Windows 10: Automatic repair loop Windows 10

My PC is caught in an automatic repair loop. It attempts to boot, fails, diagnoses the problem, attempts to repair and then comes up with an error saying "automatic repair couldn't fix the problem" with the error file (WINDOWS\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt)

If I go into the advanced boot options and try to repair the system or launch the command prompt, I get an error "You need to sign in as an administrator to continue, but there aren't any administrator accounts on this PC" If I boot into Safe Mode with command prompt I get the same thing.

I don't have a Windows install usb to boot from there either.

Automatic Repair Loop

Hi Charlene,

Your concern regarding the device going into an Automatic Repair Loop can be caused by change on its settings/configuration or broken system files. To effectively assist you with your concern, can confirm if you've made any changes on your device prior to

Startup repair. The repair will attempt to fix any broken components/files which may prevent your device from booting properly. To do this, follow the steps below:

• On theAutomatic Repair screen, select Advanced options.
• Select Troubleshoot.
• Select Advanced options.
• Select Startup Repair.

We'll appreciate if you can send us an update.
