Windows 10: computer stuck in bootloop but will not load the automatic repair tool

please help, all my children's homeschool work is on the computer, i don't know what to do. I think my daughter pressed the power button and then quickly pressed it again to turn it off. Since then, it's stuck in a bootloop but will not boot the recovery tool screen. After the third time of turning it on & off, it says "loading automatic recovery" for a few minutes then it turns off and goes back to the "reconstructing cache metadata" screen with the spinning circle, and i left my computer on all night to see if it would eventually boot, and it didn't.


I've tried disabling legacy usb, I've tried it with unplugging my usb devices and then turning on, ive watched 100 videos and none of it has worked.. Please help. Thank you so much.

Windows 10 automatic repair bootloop

about 5 hours ago, my computer had a BSOD with the error IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. After the restart, it gave the same error after 20 seconds of booting into Windows permanently. I then booted into automatic repair and went on to restore from a point. After the restore, my laptop got stuck in an automatic repair bootloop. I tried to do a reset but it says it can't find any admin accounts on my pc. Is there a way to fix this please ?.

Perform the Automatic repair:

• 
  When your computer starts, wait for the manufacturer logo to check the option for boot menu, it will usually be
  F12.
  
• 
  The boot menu key might differ with each manufacturer. If you are unable to find the boot menu key, you may refer the user manual.
  
• 
  Restart the computer, when the manufacturer's logo is displayed, keep pressing the
  Boot menu option key to enter the boot menu and change the boot option to
  CD\DVD ROM.
  
• 
  After you boot your computer using Windows 8 DVD, a black screen appears with gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press any key.

windows 10 'automatic repair' bootloop

Please note this was not a 'black screen' issue ( had that one too on another computer.. )

The computer did not boot to windows at all. it was stuck in a bootloop where it attempted to run automatic repair, but none of the auto repair options would allow it to fully boot into windows. The black screen I mentioned above occurred after I chose 'restore
previous build'.. and occurred just after the BIOS. Basically once I restored previous build, no windows would boot at all.

The unfortunate solution for me was to fully format the OS drive and reinstall windows.
