So I'm just curious here. I've had this error twice now in the past two years, with two different GPU's at that. I get a windows boot error that says "windows failed to start, a recent hardware or software change might be the issue". Then lists a few instructions about inserting the disc and selecting my language and hitting repair etc. The only options are enter = continue and esc = exit. Each time the error has happened I've hit enter and my computer simply restarts normally. However I was wondering if either option does anything different, (or if I should be hitting esc instead of enter, not that it seems to matter). Also if anyone has a clue what causes this to popup out of the blue. I'm not worried, but I am curious.

Windows often triggers false alarms during scans. Running fixes automatically on a working system can lead to complications. The disk interacts with Windows files, replacing suspected faulty components. It helps if only part of the system is damaged, but risks increase otherwise. "A restart resolved the issue—probably it was already okay."
