Can I do a repair install booting from a UFD?

No.
But you can boot from the Windows InstallUSB to do startup repairs.

Some Macrium users say that the Macrium boot disk startup repairs are better than the Windows InstallUSB's.

Macrium Reflect fix boot problems didn't fix it.
I got a blue screen saying that I need to do a repair.
I'm thinking that it may be some other issue.
I've tried two image restores (dated April 09 and April 01) and that didn't fix it either.
I could trying going back to an earlier date, but I don't think an image restore is going to work.
If an image restore doesn't fix it, I'd expect a hardware issue, but I've tested the SSD and memory and have reset the CMOS.
The other odd thing is that Windows was running before I attempted the patch Tuesday Windows updates.

An In-Place Upgrade "compares" what is installed on the computer, with the Windows ISO image.
Then, it overwrites corrupted Windows files, with clean copies from the ISO image.
This is how it "repairs" Windows while allowing you to keep your programs and personal files.
Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade
Here is the short version of the In-place upgrade tutorial...
DISABLE non-Microsoft:
a) antivirus software
b) firewall software
c) drive encryption software
Make a full OS backup with a program like Macrium Reflect or AOMEI Backupper Standard
Making a backup is optional, but always a smart move.
If you had a backup from before this problem occurred, you wouldn't be reading this.

Go here and get the Media Creation Tool and save it to your desktop.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...load/windows10
RUN the Media Creation Tool and use it to: Create an ISO image... save IT to your desktop.
This will be the latest version of the ISO image.
The ISO must be created in the same language as you are using in Windows, to be able to keep your Programs and Files.
Right click the ISO image and choose: MOUNT
Open File Explorer and you will see a new drive letter. It will "look" like a DVD optical drive.
Double click the new drive letter to open it.
Find setup.exe and double click it to start the in-place upgrade.
Choose the Keep personal files and apps option.
After it's all done... to UNmount the ISO image, right click the new drive letter and choose: EJECT.
The ONLY thing you will lose is some of your personalizations.
Your drivers, programs and data will be intact.

Thanks for this. Reinstall Windows so rarely these days I couldn't remember how to do it when formatting the drive isn't allowed.
Over the last few days I've had the displeasure of having to fix my sister's laptop (a six year old Acer Aspire), where Windows first flat out refused to boot (after numerous failed updates), and then after restoring it to "last good" restore point showed significant corruption of the drive. The inital problems appear to have been caused by Avast - which came preinstalled on the machine - disagreeing with 22H2, but despite removing Avast with a fine toothed comb, it became rather obvious that the only way to get Windows working normally is to reinstall.

System is w10pro, 22H2, 19045.3324.
Can I use safely Media Creation Tool to download the latest ISO (just asking because MCT has older build) ??

I have done a in-place upgrade, which seems successful.
Everything runs much faster and smoothly.
Also the DISM commands and sfc /scannow are running considerably faster (although before the upgrade did not reveal any problems).
But this is already the second in-place upgrade within 3-4 days.
The first time also everything was ok, until I reinstalled all the latest Windows updates. And specifically those released the last 2-3 weeks.
Is there any shared experience on that, or some update that should be avoided for the time?Last edited by abax2000; 11 Aug 2023 at 09:10.
