Windows 10: hp preparing automatic repair to blue recovery screen

After cutting of sometime during the night, when I started it this morning it stayed on the HP screen for awhile then the automatic repair popped up on the bottom. Then it eventually turned into Blue "Recovery" screen then shutdown a few mins after. Won't let me press F8 on Recover screen or F1.

Blue screen into stuck preparing automatic repair

I finally got system recovery to open - it was frozen on preparing automatic repair for a long time. Unfortunately, even after going back with system restore it is still blue screening with the same error message. Any other ideas?

 

Blue screen into stuck preparing automatic repair

I recently got a firmware update notification on my lenovo laptop - I installed it, laptop was plugged in, everything was fine. When it rebooted, my computer bluescreened with the error message inaccessible boot device. I got to the recovery screen once, hit restart again to see if that would fix it. It didn't and now whenever I get to the preparing automatic repair screen, whether from a restart off a blue screen of death or a forced recovery mode from shutting the computer down mid boot a few times, it is never able to get past that screen. I think I just need to go back a version in my recovery mode - Any ideas on how to get the recovery screen since I can't get past preparing automatic repair?

 

Black Screen after "preparing automatic repair"

Yesterday, my HP Envy 17 j177nr was working flawlessly. However, today I was experiencing lots of lags and freezes to the point where the laptop is unusable

I decided to power off and on three times to attempt some kind of repair. However, after it says "preparing automatic repair" I ALWAYS get a black screen, no cursor, no nothing. It does NOT move beyond that black screen. It will stay at that black screen all day if I let it.

I tried ALL steps on the internet to fix it, including removing all peripherals including the power cord and battery and holding the power button for 30 second which everybody says that fixes the problem—except it DOES NOT for me. It still goes into "preparing automatic repair" and to that black screen afterwards.

I ran the HP HDD and memory test and all pass with flying colors.

Does anybody know how to fix this?
