1. Startup Repair

*Startup Repair * prepares your computer, operating system (OS), hardware, or software for operation. This process, often called booting, loads the OS into the computer’s main memory or RAM. On a PC, you typically see the initial Windows or Mac desktop screen after booting.

Rebooting your computer is sometimes necessary to resolve issues. The shortcut key for rebooting is Ctrl + Alt + Del.

Bootloader: A program that runs before the OS starts, loading the OS kernel into memory. It is typically stored on the device’s firmware (BIOS/UEFI).

Commands for Bootloader and BIOS Information:

Bootloader Information:

bcdedit 
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode

BIOS Information:

wmic bios get /format:list
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode

Accessing Boot Menu:
For Lenovo laptops, press F12 repeatedly at the Lenovo logo during bootup.

Recently installed Windows updates can sometimes cause issues. Uninstalling these updates might resolve the BSOD.

Method 1: Using Bootrec and System Tools
Move to the Windows Installation Drive:

C:
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode

Create a New Master Boot Record (MBR):

bootrec /fixmbr
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode

Create a New Boot Sector:

bootrec /fixboot
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode

Scan Disks for Windows Installations:

bootrec /scanos
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode

Check Disk Utility (Check and repair disk errors):

chkdsk /f /r c:
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode

System File Checker Tool (Scan and replace protected system files):

sfc /scannow
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode

Summarized Commands:

bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /scanos
chkdsk /f /r c:
sfc /scannow
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode

Method 2: Windows Registry Repair
The Windows Registry is a centralized database storing configuration settings and options for both the OS and applications. Backups of the registry are stored in the regback folder.
(Note: This works only if automatic registry backup has been enabled before)

Commands:

cd windows/system32/config
MD backup
copy "." backup
cd regback
copy "." ..
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode

System Restore acts as a “Time Traveling Machine”, helping to protect and repair your computer’s software by creating restore points. These points can be created manually or automatically by Windows before significant events, such as installing software or updates.

Restore points are snapshots of your computer’s system files, installed applications, Windows registry, and system settings at a particular point in time.

(Note: System Restore does not affect personal data but will uninstall any software updates or drivers installed after the chosen restore point.)

By following these solutions, you can resolve various issues that cause the Automatic Repair Blue Screen (BSOD) and restore your computer to normal functioning. Remember to back up important data regularly to prevent data loss during such issues.
