I can't tell you how grateful I am that you took the time and effort to make this video for the general public, without expecting anything in return :) i had resigned myself to losing my data and resetting my PC, but i found this video, and thought you seemed very friendly and very knowledgeable so i gave all your suggestions a try. it actually was literally the final one that worked for me and fixed the problem - disabling driver signature enforcement. i just wanted to say i'm really appreciative that people like you make the effort to help people you'll never meet - that's the way the world should work, us helping one another out. my sincere gratitude to you my friend.
It's funny how every place I've visited thus far for this issue, when ever there's a command they say "here's the command to copy and paste" You realise you just told me to copy paste a command to fix and issue that doesnt let me boot my computer, right?
I'm surprised to have been faced with this issue on a new Dell XPS 15 in 2020. I tried every single option in the "choose an option" menu, and even Dell support couldn't help me. The first fix in this video did the job perfectly, I wish I had come across this video first. Thanks! :)
Thanks Bri, I have used this successfully on a number of occasions. Sadly I have also found that it doesn’t work the majority of time for me, although I appreciate that’s not your fault 😂😂. Just as a matter of fact, I have been fixing PCs for many years and have found Windows 10 to be the most unstable operating system I have ever worked with. The sheer amount of bsod faults that come to me following a Windows update is staggering. Microsoft in my opinion, seem to have lost the plot and I can’t understand why there haven’t been masses of class action lawsuits. How many people globally have woke up one morning to find their machine has updated and broken in the process. It’s mind boggling how like others have said, we are still seeing this in 2020. I also use an iMac and although Apple are also having their issues, my 2011 iMac has run for nearly 10 years without a single crash. If I could I would ditch Windows altogether.
If you pay for it you can be entitled all you want. This just happened to me while I had to buy another hdd, only for it to crash after having ONLY an AntiVirus and the graphics card. So yeah, windows sucks ass
@@Acypto well, no. linux distro's don''t really crash like this and if it does the fix could be a simple: sysreq REISUB. but i have not had a single kernel panic since i installed linux, windows however crashes frequently and it is considered "normal behaviour and happens from time to time".
I followed all the steps given, and it wasn't until after I enabled safe mode with networking, and then did disable driver signature enforcement that I got the pc to boot. Great video!!! Very helpful!!!
Thank you very much you saved me a bunch of neurons. You were simple and went straight to the point, that is what people in trouble need. Thank you again.
Thank you for the help. Error 0xc000021a came up after a system restore. I followed all your instructions up to Startup Setting number 7 then a low res blue screen system restore became available. The system restore Undo took a long time. I was happy to wake up to a successful restore. I have subscribed to your channel, Britec09. Thanks again!
I CANT EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE ENOUGH!!!!! I FIXED IT!!!! Now to my experience: I would simply turn off my pc using switch on the power block, and this morning something broke in the system because of it I suspect. So I wasted the whole morning tryign to fix it so I wil just say this, make sure it's not saying "volume is system reserved", chose the second one like D even if you actually have D volume you use, and the importantly type /image:d:\ instead of c, and sure enough it worked after waiting for some 15 seconds, that's how you know something is going on! Huge thanks!
The fact that my doing a system restore back to May 1, 2020... only 3 days later on May 4, 2020; shouldn't have caused all this! What drivers, updates, etc. could I have possibly undone and made my computer unstable in just 3 lousy days? This is maddening!

@@raturiskyaifah2238 go to troubleshoot > reset this pc, and it'll give you the option to keep your personal files and reinstall windows or remove all files and reinstall windows
Thank you. Actually I didn't do it with what you showed but still. For the people who can't start automatic repair do this. 1) Get empty usb and download windows 10 media creation tool on another PC. 2) It will take a while to download but when you are ready take the usb and put it in the PC that makes the problem. 3) Start the PC and press F2 or whatever button you need to press to get to the BIOS. 4) Go to boot options and and choose to boot from your USB. In my case I had 2 usb options for the same usb. The normal usb and uefi and I chose the uefi one. 5) You will see purple screan and a button next. Press the button and then don't press install but look down left and you must see repair this PC. 6) When you press it you will be send to the automatic repair. Press troubleshooting. 7) Now for me at least it had different options. I pressed the fist one "start-up repair" I think it was called. 8) Finally just wait. It said over an hour but I personally waited around 1 minute.
