Windows 10 x64 repair loop

yctn · 07 Jul 2018

Hello. i have a windows 10 x64 machine here. and it currently just loops. it shows automatic repair and trying to restore previous version real quickly and then it reboot again. i tryed booting the win10 iso and repair from there. it tells me i can find the repair log in this location "$windows.~bt/NewOs/system32/logfiles/srt/srttrail.txt" but i tryed looking in that location but in the $windows.~bt there is no NewOs folder. so i cant find this log. i also tryed to check C:\windows\system32\Logfiles\Srt\srtTrail.txt but that file has no new records. i already rebuild mbr etc how should i proceed from here?

Try Macrium Reflect's Fix Windows Boot Problems capability.

Download KYHI's Windows 10 Recovery Tools - Bootable Rescue Disk and burn it to a flash drive. Boot it and run Macrium Reflect. Follow above directions to see if it will fix the Windows boot problem. Has done so for me on numerous Windows 10 systems.

Hi,

it didnt realy help. i think it broke more then it repaired.
first it continued to try to boot windows but it was stuck in a repair loop.
now it immediately comes with an error code 0xc000000f.

also macrium reflect did not detect an windows install so i added one Fix Windows boot problems -> Add(cause it didnt find anything. but i think that broke more then it repaired)

how should i continue now?
i think i first need to get it to boot to windows again correctly. once i have that. i can try to fix windows itself

I would use KYHI's rescue ISO to create a flash drive then boot that. Open a command prompt and run, in sequence:

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
SFC /scannow

If any errors, run them up to 3 times until no errors are found. Then try Macrium again, see if finds the WIndows 10 boot entry. If yes, go ahead and have it fix it.

It could also be an error lock up. Try also doing a power drain and then try again. It happened to me long time ago.

If i do that. then dism and sfc is run on the windows pe that i booted from the flash drive. shoudent i point it somehow to the disk?

Right, forgot about that. use the following if your Win 10 drive is B (where the \Windows directory resides). If not, use what ever letter that is instead of CB.

Dism /Image:C:\ /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
Dism /Image:C:\ /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
SFC /scannow /Offwindir=C:\Windows /Offbootdir=C:\
