- Boot in to the Windows installation media in order to access the recovery options
- For more information, see Microsoft's articles: Create installation media for Windows, and Windows startup settings
- Select Troubleshoot, then Command Prompt

- In the Command Prompt window, type
bcdedit
and hit Enter - To locate the drive letter of the Windows installation, verify the osdevice under Windows Boot Loader:

- Type
regedit
in the Command Prompt and hit Enter - Select
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
, then click File ▸ Load Hive...


- Navigate to the %systemroot%\System32\Config directory
- In this example it is
C:\Windows\System32\Config
- In this example it is
- Select the SYSTEM file and click Open

- Enter a key name, such as “test”, and click Ok
- The hive should successfully load
- Expand the loaded hive and navigate to ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager
- Double-click BootExecute, or right-click and select Modify

You should see something similar to the content below:

- Remove the line beginning with
aswBoot.exe
, leaving the other entries, and click Ok- In most cases, the user will only have autocheck autochk * in the Value data
