How to Fix Boot Problems Using a 2nd Computer
If you're having boot problems on a computer on your home network, you can use a second computer along with the Windows "Remote Desktop Connection" feature to fix these problems. Once you access the problematic computer remotely, you can then use Windows' native "MSconfig" tool to manage the boot process of that troubled machine and get it back up and running again the way it should be.

Click "Startup." This tab will show you all of the programs loading on startup. These programs load automatically during the boot process, so any problems you're experiencing during a boot likely come from one of these utilities. Click "Disable All" and then "OK." This will make sure that only those programs that are required to load Windows will load on startup.
