Hi
Newbie here.
I don’t have a question for the community, but maybe have a bit of advice which I hope will help some who are experiencing the continuous Windows BSOD reboot loop.
I have tried and failed many times to solve this issue for so many unfortunates. Googled the issues. Tried command prompts SFC, BOOTREC, CHKDSK etc. None worked.
I tried a trick tonight on a Windows 10 Pro PC which I used to use on Windows XP/Windows 2000 Server/Windows 2003 Server and many other Windows versions.
Basically I booted up with a Windows 10 Pro DVD and went to Troubleshooting, Command Prompt.
Seeing that the Command Prompt started at drive X:, I seen that the Windows drive is on drive D:
From there, i looked around and noticed that Windows 10 stores the registry files in “D:\Windows\System32\config”. Looking further I noticed that a previous backup of the registry files is kept in “D:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack”.
So from the Command Prompt, I typed:
Copy d:\windows\system32\config\*.* d:\windows\system32\config\*.bak
This copies all live registry files to the same files with a “.bkp” extension.
Then also from the Command Prompt, I typed:
Copy d:\windows\system32\config\regback\*.* d:\windows\system32\config /Y
This copies the backup of the registry files on top of the live registry files.
After this, I rebooted the computer and it started up normally.
I did this as a last resort after trying everything else I could think of. I was at the point of starting again and formatting the PC.
I don’t suggest this will work for every BSOD situation, and I definitely will not recommend this unless every other option has been tried and you are at the point of starting again and formatting your PC.
Also, I haven’t tried this when booting from the PC instead of a Windows DVD and choosing the Troubleshooting, Command Prompt.
