Windows 10: Windows 10 still stuck in repair loop after fresh install.

Hello community


Recently, for no known apparent reason no new HW or SW, etc., my PC went into preparing for a repair loop. I tried many of the solutions I found here in the forum but nothing worked. So I did a fresh install to a different SSD and everything worked fine for several days. I came back yesterday turned on the machine and I'm back in preparing for a repair loop. I did another fresh install and it seems OK but I don't want to spend hours restoring my apps if there is an underlying issue that will cause this again. Since there was nothing related to new hardware or any software upgrades I'm thinking this could be something like a PSU issue or Malware. The PSU is a Corsair 1200 watt PS and is 4+ years old. There are no issues under load when the machine is running. No crashes or error messages of any kind. Any insight here would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

Lou
