### Method 1: Startup Repair tool
The Startup Repair tool automatically fixes many common problems. The tool also lets you quickly diagnose and repair more complex startup problems. When the computer detects a startup problem, the computer starts the Startup Repair tool. When the tool starts, it performs diagnostics. These diagnostics include analyzing startup log files to determine the cause of the problem. When the Startup Repair tool determines the cause, the tool tries to fix the problem automatically.
To do this task of invoking the Startup Repair tool, follow these steps.

# Manage Windows 10 in your organization - transitioning to modern management
Use of personal devices for work, and employees working outside the office, may be changing how your organization manages devices. Certain parts of your organization might require deep, granular control over devices, while other parts might seek lighter, scenario-based management that empowers the modern workforce. Windows 10 offers the flexibility to respond to these changing requirements, and can easily be deployed in a mixed environment. You can shift the percentage of Windows 10 devices gradually, following the normal upgrade schedules used in your organization.
Your organization might have considered bringing in Windows 10 devices and downgrading them to Windows 7 until everything is in place for a formal upgrade process. While this downgrade may appear to save costs due to standardization, greater savings can come from avoiding the downgrade and immediately taking advantage of the cost reductions Windows 10 can provide. Because Windows 10 devices can be managed using the same processes and technology as other previous Windows versions, it’s easy for versions to coexist.
Your organization might have considered bringing in Windows 10 devices and downgrading them to an earlier version of Windows until everything is in place for a formal upgrade process. While this downgrade may appear to save costs due to standardization, greater savings can come from avoiding the downgrade and immediately taking advantage of the cost reductions Windows 10 can provide. Because Windows 10 devices can be managed using the same processes and technology as other previous Windows versions, it's easy for versions to coexist.
Your organization can support various operating systems across a wide range of device types, and manage them through a common set of tools such as Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, Microsoft Intune, or other third-party products. This “managed diversity” enables you to empower your users to benefit from the productivity enhancements available on their new Windows 10 devices (including rich touch and ink support), while still maintaining your standards for security and manageability. It can help you and your organization benefit from Windows 10 much faster.

## Reviewing the management options with Windows 10
Windows 10 offers a range of management options, as shown in the following diagram:
<img src="images/windows-10-management-range-of-options.png" alt="The path to modern IT" width="766" height="654" />
:::image type="content" source="images/windows-10-management-range-of-options.png" alt-text="Diagram of the path to modern IT." lightbox="images/windows-10-management-range-of-options.png":::
As indicated in the diagram, Microsoft continues to provide support for deep manageability and security through technologies like Group Policy, Active Directory, and Microsoft Configuration Manager. It also delivers a “mobile-first, cloud-first” approach of simplified, modern management using cloud-based device management solutions such as Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS). Future Windows innovations, delivered through Windows as a Service, are complemented by cloud services like Microsoft Intune, Azure Active Directory, Azure Information Protection, Office 365, and the Microsoft Store for Business.

## Deployment and Provisioning
## Deployment and provisioning
With Windows 10, you can continue to use traditional OS deployment, but you can also “manage out of the box.” To transform new devices into fully configured, fully managed devices, you can:
With Windows 10, you can continue to use traditional OS deployment, but you can also "manage out of the box." To transform new devices into fully configured, fully managed devices, you can:
- Avoid reimaging by using dynamic provisioning, enabled by a cloud-based device management service such as [Windows Autopilot](/mem/autopilot/windows-autopilot) or [Microsoft Intune](/mem/intune/fundamentals/).
- Avoid reimaging by using dynamic provisioning, enabled by a cloud-based device management services such as [Microsoft Autopilot](/windows/deployment/windows-10-auto-pilot) or [Microsoft Intune](/mem/intune/fundamentals/).
- Create self-contained provisioning packages built with the Windows Configuration Designer. For more information, see [Provisioning packages for Windows](/windows/configuration/provisioning-packages/provisioning-packages).
- Create self-contained provisioning packages built with the [Windows Configuration Designer](/windows/configuration/provisioning-packages/provisioning-packages).
- Use traditional imaging techniques such as deploying custom images using [Configuration Manager](/mem/configmgr/core/understand/introduction).
- Use traditional imaging techniques such as deploying custom images using [Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager](/configmgr/core/understand/introduction).
You have multiple options for [upgrading to Windows 10](/windows/deployment/windows-10-deployment-scenarios). For existing devices running Windows 8.1, you can use the robust in-place upgrade process for a fast, reliable move to Windows 10 while automatically preserving all the existing apps, data, and settings. This process usage can mean lower deployment costs, and improved productivity as end users can be immediately productive - everything is right where they left it. You can also use a traditional wipe-and-load approach if you prefer, using the same tools that you use today.

