The command line chkdsk tool can be used to check and sometimes repair your drives for file system corruption.

Sometimes, your windows got corrupted in a really bad condition that Startup repair cannot fix it, or some files need to be replaced because of some minor fault in your previously installed Windows. If the problem is too severe that all the above-mentioned method cannot solve the problem, you can try to perform a system restore.

System restore can always be a simple solution to fix for this issue. Choose System Restore from System Recovery Option, follow the instruction and choose the appropriate point.

The precondition is you have enabled the System Restore on your computer or you have created a system backup. The only limitation is you cannot restore system to a dissimilar computer. Here is a third party software — AOMEI Backupper Standard , allowing you to restore system to the previous state even you cannot boot your computer.

Suppose you have already created a system backup. If not, please download this software and create one ahead of time. Click Restore and follow the instructions. It only takes you a few clicks.

Credly Partnership. I thought all the problems would be solved, but no! The HP has always been in the startup repair loop and I cannot open anything using the F keys, or even cancel the startup repair process. Can anyone help me with fixing the Startup Repair Windows 7 loop after the update? Any help will be appreciated. Many users will choose "Startup Repair" when the Windows fails to start.

But why it did not work and went into the Startup Repair loop? Generally speaking, there are 2 main causes. If the boot sector is infected by viruses and other malware, the bootloader and booting chain will get damaged. And the virus may then prevent Startup Repair from either running or implementing its repair normally.

So the infinite loop of Startup Repair occurs. If any improper shutdown, sudden power failure, or a blue screen of death happens when you are writing to the boot partition, there is also a chance that your system is unable to boot and infinitely cycle into the Startup Repair. But that will require a lot of time. So here we share you with the following methods to solve the Windows 7 Startup Repair loop instead of a fresh reinstallation. If your Windows 7 is stuck into an infinite Startup Repair loop after an update, you can try to roll back the Windows 7 update in the Safe Mode since the Windows cannot boot as normal.

Access the Safe Mode by pressing the F8 key while the system is booting up.
