Windows 10: How do I fix this weird automatic repair loop?

I have Windows 10 Home, and a pretty old laptop. For some reason, when I open my computer, it looks like a normal startup, with the windows icon and everything, but it stays that way forever, until it just goes into sleep mode except I can't wake it up. The power button still indicates that it's on, though. I forcefully turn it off by holding the power button, and when I turn it on again, it says preparing automatic repair.

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

As an initial step to get back into the normal Windows screen, we suggest that you perform a
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.