## Identity and authentication
## Identity and Authentication
You can use Windows 10 and services like [Azure Active Directory](/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/active-directory-whatis) in new ways for cloud-based identity, authentication, and management. You can offer your users the ability to **“bring your own device” (BYOD)** or to **“choose your own device” (CYOD)** from a selection you make available. At the same time, you might be managing PCs and tablets that must be domain-joined because of specific applications or resources that are used on them.

You can envision user and device management as falling into these two categories:
- **Corporate (CYOD) or personal (BYOD) devices used by mobile users for SaaS apps such as Office 365.** With Windows 10, your employees can self-provision their devices:
- **Corporate (CYOD) or personal (BYOD) devices used by mobile users for SaaS apps such as Office 365.** With Windows 10, your employees can self-provision their devices:
- For corporate devices, they can set up corporate access with [Azure AD Join](/azure/active-directory/devices/overview). When you offer them Azure AD Join with automatic Intune MDM enrollment, they can bring devices into a corporate-managed state in [*one step*](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-active-directory-identity/windows-10-azure-ad-and-microsoft-intune-automatic-mdm/ba-p/244067), all from the cloud.<br>Azure AD Join is also a great solution for temporary staff, partners, or other part-time employees. These accounts can be kept separate from the on-premises AD domain but still access needed corporate resources.

- **Domain joined PCs and tablets used for traditional applications and access to important resources.** These applications and resources may be traditional ones that require authentication or accessing highly sensitive or classified resources on-premises.
With Windows 10, if you have an on-premises [Active Directory](/windows-server/identity/whats-new-active-directory-domain-services) domain that’s [integrated with Azure AD](/azure/active-directory/devices/hybrid-azuread-join-plan), when employee devices are joined, they automatically register with Azure AD. This registration provides:

## Settings and Configuration
## Settings and configuration
Your configuration requirements are defined by multiple factors, including the level of management needed, the devices and data managed, and your industry requirements. Meanwhile, employees are frequently concerned about IT applying strict policies to their personal devices, but they still want access to corporate email and documents. With Windows 10, you can create a consistent set of configurations across PCs, tablets, and phones through the common MDM layer.

Meanwhile, employees are frequently concerned about IT applying strict policies to their personal devices, but they still want access to corporate email and documents. With Windows 10, you can create a consistent set of configurations across PCs, tablets, and phones through the common MDM layer.
**MDM**: [MDM](https://www.microsoft.com/cloud-platform/mobile-device-management) gives you a way to configure settings that achieve your administrative intent without exposing every possible setting. (In contrast, Group Policy exposes fine-grained settings that you control individually.) One benefit of MDM is that it enables you to apply broader privacy, security, and application management settings through lighter and more efficient tools. MDM also allows you to target Internet-connected devices to manage policies without using GP that requires on-premises domain-joined devices. This provision makes MDM the best choice for devices that are constantly on the go.

## Updating and servicing
## Updating and Servicing
With Windows as a Service, your IT department no longer needs to perform complex imaging (wipe-and-load) processes with each new Windows release. Whether on current branch (CB) or current branch for business (CBB), devices receive the latest feature and quality updates through simple - often automatic - patching processes. For more information, see [Windows 10 deployment scenarios](/windows/deployment/windows-10-deployment-scenarios).

## Next steps
There are various steps you can take to begin the process of modernizing device management in your organization:
**Assess current management practices, and look for investments you might make today.** Which of your current practices need to stay the same, and which can you change? Specifically, what elements of traditional management do you need to retain and where can you modernize? Whether you take steps to minimize custom imaging, re-evaluate settings management, or reassesses authentication and compliance, the benefits can be immediate. You can use the [MDM Migration Analysis Tool (MMAT)](https://aka.ms/mmat) to help determine which Group Policies are set for a target user/computer and cross-reference them against the list of available MDM policies.

