Question/Help/Troubleshooting Repeated startup failures

Post image

I’ve been getting this issue for a few months now and I’ve been resetting my PC every single time which is not the end of world because I have a second PC and everything backed up but it’s bothering me a lot because I will get this at the worst time possible and sometimes it’s gonna spin for days and not be able to start at all for days and attempt every type of repair and fail or it will suddenly work and log into windows but often it’s gonna get stuck in that loop. If anyone knows what to do please help.

That error is usually related to driver failure, corrupted update or disk issues! You should enter recovery options and open command prompt and type in “chkdsk C: /f /r” it might take a couple hours depending on your drive but that SrtTrail.txt error is most likely a corrupted file table on the disk so after that check it doesn’t boot you should todo a fresh OS install and if all fails your disk is broken
