Windows 10 - Infinite startup loop (Help needed)

Go to solution Solved by Dynamical code,

The reset worked, that was my last option so yes, that's solved.

I did reset with files so windows did a good job at keeping my files safe.

So it goes like this...

I was adjusting the number of processors my Laptop is allowed to use in msconfig.exe

While exiting I noticed that there was something called timeout...

After a bit of research I decided to set the timeout to 3 seconds(the lowest possible)

And now after a restart my laptop just crashes, and says

"Preparing Automatic repair"

and then "Diagnosing your pc"

 

I have tried all methods known to me, and I now request help...

Any form advice will be amazing!!

 

 

 

Thanks

first thing I would try is getting into safe mode, this can be done by holding the power button to force it to shutdown while it's trying to boot, after 2 or 3 times it usually with give you recovery options, go to > repair > more options > startup settings

why no dark mode?

You'll probably have to boot from Windows install media and use the command line to undo your changes.

interesting, I don't really know what to tell you. You could try repairing using a windows boot USB if you have one.

I'm not sure how to do that, might have to watch some kind of tutorial, will try it tomorrow

Don't have a USB to be honest. If nothing else works, maybe I'll just consider resetting with keeping the private folders, but that too, after all is tried
