How to fix windows 10 automatic repair loop

 

How to fix the automatic repair loop   in Windows 10

You can use Automatic Repair on systems running Windows 8 and above. This is a Windows system-recovery tool that fixes common boot errors you encounter. If your system fails to boot after two consecutive attempts, it will usually start automatically. Once activated, this tool will run several diagnostic tests to self-repair and detect any issues preventing your device from booting successfully.

However, sometimes this automatic repair tool starts performing an endless reboot process instead of fixing your problems. Users are left with a blue screen of death or a black screen, in most cases. As there is no option to stop or delay this reboot, any saved data will be unrecoverable.

There are many reasons why the device might get stuck in the Auto Repair loop. This could be due to missing or corrupted systems files, including problems with Windows Registry, incompatible hard drives, file corruption in Windows Boot Manager, or even a faulty Windows update.

Signs that the Windows automatic repair loop is running

 A "Diagnosing your computer" or "Preparing automatic repair" error message appears on your computer screen.

The message "Preparing automatic repair" appears on a black screen, but nothing happens after that.

A blue screen shows with the message "Automatic repair couldn't repair your PC" or "Your PC did not start correctly"
