2024 MEGA update!] 2 USB boot drives EVERY Windows user should make before it's too late! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ps9jm8SGm86Vlac.html

Download WinDirStat free. You're welcome :)

@@AskYourComputerGuy how do i use it is it ez to use?

Yes it's super easy to use. If you still can't figure it out I'll make a video about it. It's one of my favorite programs I've used over the years and it actually really helps

@@AskYourComputerGuy hold up it downloaded winzip is that the same thing?

@@AskYourComputerGuy it says i need to pay

Gotta just reinstall windows sadly

Or u can do a restore point and reset windows back to its old state 90 percent of the time it don’t work

Can't hurt to try. But if that doesn't work, a Windows reinstall is likely the only solution

@AskYourComputerGuy thanks bro so yeah I finally got ahold of another pc to download windows 10 again worked thank God

@Xotiic5266 yeah my restore points wouldn't work either new windows usb download worked

Start your machine and shut down as soon as the Windows load circle appears. Rinse and repeat until the troubleshooting menu appears

I have the same problem -- no 'start settings' -- but cannot get the system to start a self repair by powering off/on 3 times -- or more. Here is the problem I have: The scenario: Ran CCleaner a few days ago and had it update 6 drivers. After that -- when requested to restart -- I did --- and now I can no longer boot. CCleaner does not respond to support requests. My machine: i5/3600 RX 1030 with 32 GB Ram--- simple office/email machine. Drive A is a 2 TB HD ---- Drive B is a 2 TB SSD. I have only been using the SSD drive I have a win 10 flash drive -- used it to boot to the "repair" screen -- went to CMD -- and tried the editbcd string to try to get into safemode. It failed stating that 'the boot configuration store could not be opened'. Tried this on both drives. also tried to do a restore image -- with rstrui.exe --- and that also failed. Not sure what to do next ---- any suggestions ? Thanks in advance for any help !

Not always available, depending on how you get to the menu. Just skip that choice and proceed to the next option

@@AskYourComputerGuy ?? What is the next option ?

@danielkolody6505 it's been a while, but whatever is next described in the video - usually will be the next logical step 👍

Try pulling RAM sticks one at a time
