Windows 10: Pc goes into automatic repair after clean boot attempt

Hello, Sometime ago I had an issue with a vr headset, steam support told me to see if the problem remains if I tried to start it after a clean boot. So following instructions I quickly clean booted my pc and tried the vr, which didn't fix its issue. So then I opened msconfig again and selected Standart boot and restarted. Now every time I start my pc it goes straight into recovery mode where I with the help of a friend tried to resolve the problem to no avail.Now I ask here if there is a way I'm able to get back into my normal desktop. Thanks in advance Nicole

PC shows Automatic Repair screen after booting

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I appreciate the efforts you have taken in trying to resolve the issue. I understand that when you try to start the computer, you receive an Automatic Repair screen. However, we would like to know the details requested below:

• Are you aware of any changes made to the computer prior to this issue?
  
• What is the make and model of the computer?
  

I would suggest you to try booting the computer to Safe Mode and see if you are able to boot the computer into safe mode. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Click on Advanced options on the screen.
   
2. Click on Startup Settings and click on
   Restart.
   
3. After the device restarts, you will see list of options. Select option
   5 or press F5 to boot the computer into
   Safe Mode with Networking.
   

If you are able to boot the computer into Safe Mode with Networking, try performing clean boot on the computer and see if the computer boots.



Performing a clean boot will start the computer with minimal set of drivers and programs, to determine whether a background program is causing the issue. Some of the Startup programs will not load after performing a clean boot on the computer. However,
that functionality will return when you reset the computer to start normally after finishing the troubleshooting.



To perform a clean boot on the computer refer to the article
How to perform a clean boot in Windows.



If performing a clean boot fixes the issue then, please refer to the section
How to determine what is causing the problem after you do a clean boot
to check which program is causing the issue.



Note: Please refer the section Reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting
to boot the computer in to normal mode after troubleshooting.



I would also suggest you to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the section
Use installation media to restore your PC from the article
Recovery options in Windows 10.



Let us know how it goes.

Windows 10 random automatic repair after changing boot priority.

Hello. So i have an Windows 10 Pro. Sometimes when i am changing in bios boot order from USB to HDD ( SDD ) windows starts booting with AUTOMATIC REPAIR and then restarting. Is this something with BIOS \ Windows 10 bug related? Tested on pc and on laptop , and sometimes it doing the same.


Situation on PC first,listen:

Few days ago after i change boot in UEFI BIOS from USB to SSD.
Then Windows 10 showed at 1 boot Automatic Repair.
When starting Windows 10 boot loader starts by "preparing automatic repair" and diagnosing pc.
Interesting is that if I restart Windows (after procedure mentioned earlier) it will boot normally. This startup problem was occured only when starting system again after shutdown or restarted pc from windows.So i was needed 2 boots to boot properly to windows.
But on pc, format was needed to remove completely issue and after format is fine.

Pc :
2x8gb Kingston Hyperx 1600mhz DDR3
SSD samsung Evo 250 gb
4790k stock
Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark 2 with UEFI BIOS


Now laptop with old standard bios:
On laptop i made the same operation, change boot from USB to HDD and on first boot Windows 10 shows Automatic Repair. But it happened once and i cant reproduce. No format was needed.

laptop is very old with 2gb ram

Why on pc format was needed when on laptop not?



Thanks for suggestions.
