How to fix error windows-stuck-in-boot-loop in Windows 11

Solution Steps

1. 1 First, try to boot into Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). Restart your PC and press F11 (or the key your manufacturer specifies) repeatedly during startup. If that doesn't work, you may need a Windows 11 installation USB. Insert the USB, restart, and boot from it. Select 'Repair your computer'.
2. 2 In WinRE, go to Troubleshoot → Advanced options → Startup Repair. This tool automatically scans for and fixes common boot problems. It may take 10-20 minutes. If it succeeds, your PC will boot normally.
3. 3 If Startup Repair doesn't work, go to Troubleshoot → Advanced options → Command Prompt. This opens a command-line interface where we can manually fix the boot configuration.
4. 4 In the Command Prompt, type 'bootrec /fixmbr' and press Enter. This repairs the master boot record, which is the first thing your PC reads to start Windows. Then type 'bootrec /fixboot' and press Enter to repair the boot sector.
5. 5 Next, type 'bootrec /scanos' and press Enter. This scans for installed operating systems. If it finds Windows, type 'bootrec /rebuildbcd' and press Enter. Follow the prompts to add Windows to the boot configuration.
6. 6 If bootrec commands fail, the boot configuration data (BCD) may be corrupted. Type 'bcdedit /export C:\bcdbackup' to back it up, then 'ren C:\boot\bcd bcd.old' to rename the old BCD, and finally 'bootrec /rebuildbcd' to create a new one.
7. 7 If you suspect a recent driver or update caused the loop, try booting into Safe Mode. In WinRE, go to Troubleshoot → Advanced options → Startup Settings → Restart. Then press 4 or F4 to enter Safe Mode. Once in Safe Mode, uninstall recently installed drivers or updates via Device Manager or Settings.
8. 8 If none of these work, your hard drive might be failing. Run a disk check: In the Command Prompt, type 'chkdsk /f /r C:' and press Enter. This will scan for bad sectors and attempt to fix them. It may take hours.
9. 9 As a last resort, you may need to reinstall Windows. Use the installation USB to perform a clean install, but back up your data first if possible.
