Hi all,
My computer has been working fine with no issues offline (hasn't been connected to the internet). Mysteriously I can no longer login - the computer gets stuck at the 'Starting Windows' screen.
I have tried the following:
chkdsk: returned clean
sfc: returned problems but was unable to fix them
System restore: failed
Removed the drive and scanned it on another computer with KAV and it didn't find anything.
Tried leaving it at the 'Starting Windows' screen overnight
Tried talking nicely to it and offering a reword of full clean out if it works again.
I can log in when I boot to safe mode but the computer gets stuck when I try to do a diagnostics boot & selective boot (with all my programs disabled). Attached is the cbs.log file.
I really can't afford the time it will take to reformat the computer and get it back to work - is there any way to save the install?
