Occasionally my HTPC gets bogged down doing something and in frustration the less technical of the household may choose to press the tempting reset button to get things going again. Occasionally this upsets Windows 7 which attempts to launch “startup repair”. Despite the name, ‘startup repair’ has never repaired any startup problems for me, but instead often causes problems by changing settings or replacing files I don’t want replaced. So, I’ve decided to disable it
Disabling is surprisingly easy. Open an administrative command prompt (click start, type cmd, right click on the top option that appears and select “run as administrator”)
run this command: bcdedit /set {default} bootstatuspolicy ignoreallfailures
To restore startup repair run bcdedit /set {default} bootstatuspolicy displayallfailures
