I do not see the boot logo on Windows 7.

Command reported successful update.

However, my boot screen still shows this:

Instead of the usual burning windows logo for Win7:

Once I disabled Intel SRT, I was able to go through the Startup Repair.

Startup Repair detected no issues.  Reports "boot successfully".

I re-ran "Method 2: System File Checker Tool" as described above by Abdul-R and got similar results as the prior pass:

1. SFC tool scans up to 17%
2. SFC exits at this point and reports "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them".
3. The log file CBS.log has plenty of errors relative to pending renames, duplicate ownership, please check the text content here: http://pastebin.com/NnJf7d5h

The PC still boots with the Vista-style boot logo instead of Win7 logo.

I did make changes to my PC a few weeks ago: I removed the drivers and NVIDIA graphics card I had.  My display is now connected to the motherboard DVI connector.

I own a Z68 intel motherboard with Intel HD Graphics 3000, which seems to be working fine.

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

Have you made any changes to the computer prior to this issue?

I would suggest you to perform a startup repair and check if it helps.

Open the System Recovery Options menu on your computer and try performing start up repair.

To do so, follow these steps.

a) Remove all floppy disks, CDs, and DVDs from your computer, and then restart your computer using the computer's power button.

b) Do one of the following:

If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer.

If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to highlight the operating system you want to repair, and then press and hold F8.

c) On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight Repair your computer, and then press Enter. (If Repair your computer isn't listed as an option, then your computer doesn't include preinstalled recovery options, or your network administrator has turned them off.

d) Select a keyboard layout, and then click next.

e) On the System Recovery Options menu, click a tool to open it.

f) Select the option Startup repair.

I have a couple dozen entries of apps in the startup tab of "msconifg".

In safe mode, I get no loading screen either, goes straight to "welcome" screen and on to desktop.

For "Method 2": Running the System File Checker Tool" does report issues:

"Verification 17% complete.

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.

Details are included in the CBS.log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example

C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log"

Copy of the filtered "sfdetails.txt" file produced is here , yet it doesn't seem to list which system files couldn't be repaired.

Copy of the full "cbs.log" file here , does list boatloads of failure details, but can't identify what to do from here.

Issue not solved.

Hi,

The boot process depends upon the number of applications being loaded during the boot process. The loading screen usually occurs if there are a couple of applications being started during the boot process. You may check the number of applications which get started using MSCONFIG and also perform a safe mode and clean boot.

Method 1:

Step 1: Start your computer in safe mode

Check if the issue persists even in Safe Mode.

Refer the link mention below:

Step 2: Putting your system in clean boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue.
