Last night I turned off the sleep mode and let the computer run all night and this happens to me today

dusky talon Mar 3, 2024, 2:07 AM

#

Likely just corrupt, I'd reinstall as was previously suggested

#

the installation media does have a repair function that may be worth a try but worst case scenario, reinstall

slender oar Mar 3, 2024, 2:08 AM

#

Reinstall window?

dusky talon Mar 3, 2024, 2:08 AM

#

Yes, reinstall windows.
there are quite a few guides on the full process online, this server wiki has one linked below.

Alternatively, a member of this community also made a guide on how to do it, both discuss the same process, just written by different people

#

Will this lose all my data

dusky talon Mar 3, 2024, 2:10 AM

#

a clean install will wipe the drive that the operating system is installed on

#

You should always have a backup of irreplaceable files for this exact reason

slender oar Mar 3, 2024, 2:15 AM

#

But do you know why this happen

dusky talon Mar 3, 2024, 2:16 AM

#

as i said, corruption

slender oar Mar 3, 2024, 2:20 AM

#

So there isn’t any solution than reinstall?

dusky talon Mar 3, 2024, 2:21 AM

#

as i said, you can attempt to repair it

slender oar Mar 3, 2024, 2:22 AM

#

How can

dusky talon Mar 3, 2024, 2:23 AM

#

using an installation media as previously mentioned

#

i also provided the guide on how to create an installation media

slender oar Mar 3, 2024, 2:32 AM

#

Wait does this will clean all my data like reinstalling?

dusky talon Mar 3, 2024, 2:33 AM

#

the repair feature does not, no

slender oar Mar 3, 2024, 2:35 AM

#

So I need to go to another computer to do this right?

dusky talon Mar 3, 2024, 2:35 AM

#

Yes

slender oar Mar 3, 2024, 2:37 AM

#

What does it mean?

#

I try sth and see this

dusky talon Mar 3, 2024, 2:40 AM

#

It clearly states that there is an issue with your battery

slender oar Mar 3, 2024, 2:40 AM

#

Does that make me cannot run window?

dusky talon Mar 3, 2024, 2:42 AM

#

No, it simply means that it likely cannot run off of battery power anymore
afterall, batteries are consumables, they do need to be replaced eventually

#

It should still work perfectly fine when plugged in

slender oar Mar 3, 2024, 2:46 AM

#

Can I try to fix through dell online

#

I mean the diagnosis online

dusky talon Mar 3, 2024, 2:46 AM

#

No.

slender oar Mar 3, 2024, 2:48 AM

#

Ah and there is one problem

#

I try pressing f8 to enter troubleshoot system but cannot

dusky talon Mar 3, 2024, 2:51 AM

#

I'm not familiar enough with your specific dell UEFI to assist with that however it is likely unrelated to your windows boot issue

slender oar Mar 3, 2024, 2:57 AM

#

dusky talon i also provided the guide on [how to create an installation media](<https://msft...

When install this to an USB

#

Do I need a boot usb?

dusky talon Mar 3, 2024, 2:57 AM

#

You need to boot into the USB you create the installation media on, yes

slender oar Mar 3, 2024, 3:12 AM

#

Can I use Dell installation disk instead?

dusky talon Mar 3, 2024, 3:16 AM

#

If dell has provided an installation disk containing their distribution of the windows ISO, then yes

slender oar Mar 3, 2024, 3:26 AM

#

Okay bro

#

Wish me luck

slender oar Mar 3, 2024, 4:19 AM

#

What should I do next bro

dusky talon Mar 3, 2024, 4:20 AM

#

You can attempt to use the "reset your PC" function from that screen although people often have varying levels of success with that

slender oar Mar 3, 2024, 4:23 AM

#

What does windows rollback mean

dusky talon Mar 3, 2024, 4:24 AM

#

It is used to rollback updates

if an update causes issues then that is used to move back to a previous version

slender oar Mar 3, 2024, 4:24 AM

#

So should I click to the “continue” option?

dusky talon Mar 3, 2024, 4:25 AM

#

You will likely end up in the same loop your were stuck in before - hence why i didn't suggest clicking continue

slender oar Mar 3, 2024, 4:25 AM

#

Now what

dusky talon Mar 3, 2024, 4:27 AM

#

You passed the "reset this PC" option to get to that menu

slender oar Mar 3, 2024, 4:28 AM

#

There is not that option

slender oar Mar 3, 2024, 4:28 AM

#

slender oar What should I do next bro

When I click troubleshoot it move to that site

dusky talon Mar 3, 2024, 4:28 AM

#

When you select troubleshoot on the page you previously provided a screenshot of you get taken to this page

if you don't have that option then I circle back to my original suggestion of doing a clean install from an installation media

slender oar Mar 3, 2024, 4:29 AM

#

Let me show u

dusky talon Mar 3, 2024, 4:29 AM

#

as i stated, if you don't have that option then I circle back to my original suggestion of doing a clean install from an installation media

slender oar Mar 3, 2024, 4:47 AM

#

I still have my data in volume 0

#

Is there any way to save all this data before reinstalling?

dusky talon Mar 3, 2024, 4:48 AM

#

It's typically possible by creating a live linux USB and from there you should be able to access the drive your operating system is on and attempt to recover your personal files, either moving them to an additional external drive or uploading them to cloud storage

slender oar Mar 3, 2024, 4:51 AM

#

Ohhh I successfully open my old windows without losing data

slender oar Mar 3, 2024, 4:51 AM

#

slender oar Now what

Guys if anyone encounter the same problem

#

Do as /* - *\ said

#

Use installation disk to repair

#

And then choose startup repair and it works

#

Thanks /* - *\ very much, you just save my life

Is there any way to backup data but USB?

dusky talon Mar 3, 2024, 6:56 PM

#

Copying data onto a USB isn't a backup, that would just be a redundant copy
a backup should survive a worst case scenario, while we never want it to happen, lets assume a house hire, your computer might not survive it and it's unlikely a USB will either

So people use the 3-2-1 backup method which is described here: https://msft.chat/wiki/backup.html
