How To Fix Windows Installation Errors From Startup Repair

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to fix Windows installation errors from the startup repair:

Method 1: Check if the issue is software-related

• Press and hold down the Windows key + R, then type msconfig in the Run dialog box.

• In the Startup tab, look for any suspicious or unfamiliar programs that may be running automatically at startup. Click on each program to see if it’s enabled.

• If you find a program you don’t recognize, right-click on it and select Disable to disable it.

• Try closing all other unnecessary programs and logging out of Windows and back in again.

• Then try restarting your computer.

Method 2: Boot in Safe Mode

• Restart your computer and immediately hold down the Shift key while powering on. This will boot your computer in Safe Mode.

• If you can log in to Windows, then you should see a login screen.

• To disable any recently installed programs that might be causing issues, select the program from the list of available options (usually it will be listed as “Windows Defender or other anti-virus software”) and click Disable.

• Once you’re back in Safe Mode, try to start Windows again.

Method 3: Run the System File Checker (SFC)

• Go to the Start menu and type sfc /scannow in the search bar.

• Follow the prompts to run the System File Checker tool.

• If there are any issues found, you’ll be prompted to either repair or replace files on your system.

• Choose Repair if necessary.

Method 4: Update and reinstall Windows

• Ensure that your computer’s operating system is up-to-date by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.

• If an update is available, follow the prompts to install it.

• After the update is complete, restart your computer.

• You may need to restart again after installing Windows.

Method 5: Reset Windows

• Go to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery (this option might be hidden in a different location).

• Click Get started with automatic repair or click on Troubleshoot and then select System Protection.

• If you have an issue, click Get started, and follow the prompts.

If none of these methods resolve the issue, it’s likely that there is a hardware-related problem. In this case:

• If your computer is still under warranty or has no data on the hard drive, contact the manufacturer for support.

• If you’ve tried all of the above steps and are still having issues, consider seeking help from Microsoft Support or a professional technician.

Additional tips:

• Regularly update Windows and keep your operating system and software up-to-date to prevent issues.

• Use antivirus software to protect against malware.

• Consider running a disk check (chkdsk) using the command line: chkdsk C:

Remember to always back up your important files regularly to prevent data loss in case of an error.
