System crashes repeatedly in a blue screen during startup.
System crashes repeatedly in a blue screen during startup.
I was just browsing YouTube when I saw a "security and maintenance" alert on my computer. It suggested rebooting to resolve drive issues. After restarting, it reported "Repairing Drive C" and then displayed a blue screen with the error "Kernel Security Check Failure." The BSOD happened really quickly, and it rebooted again after a hard shutdown. I tried another boot, but the problem keeps coming up. I’m trying to fix this without having to reinstall Windows.
Consider using Startup Repair to revert to an earlier System Restore state. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/wind...b5a3024da5
Uncertain about what occurred—it kept looping through blue screens, over 15 of them. Frequent automatic fixes, crashes, and failure to enter recovery mode. Now I’m on the Windows desktop. Case closed? I’ll try running sfc and dism later and share an update soon.
I store my data on both a NAS and USB external drives. Even if something goes wrong, I’d retain about 99% of what I need. I could easily switch to a different Linux distribution, install it, and get back up quickly using a backup.
We’re skipping the NSA approach and opting for external backups instead.