This is the only instructions I found that actually worked. None of the random forum posts or Microsoft support instructions worked. This did. Some commands had to be run in safe mode with networking after I was able to actually get into safe mode. Thank you!!
For me, the solution was different. I booted up in to the safe mode via media. (NOT with the automatic repair) I saw that my machine was running ONLY ON 256MB OF RAM. I honestly don't know what was the cause of the problem.. but back to fixing the issue.. I pressed WIN + R to open RUN. Then typed msconfig and changed the maximum of my memory to 8GB. (This is the maximum I can have) This fixed my problem.
Turn power on, spam F12, then press the arrow down to support OS recovery, when it enters support OS recovery,the power button on the bottom right of the screen once clicked should bring up 3 options, one of them is the Windows recovery environment, which is where the troubleshoot option is. Took me hours to figure it out alone. From there you can enter the safe mode as the tutorial says.
Oh man, thank you for this video. I spent an hour combing through microsoft documentation and trying various repairs and didn't get anywhere near a solution. This command dism /image... fixed this in one go. Never had this kind of problem before, usually my worst issue is that my graphics card doesn't get along with certain games. I was dreading a crappy weekend of fixing this stuff, and frankly didn't want to deal with it today. Thankfully I have another computer to look up videos like this.
Had this BSOD 21a with a recent Win10 update, this video helped me, thank you :) I followed the commands in the description order, but chkdisk, sfc scannow and restorehealth did nothing. The command that repaired all was dism revertpendingactions. So follow the commands order of the video, not the description.
Thanks for this video. I did everything in the video until the end - I can’t start my pc in safe mode, f4 f5 and f7 doesn’t work. Just sends me back into the loop of restarts. Anyone got a solution?
Thank you. This worked so far on my laptop. Received the same error code, went into Command Prompt, inserted the line you highlighted, pressed continue to Win 10 and it loaded successfully. I will bookmark this video page for safety. Thanks again.

I recently reset my PC (about a month ago) and it was such a hassle to re-download everything again- and then this error happened to me. Nothing worked for me in the video as it was inching closer and closer towards another reset... but then the one right before worked, thank you so much
Well, after you go through all of this and find yourself still up a creek without a paddle, and then you find the tutorial for the 3 Bootrec commands whereby the 3rd one fails (Bootrec /Fixboot "Access Denied"), try this: at the command prompt where Windows is installed (in my case C) type at the c:\bootsect /nt60 all note the space between bootsect and the forward slash and the space before the word "all". Once you type the command bootsect /nt60 all , hit the Enter key, reboot and walla..you should be back in windows. The NT60 is for PCs after Windows Vista thus this command will work on Windows 7, 8 and Windows 10 not Vista or XP, use NT52 instead of NT60
Going through all of the checks takes a LONG, LONG time. I am hopeful that this will fix my problem. I am thankful for this video. It gave me somewhere to start in the repair.
@Alexsdotmp4Archive sort of. I had to refresh the os. Thought I had win 10, but I have 8.1. it still got me past where it wasn't doing anything. God Windows sucks!
It is very helpful. Thanks! Podam różnice jakie były w moim przypadku: 1) nie mogłem wejść w linie poleceń 2) wykorzystałem dysk odzyskiwania i po zmianie kolejności bootowania pojawiła się linia poleceń. 3) Na koniec nie chciała wystartować funkcja DISM- wyłączyłem laptopa twardo. 4) Po ponownemu włączeniu (bez dysku odzyskiwania) zrobiło się OK
Hi jaeden, im facing this error on my windows 8 and it started when I restarted the system from th troubleshoot tool in control panel, where it had shown that there is a problem in a driver. so guess my problem is similar to the one you faced. could you tell how you sorted it out?
I found listening to your video very helpful in preparation for helping another individual with this issue. You have a confident and reassuring voice which is so vital at a time like this when you can't access your PC programs and files.
After keyed in dism /image:C:\/cleanup-image /revertpendingactions, error: 2 Unable to access the image. Make sure that the image path and the window directory for the image exist and you have read permission on the folder.
same to me, I'm trying this right now and i dont know what i have to do... man i dont have any money to go and pay for the service, puffff anyone knows about other video in this case?
