Windows 10: Windows 10 Automatic Repair Issue

I have a new ASUS Vivobook E203N that I bought specifically for updating Garmin sat nav maps and doing a few basic spreadsheets.


When it came to updating the maps and Windows 10, there was not enough space. I bought an external hard drive which suited me for sharing the spreadsheets.


I eventually cleared enough space on the laptop and with the use of the external hard drive, the Windows 10 update started to Run. It got to about 20% and when I next looked at the screen it had the blue Automatic Repair page with Log file: E:\Recovery\WindowsRE\Winre.wim\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt


Troubleshooting I have tried so far (with and without external hard drive attached):

3x reboot from Preparing Automatic Repair / Diagnosing your PC

System Restore - '''no restore points have been created" & "system protection is available only in online operating system"

System Image Recovery - "Windows cannot find a system image on this computer"

Start-Up Repair - "Start-up repair couldn't Repair your PC"

Command Prompt - I have tried several suggestions in here including checking/amending drive letter for device and osdevice, chkdsk, I get an access denied message for the bootrec.exe /fixboot command as I see many people have.

Start-Up Settings - Changes to settings makes no difference, safe mode briefly brings up a black screen with "Safe Mode" in all four corners but it just goes back to the blue AR screen.

Go back to the previous version - "we ran into a problem and won't be able to take you back to the previous version of Windows. Try resetting your PC instead"

Reset this PC - "there was a problem reading your PC. No changes were made" ...same message in both keep my files and remove everything.



Is there anything else I can try, I am at a complete loss?!

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 after memtest session - memory faulty or not?

So i formatted disk , install again Windows 10 , now Windows booting fine without automatic repair. But i tried to reproduce issue by running memtest86 again. So i run test for 5 hours, stop test and booted Windows 10. This time it booted fine without automatic repair. So i guess its fine. But i want to know why it happened earlier? That was still hardware issue? Thx for opinion. Somebody said that can be caused by bad ram.
