Windows reinstall redirecting to startup repair

[Zuhair Ishraque]

I've been recently getting a green screen of death. I was in the Windows Insider program so I had Windows 11. I've been attempting to freshly reinstall my windows, but it always redirects me to the blue startup repair screen when it's partially through. I've tried both the cloud reinstall options and the local reinstall one, but nothing seems to work. My hard drive is fine because I managed to open file explorer through command prompt and backup a lot of my files on external drives in case things went wrong. Does anyone know what might be wrong? It keeps redirecting me to the screen in the image.

Just to make sure, are you trying to install from a USB made through the Media Creation Tool or something similar like Rufus?

No. I've been using the "cloud reinstall" where it downloads windows online and then installs it. I attempted the local one because I thought that since the download finished for the cloud one before the process terminated, maybe the local reinstall could find the downloaded file and use that to install. Do I have to do it with a USB?

I have no idea what "cloud install" you are talking about.

Just download the windows media creation tool and make a install usb from it,

Make a bootable USB and install windows that way. The cloud installs, factory resets, and all other ways Windows reverts itself to a "fresh Windows copy" generally don't work or have some issues with it (in my experience that is). The only way that you know (probably) won't have issues is to format and reinstall, through making a bootable USB, booting into it, and following the steps of the installer to get it working.

Okay I'll do this method and update here on what happens. Thanks for the advice.