Specifically, what elements of traditional management do you need to retain and where can you modernize? Whether you take steps to minimize custom imaging, reevaluate settings management, or reassesses authentication and compliance, the benefits can be immediate. You can use [Group policy analytics in Microsoft Endpoint Manager](/mem/intune/configuration/group-policy-analytics) to help determine which group policies supported by cloud-based MDM providers, including Microsoft Intune.
**Assess the different use cases and management needs in your environment.** Are there groups of devices that could benefit from lighter, simplified management? BYOD devices, for example, are natural candidates for cloud-based management. Users or devices handling more highly regulated data might require an on-premises Active Directory domain for authentication. Configuration Manager and EMS provide you the flexibility to stage implementation of modern management scenarios while targeting different devices the way that best suits your business needs.
**Review the decision trees in this article.** With the different options in Windows 10, plus Configuration Manager and Enterprise Mobility + Security, you have the flexibility to handle imaging, authentication, settings, and management tools for any scenario.
**Take incremental steps.** Moving towards modern device management doesn’t have to be an overnight transformation. New operating systems and devices can be brought in while older ones remain. With this “managed diversity,” users can benefit from productivity enhancements on new Windows 10 devices, while you continue to maintain older devices according to your standards for security and manageability. Starting with Windows 10, version 1803, the new policy [MDMWinsOverGP](./mdm/policy-csp-controlpolicyconflict.md#controlpolicyconflict-mdmwinsovergp) was added to allow MDM policies to take precedence over GP when both GP and its equivalent MDM policies are set on the device. You can start implementing MDM policies while keeping your GP environment. Here's the list of MDM policies with equivalent GP - [Policies supported by GP](./mdm/policy-configuration-service-provider.md)

With this "managed diversity," users can benefit from productivity enhancements on new Windows 10 devices, while you continue to maintain older devices according to your standards for security and manageability.

You can start implementing MDM policies while keeping your group policy environment. For more information, including the list of MDM policies with equivalent group policies, see [Policies supported by group policy](./mdm/policy-configuration-service-provider.md).
**Optimize your existing investments**. On the road from traditional on-premises management to modern cloud-based management, take advantage of the flexible, hybrid architecture of Configuration Manager and Intune. Co-management enables you to concurrently manage Windows 10 devices by using both Configuration Manager and Intune. For more information, see the following articles:

## Learn about migrating to MDM
When an organization wants to move to MDM to manage devices, they should prepare by analyzing their current Group Policy settings to see what they need to transition to MDM management. Microsoft created the [MDM Migration Analysis Tool](https://aka.ms/mmat/) (MMAT) to help. MMAT determines which Group Policies have been set for a target user or computer and then generates a report that lists the level of support for each policy setting in MDM equivalents. For more information, see [MMAT Instructions](https://github.com/WindowsDeviceManagement/MMAT/blob/master/MDM%20Migration%20Analysis%20Tool%20Instructions.pdf).

###### Windows Defender Firewall
Windows Defender Firewall now supports Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) processes. You can add specific rules for a WSL process just as you would for any Windows process. Also, Windows Defender Firewall now supports notifications for WSL processes. For example, when a Linux tool wants to allow access to a port from the outside (like SSH or a web server like nginx), Windows Defender Firewall will prompt to allow access just like it would for a Windows process when the port starts accepting connections. This was first introduced in [Build 17627](/windows/wsl/release-notes#build-17618-skip-ahead).

#### Windows Defender Credential Guard
Windows Defender Credential Guard is a security service in Windows 10 built to protect Active Directory (AD) domain credentials so that they can't be stolen or misused by malware on a user's machine. It is designed to protect against well-known threats such as Pass-the-Hash and credential harvesting.

It's designed to protect against well-known threats such as Pass-the-Hash and credential harvesting.
Windows Defender Credential Guard has always been an optional feature, but Windows 10 in S mode turns this functionality on by default when the machine has been Azure Active Directory joined. This provides an added level of security when connecting to domain resources not normally present on devices running Windows 10 in S mode.

### MBR2GPT.EXE
MBR2GPT.EXE is a new command-line tool introduced with Windows 10, version 1703 and also available in Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 (and later versions). MBR2GPT converts a disk from Master Boot Record (MBR) to GUID Partition Table (GPT) partition style without modifying or deleting data on the disk. The tool is designed to be run from a Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) command prompt, but can also be run from the full Windows 10 operating system (OS).

The tool runs from a Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) command prompt, but can also run from the full Windows 10 operating system.
The GPT partition format is newer and enables the use of larger and more disk partitions. It also provides added data reliability, supports additional partition types, and enables faster boot and shutdown speeds. If you convert the system disk on a computer from MBR to GPT, you must also configure the computer to boot in UEFI mode, so make sure that your device supports UEFI before attempting to convert the system disk.

