To Access the Recovery Screen (System Repair Options)

If Windows isn’t starting properly, try the built-in recovery tools:

Option 1: Using F9

1. Restart your computer.

2. As soon as it starts booting up, press the F9 key repeatedly until the Recovery screen appears.

3. Follow the on-screen options to repair, reset, or restore your PC.

   Note: If F9 doesn’t work, make sure the system is fully restarted (not from Sleep or Hibernate) and try again.

Option 2: From Windows

1. Go to Settings → System → Recovery.

2. Under Advanced Startup, click Restart now.

3. When the blue menu appears, select Troubleshoot → Advanced Options.

Notes

• The ESC and F9 keys may vary slightly by model — if they don’t work, try tapping them right after pressing the power button.

• If the system still won’t enter BIOS or Recovery, unplug any external devices and try again.
