- Restart your laptop.
- As it boots, press the F8 or F12 key repeatedly (depending on Dell model) to access the boot menu or recovery options.
- Choose "Troubleshoot" > "Advanced options" > "Startup Repair".
- Follow the prompts to let Windows attempt automatic repair.
Power on the laptop and force shutdown (hold the power button) as soon as Windows starts to load.