### Upgrade Readiness
>[!IMPORTANT]
>Upgrade Readiness will not allow you to assess an upgrade to an LTSC release (LTSC builds are not available as target versions). However, you can enroll devices running LTSC to plan for an upgrade to a General Availability Channel release.
Upgrade Readiness helps you ensure that applications and drivers are ready for a Windows 10 upgrade. The solution provides up-to-date application and driver inventory, information about known issues, troubleshooting guidance, and per-device readiness and tracking details. The Upgrade Readiness tool moved from public preview to general availability on March 2, 2017.
The development of Upgrade Readiness has been heavily influenced by input from the community the development of new features is ongoing. To begin using Upgrade Readiness, add it to an existing Operation Management Suite (OMS) workspace or sign up for a new OMS workspace with the Upgrade Readiness solution enabled.
For more information about Upgrade Readiness, see the following topics:
- [Windows Analytics blog](/archive/blogs/upgradeanalytics/)
- [Manage Windows upgrades with Upgrade Readiness](/windows/deployment/upgrade/manage-windows-upgrades-with-upgrade-readiness)
Upgrade Readiness provides insights into application and driver compatibility issues. New capabilities include better app coverage, post-upgrade health reports, and enhanced report filtering capabilities.

### New MDM capabilities
Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 adds many new [configuration service providers (CSPs)](/windows/configuration/provisioning-packages/how-it-pros-can-use-configuration-service-providers) that provide new capabilities for managing Windows 10 devices using MDM or provisioning packages. Among other things, these CSPs enable you to configure a few hundred of the most useful Group Policy settings via MDM - see [Policy CSP - ADMX-backed policies](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-configuration-service-provider).

Some of the other new CSPs are:
- The [DynamicManagement CSP](/windows/client-management/mdm/dynamicmanagement-csp) allows you to manage devices differently depending on location, network, or time. For example, managed devices can have cameras disabled when at a work location, the cellular service can be disabled when outside the country to avoid roaming charges, or the wireless network can be disabled when the device is not within the corporate building or campus. Once configured, these settings will be enforced even if the device can’t reach the management server when the location or network changes. The Dynamic Management CSP enables configuration of policies that change how the device is managed in addition to setting the conditions on which the change occurs.

In Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019, we continue our work to improve the diagnostic experience for modern management. By introducing auto-logging for mobile devices, Windows will automatically collect logs when encountering an error in MDM, eliminating the need to have always-on logging for memory-constrained devices. Additionally, we are introducing [Microsoft Message Analyzer](/message-analyzer/microsoft-message-analyzer-operating-guide) as an additional tool to help Support personnel quickly reduce issues to their root cause, while saving time and cost.

### Application Virtualization for Windows (App-V)
Previous versions of the Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer (App-V Sequencer) have required you to manually create your sequencing environment. Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 introduces two new PowerShell cmdlets, New-AppVSequencerVM and Connect-AppvSequencerVM, which automatically create your sequencing environment for you, including provisioning your virtual machine. Additionally, the App-V Sequencer has been updated to let you sequence or update multiple apps at the same time, while automatically capturing and storing your customizations as an App-V project template (.appvt) file, and letting you use PowerShell or Group Policy settings to automatically clean up your unpublished packages after a device restart.

#### How it works
Users attempt to connect to a Miracast receiver as they did previously. When the list of Miracast receivers is populated, Windows 10 will identify that the receiver is capable of supporting a connection over the infrastructure. When the user selects a Miracast receiver, Windows 10 will attempt to resolve the device's hostname via standard DNS, as well as via multicast DNS (mDNS). If the name is not resolvable via either DNS method, Windows 10 will fall back to establishing the Miracast session using the standard Wi-Fi direct connection.

If you have a device that has been updated to Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019, then you automatically have this new feature. To take advantage of it in your environment, you need to make sure the following requirement exist within your deployment:
- The device (PC or Surface Hub) needs to be running Windows 10, version 1703, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019, or a later OS.
- A Windows PC or Surface Hub can act as a Miracast over Infrastructure *receiver*. A Windows device can act as a Miracast over Infrastructure *source*.
- As a Miracast receiver, the PC or Surface Hub must be connected to your enterprise network via either Ethernet or a secure Wi-Fi connection (e.g. using either WPA2-PSK or WPA2-Enterprise security). If the Hub is connected to an open Wi-Fi connection, Miracast over Infrastructure will disable itself.

For example, using either WPA2-PSK or WPA2-Enterprise security. If the Hub is connected to an open Wi-Fi connection, Miracast over Infrastructure will disable itself.
- As a Miracast source, the device must be connected to the same enterprise network via Ethernet or a secure Wi-Fi connection.
- The DNS Hostname (device name) of the device needs to be resolvable via your DNS servers. You can achieve this by either allowing your device to register automatically via Dynamic DNS, or by manually creating an A or AAAA record for the device's hostname.
