Windows Stuck in a boot loop after an update

Configurare noua (How To)

Situatie

After a Windows Update (especially a Feature Update), your system restarts, gets to the login or loading screen, then restarts again — repeatedly.

Or the screen goes black after the Windows logo.

Solutie

Step 1: Enter Recovery Mode (Manually)

Force shutdown 3 times in a row during boot (hold power button during Windows logo).

After the 3rd time, Windows should enter Recovery Environment (WinRE).

Step 2: Use “Startup Repair”

  • In Recovery Menu:

    • Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Repair

  • Select your account, enter password if prompted.

  • Windows will attempt to fix boot-related problems.

Step 3: Uninstall Recent Updates

Still stuck?

  • Go to:

    • Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Uninstall Updates

  • Choose Uninstall latest quality update or feature update.

This is especially helpful if the update caused the boot loop.

Step 4: Use Safe Mode

  • Go to:

    • Advanced Options > Startup Settings > Restart

  • Press 4 for Safe Mode or 5 for Safe Mode with Networking.

If it boots:

  • Use Win + R, type:
    appwiz.cpl → uninstall any software you suspect caused the issue (drivers, antivirus, etc.)

  • Use System Restore if enabled:
    rstrui → pick a date before the issue started.

Step 5: Rebuild Boot Configuration

If it’s truly corrupted, open Command Prompt from the Recovery Menu:

bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /scanos
bootrec /rebuildbcd

If /fixboot gives access denied, run:

bootsect /nt60 SYS /mb
