![]() If this doesn't work use the same procedure as before to get into WRE and select either the system restore point option or the system image option (if you have them that is)ĭO NOT select the Reset this PC option as this will erase all your data and reinstall Windows. Select troubleshooting > advanced > Startup repair and follow the prompts. On the 3rd attempt it should boot into the WRE. Power on > boot > force stop > power on > boot > force stop etc. To do this, turn on the laptop and when it boots into Windows, force stop the laptop by holding the Power button until it shuts down.ĭo this 3 times, i.e. Hence, it’s probably something to be aware of and keep an eye on.Try entering the WRE (Windows Recovery Environment) menu. However, I think the odds probably favor this same setupdiag.exe tool being applicable to Win 11 upgrades even if it’s in the future. I know this post may not be terribly helpful right now. So it seems like there’s three possibilities:ġ) the tool is not valid for Windows 11 upgradesĢ) the tool will be valid for Windows 11 upgrades but still needs to be updatedģ) a version of the tool for Win 11 is included with the installation media/download directory However, the tool is also mentioned as being “included with setup” which I guess means the installation media (or download directory?) for the OS you’re upgrading to. You’d have to do some digging and experimenting to confirm though.Īccording to the download link for the tool, it was last updated prior to the release of Windows 11 which doesn’t sound promising. My own personal hunch is that it probably still does. I haven’t found anything stating whether or not this still holds true for Windows 11 in-place upgrades. Through Windows 10, the command line program setupdiag.exe seems to be Microsoft’s tool for IT pros to diagnose failed OS upgrades. W10 to W11), I normally upgrade first, and make sure everything works, then maybe a few months later I'll reinstall from scratch. You can't undo, only restore an image backup, assuming you have one. Another problem is that you can't so easily go back to the old system if something goes wrong. It takes longer, and can be error-prone (if you forget programs, data or settings you need). The disadvantage of a fresh install is that you need to reinstall all programs, restore all your data, and go searching for any drivers or utilities that you need for your PC, but have long since forgotten about. In my opinion, some people overstate the risks of this, but a fresh install often takes less space than an update. One of my desktops is showing a few weird errors now, very occasionally, and I shall reinstall Windows from scratch when I get round to it (and have a whole day spare). Sometimes the rogue (that is, unwanted) code gets loaded every time Windows loads, taking up memory and possibly slowing down everything. This is often harmless (apart from taking up a bit of drive space) but sometimes causes rare and hard-to-trace bugs or crashes in Windows. When programs are installed, updated (often multiple times) and maybe removed, sometimes mistakes are made by the installer, and rogue code or data are left. ![]() However, Windows installations (Windows code plus all the programs you install) tend to get a bit corrupted over time. That's usually easiest and usually works. When you do an upgrade, it installs the new Windows software but keeps all your data and programs. So you think a fresh install gives a cleaner result than an upgrade? I'd be curious why that would be so, not that I am disagreeing. ![]() IIRC, you have up to a month to revert to Win10.
