Hi all, really need some help here. My laptop turns on but Windows won't boot. The sequence is: Dell logo, with "please wait" sign Choose your keyboard layout Choose an option > Troubleshoot OR Turn off your PC There is no "RESET MY PC" option at any point. I have tried all of the Troubleshoot options, including: System restore (no restore points available) Startup repair Uninstall updates ("We ran into a problem and won't be able to uninstall....") I created a bootable USB / installation media, clicked F12, selected boot from USB.... This leads me to the same menu above (only Troubleshoot OR Turn off your PC --- no option to Reset my PC). Any suggestions??? Diagnostics show terrible battery quality so I ordered a new one, but is the battery likely to be the full problem...? Thank you!

My registry looks like this ![](https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/d5e29f4f-fc14-4a95-a236-db8cd16ebf40?platform=QnA I will delete my extras to match yours to see if mine does the boot loop. If i were to guess we’ll need OOBEInProgress SetupSupported SystemPartition

Hello. Yes, the 3 registry settings are 0. Thank you.

And the 3 registry settings are 0? Can you snap a pic?

Yes. The cmdline is blank. And it's still stuck on boot loop 🥺 What to do next? Thank you so much.
