[FIX] Your PC Did Not Start Correctly In Windows 10

Consider a scenario, that you’re having a Windows 10 installed machine. You turn it on and Windows started the booting process but suddenly power went off. In such condition, there might be chances that boot files on your system got corrupted. So next time, when power is back and you turn on the machine, you’ll see that instead of booting the OS, Windows start preparing for Automatic Repair and performs it. After few moments, you’ll receive below shown screen saying Your PC did not start correctly.

As the screen mention itself that if you hit Restart button, the problem may solve automatically. But if this continues to happen after every reboot, you need to perform additional troubleshooting fixes to solve this problem. Here are the factors that can preserve the issue even after multiple reboots:

• Corrupted/missing Boot Configuration Data (BCD) file

• Corruption of Master Boot Record (MBR)

• Both BCD and MBR are corrupted or missing

• Any hardware changes such as re-installation of hard-drive

• In case of virtual installations, re-deployment or changes to Virtual Disk Image (.vdi) file

To solve this hiccup, you can try these suggestions:
