If you can get into Windows:

Please check to see if your PC is producing any minidump files, I will check those to see if they provide any insight into a potential cause of the system crashes.

Open Windows File Explorer.

Navigate to C:\Windows\Minidump

Copy any minidump files onto your Desktop, then zip those up.

Upload the zip file to the Cloud (OneDrive, DropBox... etc.), then choose to share those and get a share link.

Then post the link here to the zip file, so we can take a look for you.

If you cannot get into Windows:

Start your PC, just as Windows attempts to load (spinning dots), press and hold Power Button for 5 - 10 seconds to perform a Hard Shut Down

Do this twice

On the third start Windows will boot into the Recovery Environment and from there you can access System Repair, Safe Mode, Command Prompt... etc.

Please try each option one at a time, then see of Windows will boot.

Go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Option - Startup Repair

See if Windows startup can repair itself

Go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Option - System Restore

Check to see if you have a restore point you can go back to

If you do not have a Restore Point, go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Option - Startup Settings and click Restart

Upon restart, press 5 to enter Safe Mode

Once in Safe Mode, backup your data if you do not already have a backup

Open Device Manager and check to make sure all your Drivers are up to date

Reboot to see if Windows will start Normally

Follow these procedures to resolve the It appears that Windows did not load correctly issue on Windows 11/10:

• Restart your computer.
• Run Automatic Startup Repair after rebuilding the BCD
• Make use of the System Restore point.
• In Safe Mode, troubleshoot.

It is the very first thing you should do if you receive the aforementioned issue. A simple restart can sometimes solve a plethora of problems in a matter of seconds. If you restart your computer, you may be able to escape the problem that is causing this issue on Windows 11 or Windows 10 PC.

You do not need to use the actual restart button to restart your computer. Instead, you can select the Restart my PC option from the error screen.

It will immediately restart your computer and allow you to sign in to your user account. However, if you continue to see the same error message on a regular basis, you should investigate the following remedies.

Run Automatic Startup Repair and see if that works for you. Clicking on the See advanced repair options button that you see on the error screen may help you get there quickly.

If any system files are faulty, your Windows computer may display that notice on the screen. The other explanation is that the Boot Configuration Data is corrupt. In that situation, simply use the bootrec /rebuildbcd command to recreate the BCD on your computer.

Rebuild BCD One of the most critical things to do when starting or booting your computer is to rebuild the BCD. Whether you are installing or restarting the system, the BCD must be intact in order for the system to run smoothly. However, if there are any problems with the Boot Configuration Data, you may run into the aforementioned problem.

As a result, it is advised to rebuild the BCD or Boot Configuration Data. The best part is that you don't need any third-party software; you can do it all with the Command Prompt. To do so, select the Command Prompt option from the See advanced repair options menu.

Then, enter the following command and hit Enter:

bootrec /rebuildbcd

How do I access a recovery key?

I can get into windows and I don't have minidump here.
