Alternatively, you can access Advanced options via Settings app (Windows key + I) and then navigate to Update & security - Recovery. At this moment an Advanced Startup screen followed by Restart now option should appear on the screen. Just click it.

If your computer is having issues, it could very well be a hardware issue. If your hard-drive, motherboard or any vital component to your machine is physically damaged, no amount troubleshooting tools will be able to fix it. All hard drives will fail in time. This tutorial will fix common software-related issues. Don't expect it to fix every imaginable reason that Windows 10 can't start up.

i had a power cut whilst my pc was restarting. when I turn on my pc, the windows logo appears and it says preparing repair, then diagnosing your pc. then it brings me to the menu that has all the options like restarting n resetting n stuff, but none of them work? is the only way to fix it to reset the whole pc because there is valuable stuff that I want to keep...

Thank you very much. It was very nerve racking to not have the computer starting up and then to think I would click on next and start installing Windows 10 on top of my old system! But yes, just one more click and then can go to the repair options. Thank you so much :) Yosarin QLD, Australia

It doesn't do anything. Right after I do the auto-matic repairs, it says it failed and it brings me right back where I started. When I try to load into windows, it shows the hp symbol, loads, then the screen turns black. Can somebody help me?

After installing a GeForce driver yesterday my PC is at a blue screen after the logo. Won't do anything else. I don't have anything on a disk. Would I just try option 2 (Hard Drive) at the start and still get to the help screens? I figured if I can just get Windows 10 started in Safe Mode I'd be able to do a restore.

Every time I start up my laptop it says there was a problem shutting down and needs to restart. I shut down properly so it isnt something I have done wrong. This all started with the windows 10 upgrade. *Note* I didnt want the windows 10 upgrade and always said no when prompted. I did it on its own!

When this first happened i was casually playing music and listening to it whilst playing a game and it froze so i when i hard rebooted it the thinf wouldnt boot back up for anything. its been like this for 1 month almost and im getting very frustrated and i got too frustrated to the point where i was crying and getting angry so out of anger i threw a pencil at my pc but the problem really might be for me at least a charger problem bc it was working when i first got it and then it didnt wanna charge it anymore so that may the problem. but even further when i use ac power mode up it still doesnt boot up so i reallly need help. and when i finally got an error message it read We have found a failing component in your pc please contact dell. so yea i think its the hard drive but it never reaches windows i just get a black screen after "Preparing Automatic Repair"
