Windows users generally use the “Startup Repair” functionality of Windows when their computer fails to boot properly.

Let us look at various methods to resolve this error.

1. Restart your PC and press F8 when the Windows logo appears.

2. The Advanced Boot Options window will appear. Here, select Repair your Computer.

3. Click Command prompt from the available options.

4. Next, enter the below command:

If the above-listed steps don’t work, then it is recommended to restore your PC to an earlier time. This is known as System Restore where your PC reverts to a previous time period. This means that you would lose all data and applications created and downloaded after that period.

This is why we recommend to recover your data first with an efficient data recovery software such as Stellar Data Recovery Professional, which can recover data from any loss scenario.

As your PC is unable to boot, for restoring data, you would need to use a bootable data recovery media such as a USB stick. Please note that the USB storage must be at least 1GB.
