Anonymous

Last night at around 11pm est I was on my pc when an app I was trying to use for a game started to run slow. Typically when this would happen I would do a control alt delete restart and it would be fine but last night the stop code bad_system_config_info popped up I have tried many different methods to fix nothing has worked I have tried getting it into Safe mode and it won’t even do that, Unfortunately it won’t even let me wipe the computer itself. I am stuck and not sure what else to do.

Okay, Thanks for checking.

To create an installation media, you will need the following:

> A USB flash drive with at least 8GB of storage.

> Another computer with internet access.

Note : Back up any important files on your flash drive, as it will be formatted during this process.

Step 1: Download the Media Creation Tool

a. Download the ISO for your Windows version using below link

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

Step 2: Run the Media Creation Tool

a. Open the Media Creation Tool and, when prompted, select "Yes" in the permission window.

b. Accept the terms and conditions.

c. In the next window, select "Create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) for another PC", then click Next.

Optional: Uncheck "Use recommended options for this PC" if you want to manually select the language, Windows edition, and architecture.

Step 3: Create the Installation Media

a. In the "Choose which media to use" window, select "USB flash drive", then click Next.

b. Select your USB flash drive from the list and click Next.

c. Wait for the tool to create the installation media.

Once the process is complete, you can use the flash drive to install or repair Windows on another PC.

Now, Connect the Installation Media (Flash Drive) to the PC that is not working.

1: Plug the USB into your PC.

2: Power off the broken PC

3: Power it on and immediately press the boot menu key repeatedly:

4: Usually F12, ESC, or F9 (varies by brand)

5: Select the USB Drive from the list and press Enter.

6: At the Windows Setup screen, click “Next”

7: At the bottom-left, click “Repair your computer”

See if this works.

Hello ,

I’m here to help you in resolving your issue

1: If you can’t boot normally, try below step :

Force shutdown 3 times (hold power until it turns off during boot) to trigger Automatic Repair.

Once you see the "Choose an option" screen:

Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Command Prompt

2: Once in Command Prompt:

bootrec /fixmbr

bootrec /fixboot

bootrec /scanos

bootrec /rebuildbcd

If bootrec /fixboot gives Access is denied, run: bcdboot C:\Windows /s C: /f ALL

Replace C: with the actual Windows drive letter in this environment — it may be different (like D:).

3: Restore a Working Registry Backup

Windows often stores backups of the registry that can be restored manually:

cd C:\Windows\System32\config

ren DEFAULT DEFAULT.bak

ren SAM SAM.bak

ren SECURITY SECURITY.bak

ren SOFTWARE SOFTWARE.bak

ren SYSTEM SYSTEM.bak

copy C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack\*.* C:\Windows\System32\config\

If it asks to overwrite, type A for All.

Then reboot using below command :

exit

And restart your PC.

After trying above steps, please reach out to me if you have any doubts or issues
