System Use Startup Repair in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to use the Startup Repair tool to help fix common problems that can prevent Windows 11 from starting up.

The Startup Repair tool automatically fixes many common problems. The tool also lets you quickly diagnose and repair more complex startup problems. When the computer detects a startup problem, the computer starts the Startup Repair tool. When the tool starts, it performs diagnostics. These diagnostics include analyzing startup log files to determine the cause of the problem. When the Startup Repair tool determines the cause, the tool tries to fix the problem automatically.

The Startup Repair diagnosis and repair log file is located at: C:\Windows\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt
