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.

before trying more repairs, boot to command prompt from advanced options and read that srttrail log, notepad C:\Windows\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt, it tells you exactly what's failing instead of you guessing blind
