Startup repair cannot repair your pc , the cause is System OS booted successfully
Hi, Yesterday, My pc has not started to the windows. When I tried repeatedly, the Pc booted and automatic repairs screen was shown. Diagnosing Your Pc.. Attempting repairs and all of a sudden, I got the alert, that Startup repair cannot repair your pc message and asked me to try troubleshoot. I just selected ,continue and the PC booted to windows. I want to know, what went wrong and so, I tried to look at the log. I came across the tutorial that dealt with the matter in this forum.
I Just selected the command prompt in the troubleshoot and then type notepad to execute notepad.exe. at x: drive. I went to the System assigned drive E: for my pc and browsed to the logfiles folder and selected the srt trail text log file. The log has words to the effect of root cause found and the cause turns out to be that my system OS booted successfully. I am clueless about what went wrong then.
If the system has booted successfully, then why it prompted diagnosing the pc,., attempting repairs have been shown and then list the root cause as OS boot successfully is not known. If the issue is the OS booted successfully, It should have the startup repair done successfully, I could not find any other logs elsewhere.
Run System File Checker (SFC). The system file checker can repair corrupted system files.
- Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
- Type sfc /scannow and press Enter.
- Wait for the process to complete and restart your computer.
This can happen due to various reasons, such as a temporary disk error, corrupted boot files that were later resolved, or an SSD/HDD issue that corrected itself momentarily.If this happens frequently, it could indicate an underlying issue with your SSD or system files.
Failing hardware components or connection issues (e.g., with your hard drive or SSD) can sometimes cause transient issues that Windows tries to resolve.
