Unable to Restart after Quarantine


Recommended Posts

Thanks for that log, we are back to same place. All entries correct except for Useinit, that cannot be restored. I want you to access regedit via recovery environment, process is similar to what you have been doing so I think you will be ok.... Back shortly, need to compile the correct script for you to follow....

From that Window select "Command Prompt"

  • In the command window type in regedit and press Enter.
  • The registry editor opens.
  • Expand the following key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
  • Double click direct on Winlogon
  • Look to the right pane you will see the entry "Userinit" you should see this value under the "Data" column C:\Windows\System32\Userinit, Note the comma after Userinit
  • If the value is different "Right" click on "Userinit" and select "modify"
  • In the new box change value to C:\Windows\System32\Userinit, select ok and close out regedit (Make sure to include the comma after Userinit)


You should now be back to Command Prompt.... type exit, hit enter then reboot...

Apologies, I should have made you aware of the format shown from the Recovery Environment. X:\ is what you see, not C:\  The userinit value in your screenshot is correct. That makes it really difficult. Userinit is not loading, hence it will not boot correctly, as the value is correct it tends to indicate registry damage. That will not be applicable to Malwarebytes, it does not make such changes where damage is possible...

Have you tried booting your system to Safemode...?

Do you have an Installation DVD or USB for Windows 10...?

Have you tried the Refresh from the recovery environment, that option reinstalls windows but keeps personal stuff safe...

Or you can use Ubuntu to recover from an unbootable system...
