Thanks to how Microsoft designed Windows 10, a reboot loop can be resolved relatively quickly.
What Is an Infinite Boot Loop?
Windows 10 isn’t particularly prone to an endless boot loop, but it isn’t unheard of.
This is what’s meant by Windows being caught up in an infinite loop of booting and crashing.
The error occurs because of a problem with the Windows system registry.
Unfortunately, without booting into Windows, the registry cannot be fixed, leaving the operating system inaccessible.
To overcome this problem, you could use one of the many Windows 10 recovery options.
What Causes a Windows 10 Boot Loop?
A Windows 10 reboot loop, sometimes also called abootloopinterchangeably, can be frustrating to deal with.
But what causes it?
This is a problem that has plagued Windows for years.
Some manual interaction may be requireduse the Automatic Repair option here and follow the steps.
However, if this hasn’t happened within 15 minutes, it’s probably not going to.
That means it’s time to take matters into your hands.
Because in some cases, these devices might be responsible for a bad startup.
The computer will shut down.
Now, wait for approximately 30 seconds and press the power button once again to boot up your PC.
It should start normally.
When given the choice, instead of selecting Windows 10, chooseChange defaults or choose other options.
Then follow the steps in the method to accesssafe mode.
So, the first option is probably the quickest.
Windows 10 users should have a recovery partition on their PC’s hard disk drive.
If not, a USB or DVD recovery drive can be made bydownloading the Windows 10 installation media.
Note that this will need to be created with a different computer.
With Windows 10 stuck in the reboot loop, all you gotta do is insert the installation media.
pick the recovery partition as the primary rig, then restart the computer.
See our guide tocreating Windows 10 installation mediafor more details.
Both methods should guide you through the Automatic Repair tool or give you access to the Advanced options screen.
This could be anything from uninstalling drivers to uninstalling Windows Updates in the Command Prompt.
Here, delete all the directory contents.
(If you’re free to only get into the Advanced options screen, use the Command Prompt.
This is also an option in Safe Mode.)
When you restart Windows 10, it should boot as normal.
Did an App or Game Cause a Boot Loop in Windows 10?
Perhaps it was a game you recently installed.
Either way, this can be resolved by uninstalling the software.
Simply find the software from the Start menu,right-clickon it, and chooseUninstall.
When you restart Windows 10, the boot loop problem should be fixed.
you might then restart Windows 10.
If not, you might skip this section.
System Restore works by taking your setup files back to a state when it was working fine.
To get started, typeCreate a restore pointin the Start menu search bar and select theBest match.
SelectSystem Restorefrom theSystem Protectiontab.
Select a specific restore point and click onNextto restore your earlier configs.
