Windows 10: Windows 10 Automatic Repair and No Administrator Account bootloop

Windows 10 Automatic Repair and No Administrator Account bootloop



Hello everyone.



Details and specifications:

Windows 10 64bit UEFI

Lenovo G50-80



This issue happened this morning, it was functioning like normal yesterday.



When I try to boot up into Windows 10, it starts with spinning white dots and says "Preparing Automatic Repair", followed by "Diagnosing PC" somewhere along those lines. After that it shows a light-blue screen titled Automatic Repair, and says that my PC didn't start correctly and gives me two options - restart, advanced options.



The options I get are Continue, Troubleshoot, Use a device, Turn off your PC, and Use another operating system.



In Troubleshoot there are the options "Reset this PC", which lets me choose between keeping my files and removing everything.



Choosing to keep my files makes it hit a wall, stating that I need to sign in as an administrator to continue, and that there aren't any administrator accounts on my PC. Under that is an button that says "Forgot your password or don't see your accoun?", when pressed, it asks me to restart to sign-in, which obviously starts the whole loop over again.



Choosing to remove everything ends up in failure as well, stating that it couldn't reset my PC and that it didn't make any changes.



In advanced options, I'm given 7 options.

Startup Repair, Uninstall Updates, Startup Settings, UEFI Firmware Settings, Command Prompt, System Restore, and System Image Recovery.



All of which fail to do succeed anything, if they do anything at all. Most of them, after being clicked, say "You need to sign in as an administrator to continue, but there aren't any administrator accounts on this PC."



UEFI Firmware Settings allows me to reset the settings of the BIOS, but that didn't change the situation or help me much.



The only other working option is Startup Settings. "Restart to change Windows options such as:", follower by a long list of possible boot options, including debugging and safe mode, with an option to disable automatic restart after failure. Booting into any of the safe mode options leads me instantly into the "Automatic Repair" with the spinning white dots, starting the loop again. Disabling automatic restart after failure does the same.



I'm a bit stumped for things to be honest. But if anyone would like to lend a hand, any help would be greatly appreciated.

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 10 automatic repair bootloop

about 5 hours ago, my computer had a BSOD with the error IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. After the restart, it gave the same error after 20 seconds of booting into Windows permanently. I then booted into automatic repair and went on to restore from a point. After the restore, my laptop got stuck in an automatic repair bootloop. I tried to do a reset but it says it can't find any admin accounts on my pc. Is there a way to fix this please ?.

 

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown
