Windows 10: Getting rid of the Windows 10 Automatic Startup Repair Loop?

So, I've been having to deal with this problem about two times now. I had no choice but to wipe, however fortunately, I was able to backup all my files before wiping. My second time occurred yesterday, with no choice but to wipe either.

Anyways, I was wondering if there's any fix to this? None of the command prompt commands seemed to work when I was trying to fix it back then either, which is kind of a let down. Hopefully they work now that I have access again though.

Once I got back my desktop after the wipe, I have already opened an administrator-runned command prompt and entered the command "bcdedit /set recoveryenabled no".

I tried doing the same command line when I was having the problem yesterday, with the command prompt option that the automatic repair tool gave, and it still didn't seem to work during that time. Is there a difference between back when I did it and now?

Also, are there any other things I can do to prevent this from happening again?

For the record, I don't turn my desktop regularly as one normally would, but perhaps this is a wake-up call.

Windows 10 Automatic Startup Repair not Repairing Startup

Hi,

The forums website is giving me a hard time all the sudden...

After my last post I noticed something unusual in your Diskpart screen images...

You will notice that the working machine lists the partitions as BOOT and SYSTEM, and the non-working machine does not... It just says HEALTHY...

You may have a bad clone...

Did the machine EVER boot properly other than the time before you restarted it, and it failed... I wasn't clear if this was the first restart after cloning, or what..

Your flash drive is for UEFI with the FAT32 format... I think that is what the media creation tool is doing by default now... There was a tremendous amount of confusion when this UFI stuff got started... The Media Creation tool wouldn't make the correct
type of flash...

You might delete the 32mb partition and try again...

You may have better luck doing this with the bootable media... Either your flash, or try booting with a DVD instead...

At the screen where you get to the Command Prompt when using the bootable media, you should see a Startup Repair... It may work a bit different than the automatic one....

As I mentioned... there have been times that I have had to do the BootRec sequence, then the Startup Repair, then the BootRec, then Startup Repair, a couple of times before the problem was resolved...

BTW... If you have files on the drive you need to save, you might check out my replies on this other thread concerning a bootable Linux based tool than may be able to copy them to another device...

Windows 10 stuck in safe mode.

Update: I tried restarting with the USB installed and got the same screen, that no OS was found.

 

Would still like some input on this.

 

The fact that you were getting this suggests that there is an underlying problem. What happens if you manually run the system file checker or a CHKDSK, do you find any errors? Do you have any hardware that might be playing up - hard disks or memory? You can run diagnostic checks for these to test. Your hard disk manufacturer probably has some disk check software and memory is best checked with memtest86+

You can find help for all these things by searching our tutorials or via Google *Smile

 

I have done a chkdsk, system file check scan, and all of them have reported to no problems.

Back in February, I installed an extra drive, April was the first time I've had this problem, and then now, May, I've had the problem again two days ago.

 

About once every 3 months, my PC goes into Automatic Repair on booting from cold (power off at mains overnight). I just switch off the PC at the mains, wait a while then restart and it boots fine for few months. I can never find anything wrong using chkdsk, sfc /scannow etc. I could try disabling Automatic Repair using the command bcdedit /set recoveryenabled NO. What would I see in this situation when my PC has a problem booting if I've disabled Automatic Repair?
