How To Fix The BOOTLOG_ENABLED Error

Reader Question:
“Hi Wally, My computer keeps restarting when I try to use it. It flashes a message on the screen saying BOOTLOG_ENABLED and then restarts again. Please help.“ - Katherine J., USA

Before addressing any computer issue, I always recommend scanning and repairing any underlying problems affecting your PC health and performance:

  • Step 1 : Download PC Repair & Optimizer Tool (WinThruster for Win 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP and 2000 – Microsoft Gold Certified).
  • Step 2 : Click “Start Scan” to find Windows registry issues that could be causing PC problems.
  • Step 3 : Click “Repair All” to fix all issues.

Setting up weekly (or daily) automatic scans will help prevent system problems and keep your PC running fast and trouble-free.

Wally’s Answer: The Bootlog_Enabled error appears when the computer starts. It crashes the computer and prevents Windows from loading. Blue screen errors like this can look a bit scary but don’t worry. Here will look at a few ways t deal with the problem.

Problem

The Bootlog_Enabled or STOP 0x000000B7 error appears and the computer restarts. The bootlog is a list of programs that load when the computer boots or starts.

Cause

The Bootlog_Enabled error is caused by problems in the computer’s registry. Corrupt or damaged files can also cause this error to occur. Incompletely installing or uninstalling programs can cause this problem as well. System files are also accidentally deleted by users when removing viruses. System files can go missing when they are deleted by the anti-virus when a virus cannot be removed from it.

Solution

The Bootlog_Enabled error can be solved using the following steps:

Use System Restore

The System Restore feature can be used to bring the computer back to a previous state in time. This can be used to recover configuration and system files. Click here on how to use system restore.

Last known Good Configuration

You can try loading the Last Known Good Configuration of Windows and hope that Windows will start normally. This only works on computers running Windows 7 or older versions. This option is available on the Advanced Boot Options screen (shown below) which should appear when the computer crashes.

Use A Good Registry Cleaner

The Windows registry is a huge database that stores data and all configurations on Windows. From software to hardware, it has an entry for everything that runs on the computer. Windows registry errors can cause a lot of problems including blue screen errors like this.

Scan your computer with a trusted registry cleaning software like WinThruster to make it run smoothly. WinThruster also performs regular maintenance tasks and backs up the registry before changing it.

For added safety, please perform a system restore before scanning your computer’s registry.

Clean Windows Install

If nothing else works then perform a clean install of Windows. Always make sure to copy all important data before trying to reinstall Windows on a computer. If Windows won’t start, then you can copy data using a Linux Boot DVD or USB. You can also backup all of the data to a USB storage device using a bootable backup solution.

Is Your PC Healthy?

I always recommend to my readers to regularly use a trusted registry cleaner and optimizer such as WinThruster or CCleaner. Many problems that you encounter can be attributed to a corrupt and bloated registry.

Happy Computing! :)
