    Preparing automatic repair/Diagnostics-stuck on time left


    Hello,


    I downloaded "Treelife" to clean up my computer yesterday. This morning when I tried to open the Dell screen appeared with "Preparing automatic repair", would hang for a couple of seconds and then flash to blue screen"Window Defender Offline". Did search on internet and found message, it instructed to press F12 and enter diagnostics. Did that and got a message that computer was fine and asked if I would like to continue diagnostic-recommended- so I did. I am now stuck in EPSA PRE-Boot system assessement 4302.23 saying that the remaing time is 10min 36 secs, it has been a half an hour and nothing is happening! Help!!

    :)

  3. My HP laptop is stuck on Preparing Automatic Repair has been for many hours

    Hello Sarah,

    I'd like to verify if you're computer is still stuck on Preparing Automatic Repair state. If not, I'd suggest to perform the steps below:

    1. Force shutdown your laptop, check first if your computer will boot normally. If not, after your computer restarts several times. you'll see the Windows 10 Boot Options menu.

    2. Select Troubleshoot > Advanced options.

    3. Choose Command Prompt, copy and paste the commands below and press Enter the after each line:

    • bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd
    • bootrec.exe /fixmbr
    • bootrec.exe /fixboot

    Looking forward to your response.

    Regards.

    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?
