Hi, I built my own computer and recently I noticed that when I booted my pc into windows it would take forever to load up apps such as Discord, ICUE, steam and other things like that. So I went into the bios and change the boot of windows to a different drive, now I cant even get back into my pc. It freezes either on the windows load up icon or when I try a different drive, it says preparing automatic repair. HELP ME! I am pretty confident I don’t have any malware as well because I use a decent antivirus and am quite cautious about browsing the web and such.

The MediaCreation tool is what you use to 'create' a Windows 10 'media' to install the OS with.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

You download the small exe, run that, and it will build the USB for you to install with.


You can't just "change the boot of windows to a different drive"...this other drive has nothing to boot from.

Sounds like you need to do a complete reinstall of the OS and everything else.
Disconnect ALL drives except the one you want the OS on.
Then, with the USB you created with the MediaCreation tool above, install the OS on this drive.

Nope doesn’t work, believe I have some corrupted files, after trying a lot of restarting and turning off and on again I got to the recovery page, tried everything, nothing worked. Believe I have some seriously corrupted files in the OS.

I have tried booting using the windows media tool thing from usb on my NVMe SSD and my HDD but that didn’t work, the usb was recognised in the bios but when I tried to boot it it didn’t recognise the media tool on the drive - do I need to do anything with the windows media tool before I plug it into the pc, like run the program on another computer or something, idk much about it I’m hoping you do because I’m stressing! Got any input?
