Windows 10: Bigger issue with "preparing automatic repair" loop?

I am stuck in the "preparing automatic repair loop". Most answers involve tapping f11 to use the recovery tool on my HP laptop. The issue is that the screen says "Please wait" as if things are going the right way but the laptop shuts off and starts looping again. Also, turning on and off 3 times was a no go. Getting worried that this is bad. I also downloaded the windows installation media onto a USB and went to f9 to direct the laptop to open with that method but it was a no go as well.

Preparing Automatic Repair loop

1) I created a USB boot disk via the Media Create Tool.

2) Powered on with that drive and it was indeed selected as boot. It blinked during startup but again went into loop. Similar to "Preparing Automatic Repair" loop except no such words. The loop now consists of just the Dell splash screen and a half circle
of dots below. Repeats forever.

Have I missed something or done something incorrectly? Any other suggestions?

Thanks.
