infinite reboot

About this tag
The infinite reboot tag covers Windows boot-loop scenarios where the system repeatedly restarts without reaching the desktop. Common causes include failed Windows recovery attempts, driver or hardware changes, and problematic software installations. Users often cannot access advanced boot options or Safe Mode through normal methods. Troubleshooting steps discussed include forcing entry into recovery environment via power button interrupts, using system restore, and checking BIOS settings like AHCI. The tag focuses on practical solutions for breaking the reboot cycle and restoring normal boot functionality.
