Windows 10: rebooting forever after being stuck in an automatic repair loop! Windows 10

My laptop has been stuck in the auto repair loop of death! I tried to get out of it with all the command prompt go to's bootrec /fixboot ...

ended up reinstalling from a USB - seemed to go well. Then the laptop needed to restart .... I am stuck on the logo page 'Acer' with the swirling dots. Its been going all night.

I read online that I should have removed the UBS before the reboot - I did not.

Windows 10 is stuck in Automatic Repair loop

Hi Robert,

Automatic Repair loop is a feature designed to help you fix some PC issues in Windows. It might fail to work sometimes and stuck in a startup repair loop in Windows 10.

The two most common cases of the Windows Automatic Repair loop issue are:

1. Windows Automatic Repair stuck on a black screen with "Preparing Automatic Repair" error message.

2. Windows Automatic Repair failed and said, "Automatic repair couldn't repair your PC".

Automatic repair loop

So I have a year old ASUS laptop. Yesterday it entered the automatic repair loop and now I can't get it out. I have tried a number of fixes. Firstly I tried doing the followings command

• bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd
• bootrec.exe /fixmbr
• bootrec.exe /Fixboot

followed by chkdsk but nothing seems to happened

Then I did a system restore which seemed to fix it for a while but then it rebooted to the repair loop. Finally I reset the PC and reinstalled windows. Again this worked for a while and then rebooted to the repair loop. I am stuck and any help would
be appreciated.

  When your computer starts, wait for the manufacturer logo to check the option for boot menu, it will usually be
  F12.

  The boot menu key might differ with each manufacturer. If you are unable to find the boot menu key, you may refer the user manual.

  Restart the computer, when the manufacturer's logo is displayed, keep pressing the
  Boot menu option key to enter the boot menu and change the boot option to