This helped a lot thank you. I had to go to starting option route. I haven’t been able to really do anything about it till I watched yours I kept getting an error using cmdpt saying something about the file location isn’t there? I have my ssd as my boot drive which is C. I have 3 others V(video), S(stream files), G(games/saves). I tried them all and still nothing. But going the starting options route booted right up and I don’t blue screen
Brilliant, it worked for me, very well explained. Except for the dism online command it also sayd the dism.log is in X. Also got the error after going to a previous recovery point. Don't know why windows have an easy option to fix it as so many people face the same problem. Thanks for the explanation ! Great help.
The revertpendingactions by itself worked for me, awesome. Thank you! Now that it finally boots, I 'll do an inplace upgrade now to freshen up things :)
I was able to get in via disabling the driver signature option. None of the cmd prompt codes worked. So im confused what I do at this stage. All i did was install updates. Do i uninstall all my windows updates and try again? Cause the only way i can boot is disabling the driver signature.
0xc000021a error solution which worked for me. 1/ after bluescreen, turned off pc 2/ physically disconnected all drives except system C: drive (nvme in my case) 3/ turned on pc, reverting last updates screen 4/ windows logon screen is back 5/ after login, message with incorrectly installed updates appears 6/ manually updated to win 10 vesion 20H2, hope updates will work correctly now
@@wilforddraper1894 I had to keep restarting until Windows gave me the screen with advanced options. Took 3-5 times for me. I still haven't fixed it. Could be a corrupt update or my external hard drives causing issues. Still, I can get the computer to start up by pressing F7 on the restart options screen.
@@silentype3008 I think it's a corrupt update too. Cuz we fixed it for the time being by successfully replacing the interrupted update, we had with a windows 10 on a USB drive but everytime we start to download the new windows 10 update it causes a new BSOD.
@@wilforddraper1894 I'm certain it's the update 21h1. Apparently it's been problematic across the board and Microsoft is working on releasing patches. If I find a long term solution, I'll keep you updated. For now, I uninstalled all recent updates from the month of June and now my PC loads up fine.
@@valkiller1562 Well, I ended up finding out that it was something dealing with my external hard drive and a setting on my computer. Once I connected my computer to a tv, it would show but not on a computer screen. It's been awhile, sorry, on what I actually did but I would tell you to connect it to a tv and see if you get past that screen. Also, unplug all if any, external drives you have connected to it. If I can help in any other way please let me know.
Thank you so much, this worked for me. I just got my laptop a few months ago and it was working fine about 4 hours ago so I was very concerned. Thank you again!
10 hours later, after trying almost everything, I try this and find out that my mom's computer has the PE version of Windows 10 and dism online etc. restorehealth won't work with it because there is no online functionality. UGH. I'm going to go smash my face into a wall, now.

@@ZayTheGen System restore, but it's probably a hardware issue. I ended up getting the same problem after 2 weeks, and I did another system restore which fixed it again
Guys, i had this problem and I tried something. I did a system restore and it worked. The problem is fixed. (Thank God!) I will probably start backing up my PC to an external drive.
This happened after I installed my windows 7 laptop hdd in my desktop, even after I removed the laptop hdd it still happens... but for whatever reason windows 7 still runs on it. Are the steps still the same?
I’m so glad this still works! Followed along and though I got the error 87 code when entering the last prompt, using startup settings to disable driver signature enforcement worked for me
So I'm having the same problem but I can access command prompt cause it keeps rejecting my password. So I tried resetting it and it wouldn't even reset. I'm just stuck on this endless booting cycle
While I had this error, I was watching this video but more like listening to it, and I was fooling around with the recovery options, testing them, from bottom to top. I got to say that I didn't have an instalation drive/ stick, so I was pretty screwed because I couldn't repair the windows with it. And I tested option number 7, which was disable driver signature enforcement (which this video tells us as well, only that I tried the option before reaching that part of the video) and this made my PC boot again safely. I got into this error because I unistalled a faulty microsoft update (I wanted to reinstall it back, clean way). So yea...I think I am done repairing microsoft shit-updates, next time I will be prepared with windows instalation media next to it...but better still, a clean windows installation is the best course of action. I got into this mess because of my laziness...don't do the same ! PS : but since you already reached this video, it means that you are in deep-shit with this error, right ? Bhahahahahaha Ha !
