  1. Enter the following command to rebuild the boot configuration data (BCD): ebootrec /rebuildbcd
  2. Next, enter the following commands to fix the master boot record (MBR) and boot sector: bootrec /fixmbr bootrec /fixboot
  3. If you receive an “Access Denied” error, don’t worry; this is common. Continue with the next command.

Step 3: Run Disk Check to Resolve Issues

  1. The final command will check for disk errors and attempt to fix them: chkdsk C: /f /r
  2. Ensure you replace “C:” with the drive letter where your Windows is installed if it’s on a different drive. This command will take some time to complete, depending on your system.

Step 4: Disable Early Launch Anti-Malware Protection

If the problem persists, you can try disabling early launch anti-malware protection:

  1. Go to Advanced Options > Startup Settings > Restart.
  2. When prompted, press the number 8 key to disable early launch anti-malware protection.
  3. Your system will restart. Check if the problem is resolved.

Step 5: Disable Automatic Restart After Failure

If the error keeps recurring, you might need to disable the automatic restart option to diagnose the issue:

  1. Return to Startup Settings.
  2. Choose the number 9 option, which disables automatic restart after failure.

Step 6: Boot Into Safe Mode

If none of the above methods work, try booting into Safe Mode:

  1. In the Startup Settings menu, press the number 4 key to enable Safe Mode.
  2. Once in Safe Mode, log in and open the Control Panel > Programs and Features.
  3. Look for any recently installed software that may be causing the issue. If you suspect a faulty application, uninstall it.
  4. Additionally, click View Installed Updates and uninstall any recent Windows updates that could be causing the problem.

Step 7: Perform a System Restore

If your system was working fine earlier and stopped after recent changes, performing a System Restore might resolve the issue:

  1. Go to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > System Restore.
