What should I do if Windows fails to boot?

[riyanroshan]

If Windows does not boot then try these steps, restart your computer and take out all the external devices. Boot into Safe Mode can be tried by using Windows Recovery Mode. Fix startup issues using Automatic Repair from a Windows installation USB/DVD, for example. A System Restore can revert Windows to a previous good state. To check for disk errors use the Command Prompt and chkdsk /f /r C:. If all else fails, you should replace your data and redo Windows. Also, analyzing hardware components like RAM and the hard drive for possible failures is recommended.

• Safe Mode: Boot into Safe Mode via Recovery Mode to troubleshoot software issues and uninstall problematic updates or drivers.
• Startup Repair: Use Windows Automatic Repair to detect and fix startup problems without affecting personal files.
• Check Disk & Reinstall: Run chkdsk for disk errors; if unresolved, back up data and reinstall Windows.

If Windows fails to boot, try these steps:

• Verify hardware connections between all cables alongside checks for readily evident hardware problems.
• Automatic Repair becomes possible by choosing "Repair your computer" from the Windows installation media to trigger Startup Repair.
• To troubleshoot startup issues you should initiate Safe Mode by hitting F8 during system startup.
• Disk check can be initiated using the repair menu Command Prompt to run chkdsk /f /r C: for disk error correction.
• The System Restore feature helps users move back to a previous stable configuration when it is available.

First, check if Windows fails to start so you must restart your PC while removing all external devices. Three consecutive force shutdowns allow you to reach Advanced Startup Repair followed by Startup Repair or entering Safe Mode for recent update uninstallation. The issues can be diagnosed with the SFC/scannow command followed by the chkdsk C: /f /r commands through Command Prompt to detect errors on the system. The boot configuration requires rebuilding either through System Restore or by implementing bootrec commands. Rephrase your BIOS configuration when you must install Windows using a bootable USB as your last fix.
