How to fix a boot loop on Win 10

Yeah. You read that right. You have been using the all new features on Win 10 and if you are still on the initial developed Win 10 editions it should be getting the necessary upgrades and there could be a boot loop while upgrading and updating the Win 10. Here, we come with an ultimate solution to handle such embarrassing situations. Handle the above thing like we say:

  1. Just get into your boot menu. In order to get into the boot menu of your PC use the regular provided key if it is there on your PC. If not then the F10 or F12 key would work for you. Insert the  Win 10 disk or the boot media with you into your PC.
  2. Now get into the boot device selection menu. Select the appropriate boot media containing the OS. Soon after selection the boot up would start.
  3. After the initialization of OS booting it would ask for the language and region setup. There would be the button to click saying Repair your computer.
  • Select the sub menus and then go to the provided page. Either choose and proceed through the Reset this PC option which would completely reset the PC according to the edition you have on your boot media.
  • Or select the option of start up repair which would repair the starting up of your PC. Remember to fully shutdown the PC in order not to get an error in repairing state.
  • Select the Command Prompt option to repair through the commands and you can refer to the post we previously posted on this blog how to fix MBR.

  • Note: Be cautious enough while handling the boot menu sections as it could land you up in getting the customer support.  You should not be changing any data on the boot menu unless you really know  how to and why to.Be sure to keep the data backup when ever possible.

Or you can simply download Rufus 1.9 for the purpose. We would suggest you to take a keen observation on the apps you download as they could be fake or vulnerable resulting unavoidable bitter  situation to taste.
