Windows 8 includes a built-in recovery feature called Automatic Repair that can diagnose and fix common problems preventing Windows from starting properly. This tool is designed to automatically detect and resolve issues with missing or corrupted system files, drivers, boot configuration settings, registry entries, partition tables, and even problematic Windows updates.
If your Windows 8 computer is experiencing startup problems, you can access the Automatic Repair tool through the Windows Recovery Environment. Here’s how to use it:
1. Go to the Windows 8 Start Screen and type “Advanced”.
2. When the search results appear, click on the “Settings” category.
3. Click on the option labeled “Advanced startup options” to go to the General PC Settings screen.
4. Scroll down to the bottom until you see an option labeled “Advanced startup”. Click on the “Restart now” button to restart your computer and enter the Advanced Startup options menu.
1. In the Advanced Startup options menu, click on the “Troubleshoot” button.
2. Then click on the “Advanced options” button.
3. When the advanced options screen opens, click on the “Automatic Repair” option.
4. Your computer will now reboot and you will be shown a screen where Windows states it is preparing Automatic Repair.
5. When it is done, you will be shown a screen where you need to select an Administrator account to log in with. If your account has a password, enter it and click on the “Continue” button to proceed with the automatic repair.
Automatic Repair will now start and attempt to diagnose and fix any problems with your computer’s startup. The process can take some time, and your computer may reboot during this period, which is normal.
Once the automatic repair process has completed, it will inform you if it was able to fix anything. If the repair was unsuccessful and your computer is still unable to start up, you can try using other recovery tools available in the Advanced Startup options menu, such as System Restore, Command Prompt, Startup Settings, or System Image Recovery.
