Won't Successfully Boot ; Last Known Good Configuration

[MasterEvilAce]

Those two IE8 patches from Windows Update seemed to really kill my system. I don't even use IE.

I installed the patch, restarted, and my computer would not boot. Random services / processes would crash followed by WerFault crashing... I went into safe mode and system a system restore, and I thought all was good.

But now, I have to continually choose to use last known good configuration from the boot options to get into windows. If I don't, it'll proceed to crash. Is there any way to make windows use the LKGC as my current config??

Hello MasterEvilAce,

You may need to do a Repair Install instead to see if it can fix this.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

I am having the same issue. I have to hit F8 to go to advanced options and choose last known good (advanced) and it boots fine, but if I reboot it still locks up. any way to take the "last known" and save as current? I have tried the repair install to no effect, well it seemed to actually lock up quicker after the the repair. :-| I would have thought a normal shutdown would save the configuration.

Can you do a system restore to an earlier date once you're logged in successfully?

Did you run Repair Install or Startup Repair? Try both.

I ran the start up 4 times in a row and it seems to be booting stable for now. I have actually been lurking in the froum for a while, just joined and asked my first question. Thanks all.
