Re-installing Windows 10 after a major crash

After a major crash or system problem (e.g. system thread exception not handled), you will get the Windows 10 BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). See the example screenshots in:

If the disk is not too damaged, Windows will automatically reboot into the Windows Recovery Environment and display a Recovery screen (see screenshot of Solution 4) or Réparation Automatique screen.

Select Advanced options and then Troubleshoot (or Dépannage).

You can then choose between:

a complete Reset of Windows 10
or additional Advanced options that may help you save the PC
- Booting in Safe mode is available in the Startup settings (Paramètres) option
- You can also restore your system in a previous state if you created a system restore point or a recovery drive
