If a problem is preventing your Windows computer from starting properly, the Startup Repair option can help you fix the problem. This option scans for common problems, such as corrupted system files, incorrect startup configurations, disk errors, and driver problems, and attempts to fix them.
The Startup Settings options contain specialized startup modes for your Windows PC. They provide different levels of access and functionality to the operating system, allowing you to troubleshoot, diagnose, and fix a variety of Windows problems.
The following are the modes available in the Startup Settings menu:
The Command Prompt option launches a command-line interface in Advanced Boot Options for system recovery and advanced troubleshooting.
This option is useful when you need to run diagnostic commands, repair system files, manage disk partitions, or perform other administrative tasks that require using command-line tools without fully booting into Windows.
The Uninstall Updates option allows you to roll back recent Windows updates. This option is useful when an update causes problems on your computer, such as slowness, system instability or freezes, startup errors, driver issues, and missing or malfunctioning features.
Basically, if you notice something is wrong after updating your computer, this is the option you need to use before the updates exceed the 10-day rollback period.
Selecting UEFI Firmware Settings gives you access to a modern version of the traditional Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) called Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI).
This function allows you to adjust basic or hardware-level settings of your computer, including boot order, safe boot, system time and date, fan speed, RAM settings, and power mode.
So if you want to configure how your computer's hardware and firmware interact, UEFI provides a more user-friendly way to do it.
If you don’t see the UEFI Firmware Settings option, don’t panic. It just means you have to access the same settings using BIOS , albeit more limited. Depending on your device manufacturer, you may be able to access BIOS by pressing keys like F2, F10, Delete , or Esc while booting.
The System Restore option returns your computer to a previous operating state by reverting changes made to system settings. This feature is useful for troubleshooting problems caused by problematic updates, changes, or sudden instability without affecting your personal files.
Remember that System Restore relies on available system restore points on your hard drive to undo changes.
Although Windows will automatically create them before a major system event (for example, installing new software or updates), it's better to create system restore points manually for better control.
If you created a system image for your Windows PC, the System Image Recovery option is where you'll use it to restore your computer. The system image will restore all of your data from that Windows installation, including settings, configurations, applications, and files. It's one of the best options for recovering a PC after a complete hardware failure.
However, remember that any data created after creating a system image will not be restored, so if possible, make sure to create a system image monthly, before major updates to your PC, or before major life events (for example, traveling or moving to a new home).
A word of warning before you begin: Using Startup Options incorrectly can aggravate existing problems or cause new ones, making your system more unstable. Only use them if you fully understand how they work and the implications.
If you are still unsure about how Advanced Boot Options work, consider seeking help from an IT professional before using them.
