Windows 10 won't start after changes to Start-up.
Hi,
I have a Dell Latitude 3460, Intel-core i3, 8gb ram with 64-bit Windows 10.
I made a big mistake editing some start-up features of Windows 10, in order to make it run faster. Now, Windows 10 won't start.
On startup, it hangs forever, then a blue screen with Dell showing there's a problem, attempts to repair, to no avail. I choose the restore point option and it restores to a previous point, but when I restart, I get the same problem. There are other options to solve the problem, such as UEFI Firmware settings, Command Prompt etc. but I require some assistance to go into that.
I want to know if there is anything I can do to solve the problem, or do I have to re-install Windows 10. It is a store bought PC, I don't have the installation disc.
I did the following that caused the problem.:
1. System Configuration > Boot > changed timeout to 15 seconds
2. System Configuration > Boot > Advanced options > ticked Maximum Memory box
3. Disabled Fast-Boot: Control Panel > Power Options > Choose what the Power Buttons do > I unticked the Turn On Fast Startup box
4. Adjusted the Virtual Memory settings: Control Panel > System > Advanced System Settings > Performance Settings > Advanced > Virtual Memory > Change > I unticked Automatic Manage Paging File Size > I chose Custom Size and altered the Initial Size (1.5 x 8gb ram ) Maximum Size (3 x 8gb ram).
Thanks in advance for your help.
