Please help I am stuck at blue screen because windows 11 won't boot up, no matter what I do.
Hey everyone, I really messed up and need some advice.
HP Victus
Windows 11
I was trying a networking tweak I saw online to fix lag and changed the NetworkThrottlingIndex value to ffffffff in the registry. Right after doing it, my laptop randomly froze, got super hot, and instantly shut itself off (pretty sure it hit a thermal limit and pulled the plug).
Now, it’s stuck in an endless Automatic Repair blue screen loop. I can't even boot into safe mode and windows won't even do automatic repair. For a few times before this it got stuck on black screen after showing welcome but now it's completely stuck on blue screen.
Here is where things stand right now:
I can't use "Reset This PC"—it just throws an error immediately and says no changes were made.
I ran the hardware diagnostics via the F2 menu at boot, and everything PASSED. My processor, fans, and SSD are completely fine physically.
I managed to open Notepad through the Command Prompt file picker to check my drive, and my entire user folder is still there under C:\\Users\\. So my data isn't wiped, it's just trapped.
The SrtTrail.txt log file is completely empty, so Windows isn't even logging why it's failing to boot.
Is there any way to fix this or did i completely messed up, I changed the value back to a through command prompt in troubleshoot but still windows isn't loading. What should I do? The image is what I revert back to no matter what I try.
