A bootloop (also called boot loop or boot-loop) is a problem that occurs on computing devices when they repeatedly fail to complete the booting process and restart before the sequence is finished, preventing the user from accessing the regular interface.
Examples
- Windows NT 4.0[1]
- Windows 2000[2]
- Windows Server[3]
- Windows 10[4]
- The Nexus 5X[5]
- Android 10: when setting a specific image as wallpaper, the luminance value exceeded the maximum of 255 which happened due to a rounding error during conversion from sRGB to RGB. This then crashed the SystemUI component on every boot.[6][7]
- Google Nest hub[8]
- LG smartphone bootloop issues
- On 19 July 2024, an update of CrowdStrike's Falcon software caused the 2024 CrowdStrike incident resulting in Microsoft Windows systems worldwide stuck in bootloops or recovery mode.[a]
