denacrump00:
windows 10 hp from windows 7
Followed all suggested steps scans backups etc
started repair from safe mode
ran over 18hrs followed instruction on site to reboot
rebooted
windows failed to boot
safe mode failed
start up repair failed
command prompt
c and d switched
used disk part to switch back
used to fix/repair now says boot to c
however still unable to boot
do not have iso
ran all chckdisk fine
sfc/scannow system repair pending
deleted pending from registry
dism /image:C:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions does nothing
del C:\windows\winsxs\pending.xml file not found
del c:\windows\winsxs\cleanup.xml file not found
still says repair pending when I try to run sfc/scannow
still unable to boot to windows or safe mode
removed d from volume 1 (system)also active
volume 2 C active
rebuild bcd
total installations 0
fixmbr
fixboot
still nothing
boots to windows10 screen spins
flashes
back to windows10 screen spins indefinitely
can only access command prompt from hp repair/recover
Is the system repair pending keeping me from booting to windows?
Ive been googling for days to fix it, nothing seems to interrupt the pending repair, and rebooting just spins at windows 10 screen indefinitely...
There is no pending in re gistry either to delete, dism fails,
can I download the iso to a memory card without the media creation tool
will an hp windows 7 clean image option delete 400gb of files?
Do I try to start backing up to an external drive?
please help!

I don't know why WR should have had that effect on your machine, but there is a manual fix to the "pending" but not sure why you are getting the "not found" for the pending.xml

If you are using a recovery disk then you should be using the x:>sources cmd prompt which is where these cmds should be executed from.

c:

cd C:\windows\winsxs

ren pending.xml pending.old

regedit

Highlight HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - click on File - Load Hive

When that opens browse to C:\windows\system32

Locate the following folder - C:\windows\system32\config\components and click on to select.

When you are prompted for a name, type offline_components

You will now see the key offline_components - expand the + then locate and delete the following subkeys -

HKLM\Offline Components\AdvancedInstallerNeedResolving

HKLM\Offline Components\PendingXmlIdentifier

Go back to the key Offline_Components - highlight it then go to File menu and select Unload Hive

Close up the registry sections and reboot.

After doing that, so my notes say, run a cmd prompt as an admin and enter -

net stop wuauserv

cd %systemroot%

ren SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

net start wuauserv

That ren cmd will remove your Windows Update history but that will soon repopulate with subsequent updates.

I do not have a repair disk. I am trying get my hands on one. As for now its just command prompt and yes it starts as x:\. I am sorry I am not quite a noob, but I am learning as I go.

Boggin:
Did you create a Win 10 bootable disk ?

denacrump00:
No, I thought I had, but I obviously got distracted. Figures. I am trying to get a friend to make one for me.
