    Windows Diagnostic Startup

    Hey guys, I need some suggestions.

    I was having trouble with windows explorer crashing so I decided to run windows diagnostic startup mode from msconfig. Once my pc restarted I was not able to log onto my account. All I got was a screensaver with the time and my only option were the normal power options (restart, shutdown). I’m running windows 10.

    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    I would first like you to try a System Restore from the recovery console. Choose a point well before the issue. You can get there by following the instructions below. If you are unable to complete a system restore then go ahead and get me the logs from FRST so that I can see what is going on with your machine.

    [ul]
    [li]On a clean machine, please download FRST 64bit or FRST 32 bit and save it to a flash drive. Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. Plug the flashdrive into the infected PC.[/li][li]If you are using Windows 8 consult How to use the Windows 8 System Recovery Environment Command Prompt to enter System Recovery Command prompt. If you are using Vista or Windows 7 enter System Recovery Options. To enter System Recovery Options from the Advanced Boot Options:[/li]
    • [li]Restart the computer.[/li][li]As soon as the BIOS is loaded begin tapping the F8 key until Advanced Boot Options appears.[/li][li]Use the arrow keys to select the Repair your computer menu item.[/li][li]Select US as the keyboard language settings, and then click Next.[/li][li]Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.[/li][li]Select your user account an click Next.[/li][/ul]
      Note: In case you can not enter System Recovery Options by using F8 method, you can use Windows installation disc, or make a repair disc. Any Windows installation disc or a repair disc made on another computer can be used. To make a repair disk on Windows 7 consult: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...sc-create.html To enter System Recovery Options by using Windows installation disc:

      [ul]
      [li]Insert the installation disc.[/li][li]Restart your computer.[/li][li]If prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc. If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or DVD, check your BIOS settings.[/li][li]Click Repair your computer.[/li][li]Select US as the keyboard language settings, and then click Next.[/li][li]Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.[/li][li]Select your user account and click Next.[/li][/ul]
      On the System Recovery Options menu you will get the following options: Startup Repair System Restore Windows Complete PC Restore Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool Command Prompt Select Command Prompt Once in the Command Prompt:

      [ul]
      [li]In the command window type in notepad and press Enter.[/li][li]The notepad opens. Under File menu select Open.[/li][li]Select β€œComputer” and find your flash drive letter and close the notepad.[/li][li]In the command window type e:\frst (for x64 bit version type e:\frst64) and press Enter Note: Replace letter e with the drive letter of your flash drive.[/li][li]The tool will start to run.[/li][li]When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.[/li][li]Press Scan button.[/li][li]It will make a log (FRST.txt) on the flash drive. Please copy and paste it to your reply.[/li][/ul]