Sir, you saved me in 2022. Odd question but why does this happen? I turned off my pc properly to clean it, I took it apart and put it back together and I ran across this error. It was strange considering I didn't have any actions pending after restart.

note the space between bootsect and the forward slash and the space before the word "all". Once you type the command bootsect /nt60 all , hit the Enter key, reboot and walla..you should be back in windows. The NT60 is for PCs after Windows Vista thus this command will work on Windows 7, 8 and Windows 10 not Vista or XP, use NT52 instead of NT60
How to reboot in this
Thanks man, its working for me after disabling driver signature enforcement, you just saved my laptop
Going through all of the checks takes a LONG, LONG time. I am hopeful that this will fix my problem. I am thankful for this video. It gave me somewhere to start in the repair.
This fixed my issues. I had a bunch of bad clusters on the hard drive. Excellent!
Went straight to Step 5, and it fixed the error I just got. THANK YOU!
This just happened to me after an update.
This is EXACTLY WHY I hate windows 10
@Alexsdotmp4Archive sort of. I had to refresh the os. Thought I had win 10, but I have 8.1. it still got me past where it wasn't doing anything. God Windows sucks!
@Alexsdotmp4Archive yeah, well actually I think it's running decently now. Older laptop btw
It is very helpful. Thanks! Podam różnice jakie były w moim przypadku: 1) nie mogłem wejść w linie poleceń 2) wykorzystałem dysk odzyskiwania i po zmianie kolejności bootowania pojawiła się linia poleceń. 3) Na koniec nie chciała wystartować funkcja DISM- wyłączyłem laptopa twardo. 4) Po ponownemu włączeniu (bez dysku odzyskiwania) zrobiło się OK
Well, thanks a lot... I was really expecting that my pc will work after this, but the dism commands failed and it didn't work unfortunately😔😔
If now your pc working???
dism fixed my problem. A Windows 10 automatic update crapped out and left my computer stuck in an endless no-boot-up loop. Thanks!
Thanks man, been needing this, but now I know. Actually in one occasion, I just had a missing driver. Thanks anyways, great video.
Glad you liked it.
Hi jaeden, im facing this error on my windows 8 and it started when I restarted the system from th troubleshoot tool in control panel, where it had shown that there is a problem in a driver. so guess my problem is similar to the one you faced. could you tell how you sorted it out?
How did you know which driver? Have the same problem...
I found listening to your video very helpful in preparation for helping another individual with this issue. You have a confident and reassuring voice which is so vital at a time like this when you can't access your PC programs and files.
Worked great. Got mine back at Number 7 Disable Driver Signature Endorcement
How long did it take?
I just had the WIN1 10 error 0xc000021a on my step fathers laptop and your vid helped get it up and running again, Thanx a bunch.😁👍👍
After keyed in dism /image:C:\/cleanup-image /revertpendingactions,
error: 2
Unable to access the image.
Make sure that the image path and the window directory for the image exist and you have read permission on the folder.
Now what to do
I sent my laptop to service center as it still under warranty and they said my os crash and cannot repair itself.
Mine is out of warranty. What should I do?
Its same with me , i've been doing like that but still eror...finally have to go to computer service
same to me, I'm trying this right now and i dont know what i have to do... man i dont have any money to go and pay for the service, puffff anyone knows about other video in this case?
This helped a lot thank you. I had to go to starting option route. I haven’t been able to really do anything about it till I watched yours I kept getting an error using cmdpt saying something about the file location isn’t there? I have my ssd as my boot drive which is C. I have 3 others V(video), S(stream files), G(games/saves). I tried them all and still nothing. But going the starting options route booted right up and I don’t blue screen
i wish this guys explained in detail what each of these things do. Telling us to just do these things without an explanation as to why, is confusing.
This video is 4 years old, still the very first method worked for me....thanks a lot man. 🤩
UPDATE: January 7, 2019
This helped...I think.
I'm going to come back to my desktop tomorrow after work and see if it will start up normally.
did it?
Brilliant, it worked for me, very well explained. Except for the dism online command it also sayd the dism.log is in X. Also got the error after going to a previous recovery point. Don't know why windows have an easy option to fix it as so many people face the same problem. Thanks for the explanation ! Great help.
None of this worked. I got error messages after every command and cannot get into safe mode.
AmishTurtle could you fix it??
@@altermati1 did you ever fix it?
