  1. Windows 10 preparing automatic repair loop


    I have had this loop for 4-5 hours now, and I have not found any fix for it. I am using build 10240. I have tried reverting back to windows 7, and that failed. Tried start-up repair, that failed. Tried system restore and image recovery, those failed too. Even resetting my pc has failed. I have tried cmd commands, and those also failed. I have upgraded to windows 10 via online from Windows 7, and I do not have a disk or another computer to work with. Nothing has even caused this issue. I just booted my pc like any other day and I was sent into this loop. I have a Gigabyte USB 3.0 powered motherboard.

    :)

  2. Stuck in Windows defender offline start-up loop.

    Heres my problem. Windows 10 on start-up> Preparing automatic repairs> Window Defender Offline> performs scan> restarts> goes right to
    'Preparing Automatic repairs' and we begin this loop over and over again.

    Windows 10 is stuck in Automatic Repair loop

    Hi Robert,

    Automatic Repair loop is a feature designed to help you fix some PC issues in Windows. It might fail to work sometimes and stuck in a startup repair loop in Windows 10.

    The two most common cases of the Windows Automatic Repair loop issue are:

    1. Windows Automatic Repair stuck on a black screen with "Preparing Automatic Repair" error message.

    2. Windows Automatic Repair failed and said, "Automatic repair couldn't repair your PC".

    We suggest that you try the solutions provided by community experts on this
    link
    and let us know how it goes.

    We will wait for your response.

    Welcome to Ten Forums. If you still have the Win 7 product key and aren't worried about losing your data here is a link to create Win 7 install media on the sister site Seven Forums. Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade . This might not work for you, but maybe you can get back to a stable situation.

  5. Will creating a windows 10 media and repair from there cause any changes to my personal files such as images or word documents?

    No, boot from Win 10 media use the repair your computer button and choose keep programs and files. It will keep your personal stuff.

    Hi, the first thing to try when in that loop is an absolute cold boot. This is in the hope that (as I've experienced a number of times) your PC will actually be bootable.

    Shut down, disconnect power (including removing laptop battery if relevant), hold the power button pressed for 20s or so, reconnect power, try reboot. If still not booting, repeat but just as the PC comes on, remove power (disconnect cord, switch off mains supply). Then reboot.

    However, given all the things you've already tried, it may well be too late to hope your PC still has a chance of booting without repair.

    To learn: use disk imaging. This can also rescue you. You need
    - e.g. Macrium Reflect or Aomei Backupper (free)
    - an external disk to back up to eg twice the size of what you're backing up
    - the bootable CD you can create from those
    - disk images you have created and maintain regularly- which also form a full backup from which you can recover files.

    This helps to avoid finding technical solutions and gets your PC up and running (hardware problems aside) in a fixed time.

    Whenever I click the "repair your computer" it brings be back to the regular troubleshoot boot screen. A couple things have changed, but I'm not sure where the option you stated is located.

    Hi, try the cold boot I've suggested first- you'll lose nothing by trying it. (Make sure there's no disk in the drive or usb device attached).

    Then try what JohnC has said:
    Insert your Windows CD into the CD/DVD-ROM disk drive, watch the CD/DVD-ROM drive light to check your PC is booting from it.

    From a cold start enter your BIOS before POST(the beep you hear at startup). You do that by hitting the F2 or delete key at startup (I'm not sure what key is needed for gigybite but it should tell you on the first screen when you start the computer). change the boot order to the drive your media is in. save changes and it will restart the sequence. this time you will access your created media first.

  11. I have done that. It brings up a Windows Setup window with an option to Install now, or to repair my computer.

  12. I have attempted the cold boot with no luck. I may try it again a few more times

    That is what you want. Click on repair my computer. A few screens later it will ask you what you want to keep. Click on personal files and apps.

  14. After clicking repair my computer, it shows 3 options: continue, Troubleshoot, and Turn off my PC. Is this what I'm supposed to see?
