Question BCD corrupted, cannot repair in Advanced Recovery Mode ?

[Kyroix 74]

Hi, i recently did a Windows quality update and i got several pop ups after a reboot saying ‘We couldn’t complete the updates, undoing changes’. This kept coming up. But one time i booted up my pc and it did not start up, instead giving me the screen to the advanced repair mode. I did all the options in the troubleshoot section, nothing worked. I did the command prompt, and ran a couple commands including BCD. It appears my BCD is corrupted. So i did the BCD repair commands, but they didn’t work. So i was stuck.

I clicked "Continue to Windows", but didn’t go back to the same screen, instead the horrible ‘Your device/pc needs to be repaired’. And the 4 options to boot on the advanced recovery, BIOS, and 2 others i forgot. I tried pressing F1 which was the allocated button for booting into the Advanced recovery again, but it didn’t work instead yakking me back to the same screen.

So currently i am stuck on the repair screen, not able to do anything on it except use the button to go into BIOS, but i don’t think i can do anything in that to get into Windows. So i think, 99% my BCD being corrupted is what caused my Windows to not boot up. I need some help because Resetting the PC is my last resort. I hope this massive oarsgraph makes sense to you.

No sir. The drive will still be recognised in the PC even though there is no data.

Ok. So can you tell me how to clean reinstall when i can’t even boot to anything

Did you delete contents of your USB too?

No, it’s just stuck on a black screen with a weird glitched line

What commands did you use to delete partitions?

Delete partition override

Yeh but i deleted partitions inside of Disk 0. I thought that was what i had to do right?

Ye

If you made backup, DONT worry.

 

[Jacob 51]

Nah man why won’t it boot to my usb

the contents of the USB will be deleted too if you formatted it with CMD. Plug in the USB to another PC and make it bootable again.

Boot from windows installation media and install windows.

Boot from windows installation media and install windows.

I have booted from the media but it’s just stuck on a black screen with a weird white glitched line. Should i restart my pc and try again

Go into BIOS and choose first boot device
[UEFI] USB flash drive.

When i was in BIOS it didn’t have UEFI at the start of it

 

[SkyNetRising]

Check flash drive contents on some other pc.
I think you erased it too.

Actually it does say UEFI in front of it.

 

[Kyroix 74]

Should i go unplug it and check if the contents are still on there?

 

[SkyNetRising]

Then you should be able to boot from it and install windows.

It just keeps getting stuck on a black screen with a weird white glitchy line. Should i take it out and check it’s still got the contents?

 

[SkyNetRising]

Should i take it out and check it’s still got the contents?

Yes.

 

[Kyroix 74]

Yes.

Can i take it out while the pc is on?

You can turn off your pc. You'll have to reboot it anyway.

Ok so i’ve tried to boot to it and my screen has a weird blue screen glitch in it. Half black, half blue. Then my pc just turned off. Lemme try again.

U checked the contents?
Do you have the BIOS set to legacy or UEFI? The bootable drive is different for Legacy and UEFI.
Also, turn off secure boot.

Contents are still in.
Bios is set to UEFI.
I don’t even have an option for secure boot in my bios. This has worked before btw.
