Windows 8.1 Startup hassles

[GIJew]

Hey Everyone,

 

So this morning my PC started startup repair when I booted it, odd.

Next thing it restarts and after it boots (it ran the "Diagnosing" screen) I was greeted with a blue screen with two options:
 

1. Troubleshoot

2. Restart

 

Now any idiot knows "worst comes to worst I'll restore from a previous point", but the thing is, I cant use any of the troubleshooting devices whatsoever because all my user profiles are gone.

 

So I don't have admin access and there are seemingly no user profiles on the machine either.

 

i plugged my HDD into another pc, all my files, user profiles, everything is there- so what the hell is going on? Is my OS corrupt?

 

I'm backing up all the files right now but I really really dont want to reformat again.

Any idea whats wrong and I how I can fix it?

 

Thanks guys

You already called everyone here an idiot. So who knows? :lol: Idiot.

Sorry for trying to stop people who were about to call me stupid before they could

 

No offence intended, simply a comedic jest

I had a problem similar to this. I ended up having to do a complete fresh install and it fixed it. Good luck.
