Surface Pro

Однажды ваше устройство может начать загружаться очень медленно или перестанет загружаться вообще. Вместо того, чтобы тратить время на поиски причины, в Windows 10 включили инструмент Startup Repair, который позволит быстро решить большую часть возможных проблем с загрузкой.

В этой инструкции мы объясним вам, как воспользоваться данным инструментом.

Как быстро решить проблемы Windows 10 с загрузкой

Сначала вам нужно зайти в продвинутые настройки, сделать это можно как минимум тремя способами.

Зайти в настройки, если компьютер не загружается

Если ваше устройство зависло при загрузке, вы можете воспользоваться этим способом:

Включите компьютер
Как только на экране появится логотип Windows, нажмите на кнопку включения (это сразу же прервет процесс загрузки)
Повторите шаги 1 и 2 дважды

После третьего раза Windows 10 откроет раздел продвинутых настроек, где вы сможете восстановить загрузку Windows, воспользовавшись инструкцией в конце статьи.

Зайти в настройки, использовав устройство запуска

Если ваш компьютер вообще не запускается, вы можете также воспользоваться устройством запуска следующим образом:

Запустите компьютер с помощью устройства запуска Подсказка: если ваш компьютер не запускается с помощью флешки, вам нужно поменять настройки базовой системы входа-выхода и удостовериться в том, что запуск будет возможен через USB-устройство. Как правило, настроить BIOS можно запустив компьютер и зажав клавишу Delete или ESC, но лучше проверьте это заранее на сайте производителя.
Нажмите «Далее»
Нажмите «Восстановить компьютер» в правом нижнем углу экрана

Выполнив все эти шаги, воспользуйтесь инструкцией в конце статьи для инструмента восстановления.

Как зайти в настройки, пока компьютер загружается

Если у вас есть доступ к рабочему столу, вы можете воспользоваться этой инструкцией для доступа к Startup Repair

Откройте настройки
Нажмите «Обновления и безопасность»
Нажмите на «Восстановить»
В разделе «Продвинутые настройки» выберите «Перезапустить сейчас»

После выполнения этих шагов воспользуйтесь инструкцией ниже, чтобы решить проблемы с загрузкой вашего компьютера

Как воспользоваться инструментом Startup Repair

В разделе продвинутых настроек, выполните следующие шаги:

Выберете «Продвинутые настройки»

Выберите Startup Repair

Выберите свой аккаунт
Введите пароль
Нажмите «Далее»Подсказка: как только вы выполните все эти шаги, программа начнет сканировать ваш ПК на предмет неполадок.

Во время этого процесса создается текстовый файл Srt.Trail.txt в папке C:\Windows\System32\Logfiles. В нем вы можете подробнее ознакомиться с результатами диагностики.

Если же вы уже давно пользуетесь одной и той же версией ПО, попробуйте переустановить Windows 10. Этот процесс займет больше времени и удалит все с вашего ПК, но он поможет решить все проблемы не только с загрузкой, но и с производительностью, жизнью батарейки и другим.

How to use Startup Repair to fix boot problems with Windows 10

It’s just a matter of time before your device gets stuck loading or won’t start at all. Instead of spending time trying to find out the problem, Windows 10 includes the Startup Repair feature designed to quickly fix most common issues that may be preventing your computer from loading correctly.

In this Windows 10 guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to use the Startup Repair tool to fix boot problems on your device.

How to quickly repair startup problems on Windows 10

To use the Startup Repair feature to fix boot issues with Windows 10, you’ll need to access the Advanced startup settings, which you can do in at least three different ways depending on your situation.

Accessing Advanced startup when PC isn’t loading

If your device isn’t loading or stuck during boot, you can use this method to access the recovery environment:

As soon as the Windows logo appears on your screen, press the power button. (This will immediately interrupt the boot sequence.)

Repeat steps 1 and 2 two more times.

After the third interruption, Windows 10 will open into the Advanced Startup environment, and then you can continue with the steps below to use the Startup Repair tool to fix booting issues with Windows 10.

Accessing Advanced startup using bootable media

Alternatively, in the case your device isn’t starting at all, you can use a USB installation media to get to the Advanced settings environment. Here’s how:

Start your device using a USB bootable media.

• Quick Tip: If your computer isn’t starting from the USB flash drive, you’ll need to change your system’s BIOS settings to make sure it can boot from USB. Usually, you can access the BIOS by powering up your device and pressing one of the functions, Delete, or ESC keys, but make sure to check your manufacturer’s support website for more information.

Click Next.

Click the Repair your computer link in the bottom-right corner.

Accessing Advanced startup when PC is loading

If you have access to the desktop, you can use these steps to access the recovery environment to use the Startup Repair tool:

1. Open Settings.
2. Click on Update & Security.
3. Click on Recovery.

Under the «Advanced startup» section, click the Restart now button.

After completing the steps, you can now continue with the steps below to fix loading problems with your device using the automatic repair feature.

Using Startup Repair to fix loading problems

While in the Advanced startup environment, use the following steps to use Startup Repair:

Click the Troubleshoot button.

Click the Advanced options button.

Click the Startup Repair button.

Click the Continue button.

Quick Tip: If your computer is loading correctly, using this tool, you’ll get the «Start Repair couldn’t repair your PC» message because there’s nothing that needs fixing.

Once you’ve completed the steps, the Start Repair feature will proceed to scan, detect, and fix any problems that may prevent your device from loading correctly.

Also, the repair process creates a SrtTrail.txt file in the «C:\Windows\System32\Logfiles» folder with log information that you can view to have a better understanding of the diagnostics.

If you’re still having problems, you should use the Windows Central forums to find help.

Alternatively, if you’ve been running the same installation for a long time, you should consider nuking the old installation with a clean copy of Windows 10. This process will take longer, and it’ll erase everything on your computer, but it’ll help to fix the loading issues, as well as performance, battery life, and other problems.
