Hi all,
I am getting very frustrated with this issue. This is probably the fifth time this has happened to me on this PC.
When I restart, windows goes through the motions, but then after the windows logo goes away, the monitor goes to no signal for a moment, and then displays "preparing to configure windows updates, please do mot turn off your computer". After a few seconds, it restarts.
I usually fixed this issue by following the procedure to copy the regback contents to the config, but this method failed me this time. Now, I cannot boot into safe mode(same issue), last known good configuration does nothing, repair your computer finds nothing (says boot status indicates that the OS booted successfully), restoring to an earlier point does nothing. I should mention that my earlier restore points apparently got damaged or deleted during recovery, so I am left with just one. Also, sfc scannow found a file and repaired it once, but then refused to run on consequent tries (there is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete. Restart windows and run sfc scannow again, doesent work). Running sfc with the offbootdir and offwindir parameters results in the same error.
I should note that i have access to the system DVD if i need it to perform any tasks.
I am at the end of my expertise and I need to use my computer for very important projects. Any help would be vastly appreciated. Thanks.
