2. Click the Power button, and hold down the Shift key while clicking Restart.
3. Your system will restart and boot into the Advanced Startup menu.

Method 3: If Windows Fails to Boot

Step 3: Access Advanced Options

Step 5: Review Repair Results

2. If Startup Repair was able to resolve the issue, your PC will boot normally. If the problem persists, you will be provided with additional troubleshooting options.

Step 6: Additional Troubleshooting (If Necessary)

If Startup Repair cannot fix the problem, you can try other recovery options:

- System Restore: Roll back your system to an earlier restore point.
- Uninstall Updates: Remove recent updates that may be causing the problem.
