"to actually revive a dead system? If yes, can you tell which of the commands it was that performed the recovery???"
The recovery varies with the problem. There is no "do this" instruction sheet and your experience with Windows NT 3.0 to 4.0, Windows 2000 and beyond comes in handy as you disable services, rename files and stop drivers from loading.
Sadly, you get to keep digging up articles about how to use the commands, but nothing ever documented actual system repairs.

to actually revive a dead system? If yes, can you tell which of the commands it was that performed the recovery???
I am studying the list of commands [and their limitations] and cannot find one that I would think that would bring a system back. Related thereto, how would one get any insight as to which command to try when the system isn't working to give any clues???
I've got a lot to learn.
