How does Windows boot to advanced recovery option e.g. command prompt?
Hi,I need to determine which area to look at. I.e. exactly how does Windows configure itself to restart to the chosen advanced recovery option?
I'd be happy to compare the results of running any command with that of a correctly functioning system.
Symptoms
None of my advanced recovery options (restart to Safe Mode, command prompt, startup repair, system restore) have worked since upgrading to the Creator's build. They were ok in the Anniversary build. The upgrade went smoothly.
After trying various repairs, which made things worse rather than better, I've got back to where I was.
My PC boots normally.
When my PC restarts to Safe Mode, I see my PC logo and 'Please wait'.
When it restarts to other options, I just see my PC logo, nothing more. It just hangs.
There's no error message nor easily defined symptom to search for that I can think of.
(See this and particularly my last post if interested - the end result is I'm back where I started, having learnt a bit!)
