The automatic repair loop is a fairly serious problem that can appear on any computer running the Windows 10 operating system. It’s one of the most annoying errors because it prevents us from starting our PC normally. That’s why we’ve written this article, in which we explain how to fix the Windows 10 automatic repair loop.
What is the Windows 10 Automatic Repair Loop?
The automatic repair loop problem is one of the paradoxes that can occur in our Windows 10 operating system, since there is really no problem , but rather an error.
The consequence of this is that Windows 10 won’t be able to start normally , but will instead offer us the option to find and fix the problem affecting our computer. Since there’s no problem, it will enter an infinite loop.
Why self-repair loops occur
The most common cause of these automatic repair loops is that Windows 10 hasn’t shut down properly . This is what usually happens when there’s a power outage in our home, and we don’t have a UPS system.
In these cases, the Windows registry data may be filled with incomplete and corrupt entries, leading the operating system to believe that there is a problem preventing it from starting correctly.
Start Windows normally
First, let’s look at the easiest way to try to fix an automatic repair loop issue in Windows 10.
To use this trick, just press the F8 key repeatedly while pressing the power button on your computer. This will open the “Windows Boot Manager” tool.
The Windows Boot Manager will offer us several options, in this case we have to select “ Start Windows normally ”.
If we’re lucky, our Windows 10 operating system will boot properly, which will allow it to verify that there are no errors, and it won’t enter the automatic repair loop again.
Perform a system restore
If the above trick doesn’t work, we’ll have to try more advanced options to try to fix the automatic repair loop issue in Windows 10.
In this case, we’ll try restoring the operating system to a previous state to resolve the issue. Keep in mind that for this to work, you must have system protection enabled in Windows 10.
The Windows 10 automatic repair loop should take you to the “Advanced startup options” blue screen.
If this is the case, select the “Troubleshoot” option, then go to “Advanced Options” and “ System Restore .”
Once you’re in the Windows 10 system restore options, you’ll simply need to choose a restore point prior to the date the problem occurred.
Use the command prompt
If the above doesn’t work either, we’ll have to bring out the heavy artillery to try to solve your Windows 10 problem.
Return to the blue Advanced Startup screen, once there click on “Troubleshoot” and “Advanced Options”
Now select “ Command Prompt ” and enter the following commands one by one by pressing the Enter key.
bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd
bootrec.exe /fixmbr
bootrec.exe /fixboot
bootrec.exe /chkdsk /rc:
This should have solved the problem. Otherwise, we’re very afraid you’ll likely have to completely reinstall Windows 10.
