Eternal safe mode (windows 10)

[Chapapa07]

It always boots in safe mode, I tried unchecking the safe boot option but it was already unchecked:

Even then, the entire tab is unresponsive.

I tried entering bcdedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot with administrative privileges in Command Prompt to no avail, got this:

What could I do?

????? where is your BCD entry?

Back up what you want to keep, do an OS reset, if that doesn't fix it, delete the os and partition and reinstall windows

 

[Solaris17]

Here:

I would reboot the machine to start up repair with command prompt (hold shift and click restart from the start menu)

then type

bootrec /fixmbr

bootrec /rebuildbcd

basically whats happening is that none of the settings are getting saved. let me guess your machine boots to startup repair then gets into windows shortly after? the units main BCD is totally gone (except for the backup BCD it seems) so none of the settings are saving. We need to re-create it, then you should be home free.

Idk if SFC/SCANNOW would help (seems to be like less than 10% it finds anything wrong)

yeah I dont think so. the BCD IIRC is stored in \\drive\EFI the hidden partition, for whatever reason its corrupt or gone (probably build upgrade, atleast thats my first guess) but two are made. (which is allowing him to boot into OS) if the OS isnt too bad he should be able to simply rebuild it. At that point boot modifications in msconfig like disabling safe mode will work again.

Hopefully it does it's like Windows Oddities I remember seeing stuff and Windows 98 stop working Suddenly It's because of a stupid registry entry will get it put in somehow and it would have to be removed that was for the optical drives even work in the operating system

Yea, but if something corrupts it won't detect anything. I would use the DISM command to check the health and then restore it. I usually just skip the health check and just do a Health restore. Then after the Health restore then I do the sfc /scannow command.

Check Health

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

Scan Health

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

Restore Health

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

sfc

sfc /scannow

first I would do what @Solaris17 said to check his boot record. Also, a fresh start and keep his files like you suggested is a good option as well. Maybe even check to see if he has any restore points.
