  1. PC stuck in "preparing automatic repair" followed by a blue screen


    Around a week ago, my pc randomly showed a blue screen when booting up, before restarting automatically and then working fine afterwards. Once or twice the computer also froze randomly or disconnected from the WiFi randomly, leading me to restart the pc. Today, I restarted the pc after it disconnected from the WiFi, but this time I was shown a blue screen telling me to choose and option. If I click continue and exit to windows 11, the computer just gets stuck in a loop of "preparing automatic repair" and "diagnosing PC". I have tried a few troubleshooting methods but none have worked so far.I

    Preparing automatic repair black screen afterwards stuck

    Fixing this gaming PC for a friend. His computer gets stuck on the windows logo with the dotted spinning circle. In the past to fix this i've done a startup repair. But this time, the PC starts the Preparing Automatic Repair, then screen goes black, where normally it should be showing diagnosing your pc before loaded the Automatic Repair screen.

    What should I attempt to try next?

    Preparing Automatic Repair

    My son's Lenovo Ideapad 110-15ACL has been stuck on "Preparing Automatic Repair" for over a week now. I can't followed any steps listed for remedying it because the computer doesn't respond to any instructions, like holding F8 or even booting from a USB, at all. Has anyone ideas or it's time to discard this 5-year old laptop?

    PC stuck in "preparing automatic repair" followed by a blue screen

    After windows update, the laptop remains stuck in "Preparing Automatic Repair"

    Hi

    I've got a hp laptop with win10. After certain update, i start getting first a blue screen with stop code NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM. Then the pc restarts with hp logo and a message at the bottom "Preparing automatic repair". This is where it remains stuck forever
    (no progress in 8 hrs or so).

    If I just shut down the pc by holding power button, it would again give me the same blue screen followed by eternal black screen thing mentioned above.

    I cannot afford to lose the data on my pc by resetting it via a bootable device. Any suggestions?
