Stuck in auto repair loop

Hi Alex,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

If the screen is stuck for a long time on auto repair, I suggest you to restart the computer using power button and check. If the issue still persist, I suggest you to check if you are able to boot the computer into Safe Mode environment and check.

To use a Safe Boot option, follow these steps:

• 
  Restart your computer and start pressing the F8 key on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured for booting to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when the Boot Menu appears.
  
• 
  Select an option to “Safe mode with networking” using the arrow keys on the keyboard when the Windows Advanced Options menu
  appears, and then press ENTER.
  

Hope this information is helpful. Do let us know if your issue is resolved. For any further query, feel free to contact us.

Thank you.

 

Auto Repair loop

Hi Windows geniuses! I've reached the end of my knowledge base, so now turning to you all for help.

My daughter's PC was off the other day. Unsure if it was turned off, or if there was a power outage.

Upon turning it back on she found it was struck in an auto repair loop. I had a look and none of the auto options work. I turned off the auto repair function and on booting get a 0xc00000f error.

I chased my tail for a while trying to work out why the EFI partition was missing. Turns out there is none because it's an MBR disk (not sure why....).

In Diskpart I can see there's 2 partitions. The main partition and a 579Mb System Reserve partition.

The main partition still has all the data on it. Although I couldn't pull the Windows product key off using ProduKey.

Bootrec /fixmbr seems to complete successfully.

Bootrec /fixboot gives me an "Access denied" error.

I'm now at the end of my knowledge. I found a few suggestions to fix it but they all seem to be in relation to GPT disks.

Any suggestions?

Hi Jed,

If your computer is stuck in a boot-loop state of Windows, it could mean that automatic repair isn't able to repair a corrupted or broken system file, but attempts to repair it over and over again. For us to assist you properly in resolving this boot-loop
state, kindly respond to the questions below:

• Did the issue occur even after removing the USB wireless mouse?
• Aside from running DISM, what other troubleshooting steps have you done? This is for us to know and to avoid any duplication of efforts on your end.

We look forward to your response.
