I've been there. I had a situation a few years ago, where I knew a fresh install would fix the issue, but I waited until I tested every other option beforehand, as I couldn't stop thinking how shytty it would be to reinstall everything. I eventually did the fresh install. Looking back, me trying shyt I knew wouldn't work, took longer than a fresh install and reinstalling everything. After this though, you will learn the valuable lesson of putting all of your documents in your One Drive folder (so they are always backed up) and keeping all your games on a separate hdd/ssd (so that you don't have to download all of your games again).My PC has been stuck in a boot loop since Wednesday night after installing an update
I can't log in to Windows, I can't boot into Safe Mode, I've tried the Advanced Repair Options (created a recovery USB drive just to get to the repair options) and nothing is working. Last resort is Resetting the PC and keeping the files and reinstalling everything, but I realllllllllllly do not want to have to do that
I've tried getting into Safe Mode numerous ways and nothing gives. If I do have to reset this shyt, will my application project files and settings still be saved? I have some video editing projects that I don't want to have to start over on after reinstalling the software for them.
Breh, a fresh install is probably what you need. You might lose some files and settings though, as it's always a risk. If your videos are on a different drive than your boot drive, just take your hdd/ssd out and plug it into another computer. Copy the files off the hdd/ssd to an external and you're good to go.
I do know that shyt sucks a lot. But sometimes you gotta start over
