Windows 10: Preparing automatic repair on Windows 10 S

Hello,



I hadn’t updated this laptop Lenovo cloudbook - Windows 10 S:https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07MWDW8JJ/ref=pe_3187911_185740111_TE_item since the 14th of October 2020.

Therefore, I updated it this morning there were 4 or 5 Windows 10 updates and this was done within 30 / 45 minutes.



I must say that this LENOVO laptop has a bad flickering screen where I am in Estonia, anyway as it seemed to work much better when I was in Laos at the end of 2019 ..

Usually after a certain length of time which can be very variable, this flickering screen gets to a near normal state. So, I left it on restarting now and then for 90 / 120 minutes.



I restarted a last time before going out and the screen was not flickering a single bit. So I already was happy and I thought that I would leave it on while I would be away during the following 45 minutes to see if it would stay that way.



When I came back, the screen was off! I tried to switch the computer on several time but all I was getting was the LENOVO logo .... and for 1 or 2 seconds only, the wording: “Preparing automatic repair” before the laptop switched itself off.

Please note that in no way I am getting the blue screen with instructions to be followed as one gets with the normal Windows 10.



Please let me know what is happening and how I can bring back to life this 1-year-old laptop bought from Amazon in September 2019.

And obviously, it would be lovely to know how to only start it and to get to the desktop, or do I have to refresh it with the push button to reinstall most programs.



Note that I am not into computer myself and that every move that has to be made must be mentioned.

I thank you all in advance for your needed cooperation.



Joel

HAL_INITIALIZATION_FAILED and Preparing Automatic Repair loop


Hello Les,

Have you checked other threads on these forums to see if there are any suggestions you can try.

Here's one to try: Windows 10 preparing automatic repair loop

 

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.
