Windows won't boot after changing regedit

[treeroy]

I was following a simple guide on how to make shortcut arrows disappear using the regedit. I followed what it said and restarted my computer. THe PC was turning itself off and on and off and on. I cut the power and restarted it - the PC is staying on but windows will not boot! I just have a black screen.

 

What do I do?  

 

 

I cant access BIOS either by the way.

I wouldn't think I regedit would prevent you entering the BIOS...

I have had BIOS issues for ages, I have not been able to get into the BIOS for months, the start screen just does not appear. Its a pain in the ass.

 

Fortunately... Windows has now booted. It took 10 minutes.. it usually takes 10 seconds. Maybe I should delete my new registry ke y in case this happens again. I really panicked there.

Is it an OEM computer/laptop?

I built the PC myself using all brand new parts. The motherboard used to work perfectly, but I noticed when I installed my new SSD a couple months ago that I do not get a start screen. (my screen is never turned on when I boot the PC up so didn't know before)

 

Motherboard is now 3 years old. gigabyte Z87 something.

If it's Windows 8.1/10 then sometimes it activates a setting which makes the OS bypass the BIOS prompt (I know it's retarded but y'know. Microsoft. Pricks) Anyway. There is a way to correct this but I can't remember how to do it. Search "How to access BIOS before windows 8.1/10" or something like that. 

I think by changing the storage device it made the setting switch to bypass the BIOS prompt.

Have you tried resetting CMOS?
