About this tag
Discussions tagged with startup restart on WindowsForum.com focus on boot loop scenarios where a Windows PC repeatedly restarts or returns to the boot device selection screen instead of loading the operating system. Common causes include corrupted system files, missing or damaged boot media, and improper BIOS/UEFI settings. Users seek troubleshooting steps such as repairing the Master Boot Record, checking hard drive connections, or reinstalling Windows. The tag covers issues like the 'checking media' message and infinite restart cycles, often requiring recovery tools or installation media to resolve.
