Hi, I was hoping I could get some help or advice.

After running fine yesterday, I booted my PC from PC Specialist up today for it to start up in repair mode. After that, it came up with the Windows error message "Your PC did not start correctly."
I have tried everything I can think of and nothing seems to work. I tried restarting, using Windows repair, I have tried to reset the PC back to factory settings but on doing this I get the same error of 'your PC did not start correctly' so I can't reset it.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance :)

If you create a bootable windows usb from here (change to windows 10 if still on 10)


Boot from that and run startup repair from that, you won't be able to run startup repair from your installation.

This is the error message it comes up with when I have used the windows USB. It's the same error message when I try to do it without it.

I think so, I press F2 when my PC booted up, selected the USB from the UEFI BIOS Utility screen and selected repair your computer in the windows setup screen.

I somehow managed to do a system reset to an earlier point (yesterday, before the windows update). It's all sorted now.
It's always windows updates that cause havoc to my PC!

Ah, sorry, didn't see your last post.
Well done for resurrecting it

Just as a pointer, you'd HUGELY benefit from a primary NVME SSD on that build, an HDD really is far too slow by todays standards. For some ballpark, an HDD will top out at around 120mbs, a Gen 4 NVME will go to around 7000mbs.

Thank you, I have felt like my gaming PC could be faster so I will definitely check that out! :)

If Windows updates cause you problems then it's possible (even likely) that your system is not in a fully stable state. One common cause of Windows updates failing is non-compliant drivers, such as drivers designed for an earlier version of Windows, or drivers installed by driver search and install tools, like DriverEasy and the like.

I would be concerned if Windows updates 'cause havoc' on more than one isolated occasion that other users have also experienced (do a Web search). If Windows updates are a regular problem for you then it's your system that's at fault, not the updates.

Thank you, please could you provide info on how to check if I have a non-compliant driver and what I would need to do to fix/change it?
