Hi @Asher2009,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

I understand that your PC is displaying "Automatic Repair couldn't repair your PC" in Windows 10. This error can be caused by Windows startup file corruption, but before we proceed with software repairs, it is important to verify that the hardware is functioning properly.
 

Could you please try running the HP Hardware Diagnostics test?

Run HP Hardware Diagnostics

  1. Turn the computer completely off.
  2. Press the Power button and immediately begin tapping F2 repeatedly.
  3. The HP PC Hardware Diagnostics menu should open.
  4. Select System Tests.
  5. Run the Quick Test first.
  6. If the Quick Test passes, run the Extensive Test.

Please let us know:

  • Do all tests pass successfully?
  • Do you receive any Failure ID or error code during the tests?

The results will help determine whether this is a hardware-related issue or a Windows startup issue. If the hardware tests pass, we can then focus on repairing Windows using recovery options such as Startup Repair, System Restore, or additional recovery tools.
 

Also, please provide the exact HP model number of your computer so we can offer model-specific guidance if needed.

We'll be happy to assist further once you have the test results.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have an amazing day!

I'm an HP Employee.
