How To Repair and Restore Windows 10

Perhaps Windows 10 won't start. Or maybe it boots, but crashes a lot. In either case, you need to
fix the problem before you can use your laptop. If your screen is rotated, don't even worry about
that because we have a fix for that. Otherwise, here are a few ways to repair Windows 10.

Method 1: Use Windows Startup Repair


If Windows 10 won't even boot up and take you to the login screen or the desktop, your first step
should be to use Startup Repair. Here's how:

1. Navigate to the Windows 10 Advanced Startup Options menu. There are many ways to get
to Windows 10 Advanced Startup Options. On many laptops, hitting F11 as soon as you power
on will get you there. Booting off an install disk and hitting Next then Repair will do the job too.

Once your computer has booted, you'll want to select Troubleshoot


And then you'll need to click Advanced options.

2. Click Startup Repair.


Windows will take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes to attempt to fix the problem.
It may not be able to. If you don't actually have a startup problem, it will also say it can't fix the
problem.
Method 2: Use Windows Restore
1. Complete step 1 from the previous method to get to Windows 10's Advanced Startup
Options menu.

2. Click System Restore.

The computer will reboot.


3. Select your username.

4. Enter your password.

5. Select a restore point from the menu and follow the prompts. If you have no restore points,
you can't use this method.
Method 3: Perform a Disk Scan
Your Windows 10 problems may stem from a corrupt file. If you can boot into the operating
system -- even if you have to boot into safe mode -- you should perform a file scan to check for
problems.

1. Type "cmd" into the main search box.

2. Right click on Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator.


3. Type sfc /scannow at command prompt and hit Enter.

The scan will take a while and should fix any corrupted files it finds.
