How to Solve Windows 10 Startup Repair Loop

  1. Boot into Safe Mode:
    • Start by attempting to boot your computer into Safe Mode, which loads only essential system files and drivers.
      • Power on your computer and repeatedly press the F8 key (or Shift + F8) before the Windows logo appears during startup. This may bring up the Advanced Boot Options menu.
      • From the Advanced Boot Options menu, select “Safe Mode” and press Enter.
      • If your computer boots into Safe Mode successfully, proceed to the next steps. If not, continue to the next step.
  2. Use Automatic Repair:
    • Windows 10 includes an Automatic Repair feature that can help fix startup issues automatically.
      • Restart your computer and repeatedly press the F8 key (or Shift + F8) before the Windows logo appears during startup to access the Advanced Boot Options menu.
      • Select “Repair your computer” from the menu and press Enter.
      • Choose “Troubleshoot” > “Advanced options” > “Startup Repair.”
      • Follow the on-screen instructions and allow Windows to attempt to repair the startup issue automatically.
  3. Check Disk for Errors:
    • If Automatic Repair doesn’t resolve the issue, you can check your disk for errors using the Command Prompt.
      • From the Advanced Boot Options menu, select “Command Prompt.”
      • In the Command Prompt window, type the following command and press Enter:
        bash
        chkdsk C: /f /r
      • Replace “C:” with the letter of your system drive if it’s different.
      • This command will check the disk for errors and attempt to fix them. It may take some time to complete.
  4. Use System Restore:
    • If you have previously created a System Restore point, you can use it to revert your computer to a previous working state.
      • From the Advanced Boot Options menu, select “System Restore” and follow the on-screen instructions to restore your system to a previous restore point.
  5. Reset or Refresh Windows:
    • If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you can try resetting or refreshing Windows.
      • From the Advanced Boot Options menu, select “Troubleshoot” > “Reset this PC” or “Refresh your PC.”
      • Follow the on-screen instructions to reset or refresh Windows. Note that this will remove all installed applications and settings, so be sure to back up your important files beforehand.
  6. Reinstall Windows:
    • As a last resort, you can perform a clean reinstall of Windows.
      • Create a Windows 10 installation media using a USB flash drive or DVD.
      • Boot your computer from the installation media and follow the on-screen instructions to reinstall Windows.

How to Use curl to Download Files from the Linux Command Line

The Linux curl command can do a whole lot more than download files. Find out what curl is capable of, and when you should use it instead of wget.

curl vs. wget : What’s the Difference?

People often struggle to identify the relative strengths of the wget and curl commands. The commands do have some functional overlap. They can each retrieve files from remote locations, but that’s where the similarity ends. wget is a fantastic tool for downloading content and files. It can download files, web pages, and directories. It contains intelligent routines to traverse links in web pages and recursively download content across an entire website. It is unsurpassed as a command-line download manager. curl satisfies an altogether different need.

Yes, it can retrieve files, but it cannot recursively navigate a website looking for content to retrieve. What curl actually does is let you interact with remote systems by making requests to those systems, and retrieving and displaying their responses to you. Those responses might well be web page content and files, but they can also contain data provided via a web service or API as a result of the “question” asked by the curl request.

And curl isn’t limited to websites. curl supports over 20 protocols, including HTTP, HTTPS, SCP, SFTP, and FTP. And arguably, due to its superior handling of Linux pipes, curl can be more easily integrated with other commands and scripts. The author of curl has a webpage that describes the differences he sees between curl and wget.

How to open Links in a specific Browser on a Mac

Velja is a browser and app picker that lets you open links in any web browser—or their corresponding desktop apps—on your Mac. Velja works by tricking macOS into believing it’s the default web browser on the system. This allows it to push the link you click on to the web browser or the app you choose in the Velja prompt. Or you can set up a rule so that it happens automatically.
