Windows 10 is a series of operating systems developed by Microsoft Inc and was released as part of its Windows NT family. If your Windows 10 OS won’t load or crash at the start of the booth, that means you need to fix one or two problems on it before you can be able to use it. If the operating system is booting very slowly than expected or has a rotated screen, then there are fixes that you need to do, and here is how to restore Windows 10 to normal.

There are different methods through which your Windows 10 could be repaired, and below are step-by-step guides on how to restore it.

Once you power up your PC or Laptop, Press F11 on your keyboard, and this will take you to Windows 10 Advanced Startup Options. Booting off an install disk and click NEXT, Repair offers a second option.

After your computer has booted up, select Troubleshoot.

Then, click Advanced Options.

Click Startup Repair.

With this, Windows will automatically troubleshoot and fix any problems causing startup issues on your PC. Windows might not be able to do this if you do not have any Startup problems.
