  2. Windows 11 PC stuck in preparing automatic repair

    My Windows 11 machine (Lenovo Ideapad) is stuck in "preparing automatic repair." I tried the trick to restart 3 times, but I also get a bluescreen error as it tries to restart: 0XC0000219.

    Startup repair is not able to fix it.

    Preparing Automatic Repair

    My son's Lenovo Ideapad 110-15ACL has been stuck on "Preparing Automatic Repair" for over a week now. I can't followed any steps listed for remedying it because the computer doesn't respond to any instructions, like holding F8 or even booting from a USB, at all. Has anyone ideas or it's time to discard this 5-year old laptop?