Did you ever fix it?
@@aibtheillest6077unfortunately not. I had to send my laptop in to get it fixed. Luckily it was under warranty. Sorry I can't help.
@@CombatArmsReviews9 you could have just reinstalled windows from USB or disk man.
SUPER , first step work like a charm, w10 update 1903 was the cause.
I keep getting the damn first blue screen every time I restart my PC so then I can’t click anything else
Me too
Mee to
Yea I know I am 2 years late
What did you guys tried to do?
@@rifatpriyo4135 no idea
Perplexed what do you mean you can’t use your pc for 2 years?
The revertpendingactions by itself worked for me, awesome. Thank you!
Now that it finally boots, I 'll do an inplace upgrade now to freshen up things :)
I was able to get in via disabling the driver signature option. None of the cmd prompt codes worked. So im confused what I do at this stage. All i did was install updates. Do i uninstall all my windows updates and try again? Cause the only way i can boot is disabling the driver signature.
Same here. Disabling driver signature option was the only option that worked for me
0xc000021a error solution which worked for me.
1/ after bluescreen, turned off pc
2/ physically disconnected all drives except system C: drive (nvme in my case)
3/ turned on pc, reverting last updates screen
4/ windows logon screen is back
5/ after login, message with incorrectly installed updates appears
6/ manually updated to win 10 vesion 20H2, hope updates will work correctly now
The fact that this is still happening 3 years later. SMH
Hey how did you solve this we dont have any advanced options
@@wilforddraper1894 I had to keep restarting until Windows gave me the screen with advanced options. Took 3-5 times for me. I still haven't fixed it. Could be a corrupt update or my external hard drives causing issues. Still, I can get the computer to start up by pressing F7 on the restart options screen.
@@silentype3008 I think it's a corrupt update too. Cuz we fixed it for the time being by successfully replacing the interrupted update, we had with a windows 10 on a USB drive but everytime we start to download the new windows 10 update it causes a new BSOD.
@@wilforddraper1894 I'm certain it's the update 21h1. Apparently it's been problematic across the board and Microsoft is working on releasing patches.
If I find a long term solution, I'll keep you updated. For now, I uninstalled all recent updates from the month of June and now my PC loads up fine.
@@silentype3008 glad im not the only one with this problem. It's for sure the update. so annoying
It took going through a couple of these options before it figured finally fixed it. Thanks so much! You have no idea how much of a help this has been
Great Job bro! You saved me a lot of money! We need people like you a lot....
So helpful! Took a couple hours (2) to get through it all but the 2nd last step was what worked for me. Thank you!
What if I cant get tto anything. Blue screen with code shuts my computer down everytime
what did you do about it
@@valkiller1562 Well, I ended up finding out that it was something dealing with my external hard drive and a setting on my computer. Once I connected my computer to a tv, it would show but not on a computer screen. It's been awhile, sorry, on what I actually did but I would tell you to connect it to a tv and see if you get past that screen. Also, unplug all if any, external drives you have connected to it. If I can help in any other way please let me know.
i never leave comments on videos but this literally saved my PC after the most horrendous safe mode loop, thank you so much and god bless dude
and it still works like a CHARM almost 2 months later
Every step, every command just says: error cannot do that, nothing happened
Thank you so much, this worked for me. I just got my laptop a few months ago and it was working fine about 4 hours ago so I was very concerned. Thank you again!
10 hours later, after trying almost everything, I try this and find out that my mom's computer has the PE version of Windows 10 and dism online etc. restorehealth won't work with it because there is no online functionality. UGH. I'm going to go smash my face into a wall, now.
How did you fix iT tho i have the same prob but i cant fix iT. It gives an error plz help me
Wow after 2 days of getting sad and searching and trying yours worked for me!!!! (T_T) waaaa thank you so much..m although i am just halfway of your video. If i get a problem again ill continue with the rest of the steps? Or should i already continue? Thank you again! Subscribed
Right when I log in to my computer, the blue stop code pops up and restarts my computer and goes right back to my log in screen, but the automatic repair doesn't come up!!!! What do it do???!? Plz help
Tank3r3000 should come up after the 3rd try just let it keep happening
I have the same issue
What can I do if the automatic repair doesn’t came up?
I have the same problem. My computer is restarting About an hour and still nothing.
