\nReplaces everything on the computer with a system image created using the Windows Backup utility from Windows 7 or later. (This utility is available in the Control Panel,\u00a0via the System Image Backup link, at the bottom of the File\u00a0History option.) This option will not be useful if you don’t use Windows Backup utility.<\/p>\n
\nIf you choose this option, Windows attempts to diagnose and automatically correct common boot problems.\u00a0The Startup Repair option starts an automated startup repair procedure. If Windows 10 isn’t starting properly, serious missing or corrupt file errors or a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), Startup Repair is should be your first troubleshooting step.<\/p>\n
\nOpens an administrative command prompt, where you can use Windows commands from the Command Prompt.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Choosing Startup Settings will restart your computer and bring up the Startup Settings menu. The menu has several special ways to boot Windows 10, including Safe Mode.\u00a0The Startup Settings menu is very similar to the Advanced Boot Options menu from previous versions of Windows 10. If you’re having problems booting your computer, this is the next option to try if Startup Repair does not fix your boot problems.<\/p>\n
\nAllows you to change startup settings such as boot order and Secure Boot. On an older PC with a legacy BIOS,\u00a0this option leads to the Startup Settings menu instead.<\/p>\n
