Windows just reboots when i boot into it

[lime dawn]

As the title says, if i want to enter the user environment, after the boot animation finishes, it just reboots. I have a 64 gig usb and another pc with internet.

Does it boot fine in safe mode?

[jagged sorrel]

Safe Mode

Safe mode starts Windows in a basic state, using a limited set of files and drivers. If a problem doesn't happen in safe mode, this means that default settings and basic device drivers aren't causing the issue. Observing Windows in safe mode enables you to narrow down the source of a problem, and can help you troubleshoot problems on your PC.

Check this page for more information (written by Microsoft).

yeah

@lime dawn when did this start happening? any particular programs or updates that might have caused this?

If windows has made a restore point to before that time, you could try restoring to it.

If you Shift+Click on restart (while ins safe mode) I think you'll be able to get to the restore point option.

Just my 2 cents, malicious scheduled tasks can also be a potential culprit. shutdown on boot. I have done this as a joke to people myself

so at first, i tried to install windows xp on my data drive (at the time, i deleted 2 useless partitions which made the data drive 531 gigs, it was in AHCI mode at the time) after installing it, it made my entire disk IDE mode, and then it was just unbootable, i somehow got it to be on AHCI mode again, then it started happening

so the drive Windows 10 is on is not the data drive?

can you just try unplugging the data drive and seeing if win10 boots normally

[lime dawn]

ya

i installed windows on it and data drive is now an efi drive

[surreal sand]
