Windows 11 keeps rebooting (I am tired)

I have followed every single step on the internet about Windows 11 constantly rebooting and it still doing it. I wanted to revert back to Windows 10 (as it was an upgrade from Windows 10) and I am no longer able to do it. I don't want to lose my data as it was years' worth of collecting, documents, pictures, games, applications, saved work, you name it.

I am stuck now. System Restore point only have for yesterday where I attempted to remove and install GPU drivers. It just keeps on rebooting. I have did scan, I have checked for memory, I have checked for CPU over heating..just so you know that this is a brand new computer only five month old maximum, it have a water cooling for CPU cooling and it is not overclocked at all.

This is my computer spec:

Can you boot into Windows 11?

Yes. It just randomly reboots as if it have episodes. You just don't know when it will happen.

Check the Event Viewer and check and see if there is blue screen memory dump files in C:\Windows\MiniDump folder.

Here's why Kernel Power Error 41 happens and how to fix it.

After 3-4 failed attempts to start Windows (just press the reset button or turn off/on) you should see "Please wait..." and then the option to continue or troubleshoot. Select Troubleshhot and then Advanced Startup. The computer will restart and give you a list of options. Select Safe Mode. From here you can backup your data. If the cause is a faulty driver, load Device Manager, find the respective device and press DEL to uninstall it. If prompted check the box to delete the faulty driver to prevent from reinstalling automatically. If the cause was some Windows Update try uninstalling the latest updates. Then restart and see if you can start in normal mode.

I don't think event ID 10016 will cause reboots but if you want to you can fix DistributedCOM Event ID 10016 error in Windows 11.

Right-click on the start button and open a Command Prompt or Terminal or Powershell as Administrator. Then execute sfc /scannow to fix any system file errors.

My system did a scan at reboot......right now....as I was trying to paste the pictures in the forum. I have done sfc /scannow before and it didn't fix it.

You stated this, "I don't want to lose my data as it was years' worth of collecting, documents, pictures, games, applications, saved work, you name it."

Do you have backups of your data? This is vitally important!

If by chance you have enabled System Restore there might be a restore point to go back. Usually only recent points are displayed, but if you click on show more you get some older points (if any).

I am going to have to install windows 10 fresh install again. How do I do a backup using windows 11 all my applications and data that when I go back to windows 10 I just restore them and all return back to normal, all installed applications, all my datas return back to normal? Because I cannot revert back to windows 10 (by the way it just rebooted right now and restart right now while I was busy putting food for the cat). I need a fresh brand-new installation of windows 10 wiping everything clean. I am not going to use windows 11 again if I can help it.

There is no restore point for me. Only yesterday and that is because I attempted uninstall and reinstall of the driver.

You can also try repair install if you want.

In this video, i will show you how to repair install of Windows 11 by performing an in-place upgrade without losing anything.

I am going to follow your instruction and do this. I pray this will fix it. THIS is literally my last resort.

Good luck!

Using a computer for years with no data backups certainly does require lots of luck.

I have followed the sintruction till the end and a did an install of windows 11 again. I pray this solves it. By the way, how do I get rid of this annoying prompt message?

It is not resolved until a week pass and it doesn't reboot. I will keep you posted.

It's a shame that so many people don't value their data enough to back it up before it's too late. I hope the repair install works for @xboxown.
