If you are experiencing difficulty accessing the desktop GUI on your Windows system despite trying various safe mode and repair mode options, there are a few additional steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue: 1. Check for System File Corruption: - Run a System File Checker (SFC) scan to check for and repair corrupted system files. You can do this by opening a Command Prompt as an administrator and running the following command:

 sfc /scannow

2. Check Disk for Errors: - Apart from running CHKDSK, you can also try using the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool to repair the Windows image. - Open a Command Prompt as an administrator and run the following commands:

 DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

3. Boot Configuration Data (BCD) Repair: - You can attempt to repair the Boot Configuration Data using the following commands in Command Prompt (admin):

 bootrec /ScanOS bootrec /RebuildBCD

4. Check for Recent Changes: - Consider if any recent changes or installations might have caused the issue. If so, try to revert those changes. 5. System Restore from Installation Media: - If there are no restore points set on your system, you can try to perform a System Restore using Windows installation media. Boot from the installation media, select "Repair your computer," and choose the System Restore option. 6. Update Device Drivers: - Outdated or incompatible device drivers can also cause issues. Ensure your drivers are up-to-date. 7. Perform a Repair Install: - If all else fails, you may need to consider a repair install of Windows. This process keeps your files and applications intact while repairing the system files. If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be beneficial to seek further assistance or consider more advanced troubleshooting options.
