Help with Laptop win 10 problem
Good morning
I am having a problem opening windows 10 and each time I try to restart the computer it comes up with this. I hope you can read, I tried to enlarge smaller text. I can’t go any further than this from this screen, it doesn’t restart as it says. When I turn off, wait at least 5 minutes and start again, it tries to check and undertake a repair then goes back to this screen. This has only happened since the last forced update. At one time it gave me the option to uninstall last update but came back with a message that I could not do this. Please tell me this isn’t the blue screen of death.
I know an option is to take it in to Brian SOS but I am extremely high risk to the virus and am advised not to leave the house. I hope someone can tell me what to do, I am computer savvy, to a certain extent.

Re: Help with Laptop win 10 problem
What happened to the reply I received? From Paul and Lesley I think? I was following advice and then it disappeared. I pressed F8, then what did you say I should do?
Re: Help with Laptop win 10 problem
Well, this may help:

Given that their option 1 is restore to a previous working version, it is fairly drastic.
Personally, I would try the options that involve booting to safe mode first.
To boot to safe mode:
Click the Windows-button → Power.
Hold down the shift key and click Restart.
Click the option Troubleshoot and then Advanced options.
Go to “Advanced options” and click Start-up Settings.
Under “Start-up Settings” click Restart.
Various boot options are displayed. ...
Windows 10 starts in Safe Mode.
Note that you may also see other options in these menus that can help. Try just booting to safe mode first though, to see what happens.

They deleted their reply. I don't know why.

Re: Help with Laptop win 10 problem
I am no buff either, but I sometimes find with a problem like this if you take the battery out for a minute or two and then put it back and start up it can sort a problem. Like unplugging a PC from the mains,

Re: Help with Laptop win 10 problem
Windows 10 has disabled the F8 key function so my reply would not work so I deleted it.
Try to restart the computer 3 times then see if it gives you more option for a repair.

Re: Help with Laptop win 10 problem
You have the dreaded blue screen of death (BSoD). There are hundreds of ways that this can happen but, in your case, it tells you that you have a bad system configuration. When you get the computer started do a search for Bad System Config Info and it may give you a choice of potential errors. The problem is that these potential errors can frequently not be understood by non-geeks (and often by geeks!).

Re: Help with Laptop win 10 problem
Presuming it's a laptop?
Also, with the battery removed and charger disconnected, press and hold the power button for at least 30 seconds, then try again.
I'm not confident that the above will work and think the 'safe-mode' option would be better.
Will option one on here work?

Boot to safe mode. If that works, the first thing to try is just a normal restart, to see if you have sorted it already.
If not, unplug all unnecessary peripherals if you have any, and try again.

Re: Help with Laptop win 10 problem
I really wish I could as nothing is working but as I said in my original post, I’m advised not to leave the house or mix with others. Also, my car not working. I’ve gone through all the advance options, including the command prompt. I don’t have anyone to help to take to SOS.
Frustrating as I have stuff on there I need to send urgently to U.K. that I’ve been working on for weeks. I’m truly stuck! Boo bloody hoo
Re: Help with Laptop win 10 problem
Perhaps contact Brian at Computer SOS - he may even arrange to collect the computer from you if you are fairly close to the shop and taking into consideration your health concerns.

Now, type the "bcdedit/deletevalue {default} truncatememory" command and press Enter.
Close the Command Prompt window, exit Automatic Repair and try to start the Windows operating system to see if this fixes the "BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO" blue screen error.

It's easy to be wise after the event, but good backups are always useful in these circumstances.

I’m accessing Forum on an iPad.
I always backup, information not lost, on a memory stick but, I cannot access it without my laptop to send to UK
I will try your suggestion, I’m currently taking an hour or two away from laptop for my sanity.

Re: Help with Laptop win 10 problem
Sounds to me that your car should be the priority not the laptop

Re: Help with Laptop win 10 problem

Re: Help with Laptop win 10 problem
How do you get your food and or money by delivery?
Maybe some nice person could pick it up and take it to SOS for you
