    Stuck on 'Preparing Automatic Repair', can't boot windows from USB either


    Hello,I've been stuck on the Asus preparing automatic repair. I tried installing windows 11 via a USB, but all it does is take me to a black screen with the windows blue logo followed by a white buffer circle and then 5 seconds later the screen just goes black. I can't access windows advanced startup options through any method either. My gaming PC is only around two years old and otherwise in good health, all latest drivers were downloaded through driver easy too. The night before this happened my PC wouldn't switch off because steam was still working so I forced shutdown. I am guessing that i

    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?

  3. 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.

    Windows stuck in preparing automatic repair

    Hello

    My Lenovo laptop has the dreaded stuck in preparing automatic repair loop

    It doesn't get past this.

    I have tried holding the power key 3 times but windows repair never starts.

    I have tried with a USB installation but I get the windows symbol which go's off to a black screen, then nothing.

    Can anyone suggest anything else?

    I read through numerous forum issues with the same problem and nothing seems to work for me.

    Thanks in anticipation
