I am getting windows insider builds and today windows won't load

It just keeps restarting. I tried system restore. System refresh. Reset startup repair everything I could it says cannot complete. I don't want to reinstall Windows what do I do?

      insider version not going to work as fall is now released and the old version will not activate

      so get the fall version and get rid of insider as it will not work

  • sorry guys but you will have to do a reinstall as this problems is caused by the failure in boot alignment

    when w10 1709 installs it has a new ID for the boot sector and if this for some reason doesn't install correctly you problem will happen this sector problem I have found before but every time I contact MS to do something about it I get a null report back from them I will see if I can do anything to see if I can build a solution

    it can be caused by dodgy software sometimes or if your systems was infected

    I am having the same exact issue on multiple devices. On startup I see the logo, the loading circle is swirling and then stops before the computer restarts. Automatic repair kicks in and the circle swirls, it stops and the computer restarts and I’m back to logo then crash. It just does this over and over. It happens on my Surface Pro 4 and Surface Studio. No changes are made but on one unlucky restart it just happens forcing me to reinstall Windows since all startup repair and advanced troubleshooting won’t work. Before the Surface Studio crashed I created a recovery drive so I’m hoping I can recover with that instead of reinstalling everything.
  • I had a similar experience. After trying absolutely everything including SFC, Bootrec, Startup Repair, System Restore I finally gave up and reinstalled Windows. Then I figured I would try to replicate the issue and was not successful.