Same issue
thank you kind sir, while none of these directly worked I combined two of the steps and can now normally use my computer once again.
You're a hero to me. I've fixed my computer with your advices, so for that thank you very, very much.
Brilliant - many thanks - could these fixes be out into a batch (.bat) file - stored in readiness on the c:\ drive?
Cant even load into safe mode 😰
Did u find out how to get to safe mode
@@Nizarhio nope i did that restore option but with keep files and all my games where kept but i had to set it so steam would recognise the path, some files where deleted tho so it sucks a little
I can't even reset the PC haha kill me
@@Josbird can't either bro how did you fix it?
@@FrankensteinDZWOT i gave up and replaced my SSD with my laptop hard drive lmao
Im on 2019, and its really working. Im so panic but, this video really helping me... Thx
None of these works, but thanks for the tips anyway. God bless you.
It worked out for me! Although my stop code was System Service Exception but still i tried this method and after rebooting it loaded into my OS. Thank u!
Hello! Are files on my computer will be saved after these steps?
this video just saved me. many thanks. for me it worked finaly with the "startup setting" 7) Disable driver signature enforcment
Nothing works for me...nice 🙂
Have u fixed it?
@@virtuseduel bro its been 2 years i gave it to someone for fixing it and they did but then the same problem occurred in like 2 weeks now the laptop is in my store room lmao
@@rosyyie1565 Oh, I already fixed mine but it's slower than it was before so
@@virtuseduel how did you fix it
@@ZayTheGen System restore, but it's probably a hardware issue. I ended up getting the same problem after 2 weeks, and I did another system restore which fixed it again
Guys, i had this problem and I tried something. I did a system restore and it worked. The problem is fixed. (Thank God!) I will probably start backing up my PC to an external drive.
3:32 it shows an error occured reverting the pending action from the image....
Its also showing error : 0x800f082f
May I know the reason
I get the same error!
Still useful 4yrs later! Thanks so much!
Make that 5
sry these "old" dism commands dont work anymore with my win10 at the moment
Thank you so much bro...You made it....I got my laptop repaired. ....Thanks a lot..😍😍😍😍😍.....I restored all my documents..Thank you again😊😊😊😊😊....
Thank you! Startup settings option 7 fixed the problem for me👍
Suo
Thanks a lot! That first command prompt worked first time! Thank you so much! Saved me a small fortune. 👍
This happened after I installed my windows 7 laptop hdd in my desktop, even after I removed the laptop hdd it still happens... but for whatever reason windows 7 still runs on it. Are the steps still the same?
I’m so glad this still works! Followed along and though I got the error 87 code when entering the last prompt, using startup settings to disable driver signature enforcement worked for me
I get error 87 code, what should I do??
It's 2020 and it's still a pain to do all these steps.... And it still didn't help me yet.... So 🤬 I'm screwed
did you ever get it fixed?
@@hifiagf8896 yep
@@devismita94solotraveler how?
So I'm having the same problem but I can access command prompt cause it keeps rejecting my password. So I tried resetting it and it wouldn't even reset. I'm just stuck on this endless booting cycle
While I had this error, I was watching this video but more like listening to it, and I was fooling around with the recovery options, testing them, from bottom to top.
I got to say that I didn't have an instalation drive/ stick, so I was pretty screwed because I couldn't repair the windows with it. And I tested option number 7, which was disable driver signature enforcement (which this video tells us as well, only that I tried the option before reaching that part of the video) and this made my PC boot again safely.
I got into this error because I unistalled a faulty microsoft update (I wanted to reinstall it back, clean way). So yea...I think I am done repairing microsoft shit-updates, next time I will be prepared with windows instalation media next to it...but better still, a clean windows installation is the best course of action.
I got into this mess because of my laziness...don't do the same !
PS : but since you already reached this video, it means that you are in deep-shit with this error, right ?
Bhahahahahaha Ha !
Yeah bro
Ive Tried exit to windows like 10 times and as soon as I watch a guide it magically works
Glad it worked out ok for you
The error reboots before I can capture the image of it or write it down. How do I find the error I'm getting so I can attempt to fix it??? 7/14/2020
Sir, you saved me in 2022. Odd question but why does this happen? I turned off my pc properly to clean it, I took it apart and put it back together and I ran across this error. It was strange considering I didn't have any actions pending after restart.
