Booting to black screen + blinking caret -- can't repair

ntahoeusntahoeu · 19 Sep 2019

"Running" Windows 10 (probably Pro, possibly N-edition) on a Macbook air 2012. Installed with Bootcamp Assistant which means a hybrid MBR, and legacy Bios mode for Windows (but not for macOS) on this particular model.

When booting Windows I just get a black screen with a blinking caret ('_'). It probably happened after a hard powercycle during an update.

Progression:

Windows booted. No wireless networks listed. Turns out Windows' wireless service wasn't running and refused to start. I did a simple registry edit removing two out of three dependencies for that service. Didn't work, so I reversed my registry edit.
I can't remember if I tried anything else. Anyway, I ended up in a never ending "Repairing Windows..." cycle, maybe because Windows got interrupted during boot by a hard power cycle.
I could access the repair environment GUI but couldn't use any of the repair options. I tried them but they all complained that they were unable to do anything.
After following previous guides here and trying some commands in the recovery console -- the last one being chkdsk /r, which I terminated prematurely since I didn't see the point of doing that on my SSD -- I ended up booting to just a black screen with caret. Sometimes with a little mojibake (unreadable symbols) on the line above. This is where I am now, if we only look at the visual results of booting. I have done more troubleshooting described below...

I've made a Win 10 Pro 1903 install media on a 8 GB USB drive:

None of the automatic repair options work when booting from it (legacy Bios mode USB boot).
Sfc scans refuse to work and terminate immediately. No helpful error messages.
Can't restore registry backup -- all files in backup directory have size of 0.
Most commands can't identify the OS partition -- they say that there are 0 installed OSes.
Checkdisk finds no faults with the drive. The drive is a year old Samsung SSD and macOS boots fine from it. The Windows partition can be read fine both from recovery console and from macOS. MacOS NTFS drivers do not complain about the partition or the file system. I am fairly confident the hardware and file system are intact.
DISM command complains that the registry is damaged.
DISM command complains that the scratch directory size might be insufficient. I don't know what that means exactly. Is the X: RAM drive too small? I don't know...
DISM gives error 1009
Bootrec runs /fixmbr and /fixboot successfully, but /scanos returns 0 identified Windows installations.

I feel like I have tried everything I could find in previous threads about the same issue.

I tried to list everything here, but I'm sure I forgot something, in which case I will edit it in.

No hardware peripherals except for the 8 GB bootable USB drive.

Hi,

I ended up booting to just a black screen with caret.

- do you mean a hyphen or underscore? - a caret is ^

Perhaps your best hope is that your boot priority has somehow changed and your PC is trying to boot from another device. That seems something you've not checked, noting you've been quite thorough.

However, that's an outside possibility, I'd guess, given the other evidence.

Indicative of the system not finding a valid bootable medium, of course.

DISM command complains that the registry is damaged

- clearly signicant and would argue against trying to recover your Windows partition alone.

Can't restore registry backup -- all files in backup directory have size of 0.

I discovered MS disabled this feature around the end of 1709 -> 1803.

You can find articles about this now, cited on tenforums, where MS argues it saves space. Hmm.

I assume you haven't yet discovered the value of using disk imaging routinely- so frequently recommended on tenforums- e.g. Macrium Reflect (free/paid). If you had a disk image you could have restored that and be up and running, hopefully.

I think you're looking at doing a clean install.

Hello, thanks for the reply.

I meant it in the words of Wikipedia "Caret or insertion point, a blinking vertical bar indicating where typed text will be inserted when using a cursor (user interface)", but it's true that is not a vertical bar, but rather an underscore _.

Yes, it's not possible since it's a Macbook and I manually choose the windows partition at boot every time by holding the alt-key.

I'm assuming that by "Windows partition" you mean my Windows installation. Why shouldn't I try to recover it?

Yeah I heard about that on youtube, but I thought that was about externally stored backups made with Windows backup tools. I guess I've just never thought of backups stored on the same drive as useful...

Had it been my main OS where I store important stuff I would probably have something like that set up. I've always been generous with the idea that OSes are capable of repairing themselves and that I'm up to the task.

That's too bad, I was hoping to learn something new. I take it there's no sanity checker for the registry that spits out what's wrong with it? Thinking back, the DISM command did probably generate a log file that it helpfully placed on the RAM drive. Perhaps I'll run it again and take a look.

Sorry, yes, underscore (noted you showed it in initial post on rereading)

FWIW:

DISM command complains that the scratch directory size might be insufficient. I don't know what that means exactly.

