Windows 10: Windows 10 - After power surge, Windows loads forever with Preparing Automatic Repair,...

Hello,After a power surge last night, my PC no longer boots beyond the BIOS, and becomes stuck at the circling dots screen. After a number of resets, I will get a "Preparing Automatic Repair", but it never goes farther.On VERY rare occasions twice out of ~20 times, I have managed to boot into a normal login screen and login, however the taskbar/start menu and background are all missing screen is entirely black and the only window I can interact with is an update for a CPU monitoring application that boots on startup and ask me to update it. Using that, I have managed to open a browser, how

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.

 

Preparing automatic repairs

Hello SashaFitz, I am Brian, an Independent Advisor and a fellow Microsoft user like you.

I understand the urgency of having to rectify this concern. Let me give you some guidelines to help you isolate and fix the concern.

Kindly carefully follow the steps below.

• Performing a Startup Repair •

1. If Windows 10 fails to boot normally three times over, the fourth time it enters by default in an Automatic Repair mode. Using this mode, you can boot into Safe Mode. To trigger the Automatic Repair mode, you must interrupt the normal boot process three
consecutive times: use the reset or the power button on your Windows 10 PC to stop it during boot, before it finishes loading Windows 10. If you use the power button, you might have to keep it pressed for at least 5 seconds to force the power off. When your
Windows 10 PC enters the Automatic Repair mode, the first thing you see is a screen that tells you that the operating system is “Preparing Automatic Repair.”

2. Click Troubleshoot.

3. Click Advanced options.

4. Then, click Startup Repair.

If the Startup Repair does not fix the issue, please do the next steps below:

• System Restore •

Hope this helps. Stay safe always.
