Hi Microsoft friends, Automatic Repair can't make the Win 11 boot, (version 23H2, build 22631.3527, how do you fix it w/ the Windows Recovery Environment Command Prompt? What's the command and syntax to repair it using the Command Prompt?

I'd tried SFC /Scannow on Windows Recovery Environment but that didn't work.

Sadly I don't have any restore point or backup or image or Windows Installer. I do have Window to Go (same build) and the Windows Recovery Environment Command Prompt still works.

It also won't boot to Safe Mode, it's just stuck with that spinning wheel and Windows logo.

Thank you in advance.

God bless Windows experts.

    Hello,

    If you have access to Windows Recovery Environment and can open Command Prompt, here are some of the commonly used repair commands:

    Checking the disk for errors:

    chkdsk C: /f /r /x

    This command will check the disk for errors and attempt to fix them. The “C:” should be replaced with the letter of your drive.

    If the problem continues, you may have corruption on your system files. You can use the Deployment Imager Servicing and Management (DISM) tool to attempt to repair your image. Run the following commands:

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    Note: Sometimes it might be needed to specify the source, if you have another Windows install or Windows installer media. How to use DISM command tool to repair Windows 10 image | Windows Central

    Running sfc (System File Checker) scan:

    sfc /scannow /offbootdir=C:\ /offwindir=C:\Windows\

    Replace “C:” with your system root drive. This will scan system files for corruption and automatically repairs them.

    Best Regards,