The scratch directory size might be insufficient to perform this operation

You could try - and this works with a valid Windows partition:
a. image the partition
b. clean install Win 10
c. restore the imaged partition in place of the new Windows partition
d. reboot

You could try - and this works with a valid Windows partition:
a. image the partition
b. clean install Win 10
c. restore the imaged partition in place of the new Windows partition
d. reboot

I'm not sure what kind of image you're suggesting. A full partition image would of course just overwrite a clean install.

If you're talking about a more restrictive image, like a system image, then I'm not sure from where I would perform the imaging. The recovery console? If that's what you meant then I'll research it.

Would restoring from that image not restore the broken registry as well? As you can see I haven't had any experience with system images, so I'm not sure what's included or how fine-grained the restore process is.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi, exactly, if the registry IS damaged, you're facing a clean install.

Hence my caveat 'this works with a valid Windows partition'. It won't if the registry is damaged.

If you were getting a DISM indication about the registry that was, for whatever reason, incorrect, you would be in luck. Depends whether you feel an experiment is worthwhile.

More detail:
a. Create Macrium reflect boot medium
b. Boot PC using that.
c. Create a 'disk image' of just the Windows partition (yes, the nomenclature is mixed) - saved to external disk.
d. Clean install Windows on the original disk or anothe rdisk as you prefer.
e. Make sure that boots normally.
f. Ensure disk with image file is present and boot PC from MR medium
g. Restore the image of your Windows partition in place of the newly created Windows partition.
h. Remove MR bootable medium, reboot, automatic repair hopefully sorts things out, else Startup Repair from Win 10 install disk.

(I was hoping to save myself some typing..!)

Sorry to wear out your fingers! As long as we're on the same page I'll do the necessary research.

You seem to know your stuff, so I'll take your word for it that I should be prepared to do a clean reinstall. It's just the least interesting way to solve this kind of problem which meant I had to try for an alternative :)

Now let' see, how long was it until Win 7 stops receiving security updates...

Just a niggling thought- were you confident when you used DISM offline that you were accessing the correct drive letter? I would assume so.. just that if there was a chance of that the DISM results could be misleading.

I'm sure you're pretty unhappy with Win 10- I've had Win 10 on 1 PC from build 1511, continuously upgraded. Loads of programs installed- far more than the average user. Very few problems.. I avoided the 1803/1809 debacle.

ntahoeusntahoeu · 21 Sep 2019

I hope so -- I used the /Image:C:\ flag.

In the top of the log I did test run the /ScratchDir flag without /Image at first, which is a bit misleading, but here's the line with both:

2019-09-21 13:38:16, Info DISM DISM.EXE: Executing command line: DISM /ScratchDir:C:\scratch /Image:C:\ /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

The rest of the flags are inherited from the other suggestions on this site.

Yeah, you're right, but not because of this. When you're in the middle of immersing yourself in an old GOG game (the main reason I dual boot this machine) like Baldur's Gate, only to have a gigantic Windows Update popup (it runs in 800x600) place itself on top of the game and ruin the whole experience. At that point there's no longer any use running the game and, by extension, Windows 10, since after that I can't stop thinking about when I'll be interrupted next.

If I were fine with waiting 10 minutes on updates at boot while forgetting what I was supposed to do in Windows "real quick", or waiting 10 minutes on shutdown just to make sure the machine is off before cramming it into a bag, then Windows 10 would probably be endurable. Right now Windows 10 doesn't let users preserve their train of thought, which makes it a UX nightmare. I think it's interesting to follow its evolution, though I wouldn't want to rely on it in its current shape. On a single boot desktop computer it would be a better experience.

Win7 becomes a security hole in january and macOS is dropping support for 32-bit applications in 10.15. Not a good situation if you like old games sans popups. Maybe I'll just run Win 7 and lock it down. And not upgrade macOS from now on.

Your Windows partition isn't necessarily C: as seen from an offline command line.
(I'm no expert on DISM, I'm afraid).
Example:
How to Use DISM Offline Repair Windows 10?

Windows updates- Home- by default in 1903 you can pause updates for up to 35 days.
Active Hours - set that in settings to prevent restarts (but not downloads) for an 18 hr period.

You can take control using 1 of the several (related in some cases) 3rd party utilities.

See this thread:
Is there any way to control updates?
posts #3,4 e.g.

I have Pro: the worst interruption I get is notification of an update.
