  3. Win10 stuck on choose your keyboard layout during auto repair

    Hi,

    Thank you for providing the information.

    I understand the inconvenience you are facing in Windows. I appreciate your patience and efforts in trying to resolve the issue.

    • As suggested by Sudharshan above, what was the result after performing the Automatic repair?
    Performing automatic repair using the media creation tool replaces the corrupted or damaged files from the CD/DVD or USB media. It will not remove or replace your personal files.

    Important: It is suggested to use the media creation tool and create the Windows installation media as there might be some files corrupted in the system where these might end up in causing error or failure. Using the Installation media and
    performing the auto repair helps to recover the corrupted system files.

    Please share us the results performing the above steps using the media creation tool to help you better.
