Hi @BD115 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.

Let's walk through a few structured steps to help you break out of that Automatic Repair loop and blue screen situation:

 

🛠 Step-by-Step Fixes for HP Automatic Repair Loop

 

1. Hard Reset Your HP Laptop

• Power off the laptop completely.
• Unplug the charger and remove the battery (if removable).
• Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds.
• Reconnect power and turn it on.

 

2. Boot into Safe Mode

• On the blue Automatic Repair screen, click:
  • Advanced Options → Troubleshoot → Advanced Options → Startup Settings → Restart
• After restart, press 4 or F4 to enter Safe Mode.
• Once inside, uninstall any recent updates or drivers that might be causing the issue.

 

3. Run Startup Repair

• From the same Advanced Options menu, choose Startup Repair.
• Let Windows attempt to fix the boot issue automatically.

 

4. Use Command Prompt for Deep Repair

If you can access Command Prompt:

sfc /scannow chkdsk /f /r C:

Replace C: with your system drive if different.

 

5. System Restore (If Available)

• Go to Advanced Options → System Restore
• Choose a restore point from when your system was working fine.

 

6. Reset Windows

• From Advanced Options, select Reset this PC
• Choose either:
  • Keep my files (recommended)
  • Remove everything (if necessary)

7. Reinstall Windows (Last Resort)

First, we need to download the Windows image onto a 32GB or 64GB USB flash drive (Flash drive only, memory cards and USB hard drives are not supported; It has to be 32GB or 64B only)

You can download the Windows image through the 'HP Cloud Recovery App', which can be downloaded from the Windows Store.

Refer to Step 2 on the link below:

And follow Step 4 to reload Windows from the newly created USB recovery media.
