Getting a blue screen after start up says preparing automatic repair

[Rbowles]

I try to turn my computer on. Screen says automatic repair then diagnosing your computer. Your pc did not start correctly. No restore points have been created under system restore. I can’t get past the blue screen and can’t get the computer to reset and reboot. Do I need to download windows on a disk and reinstall? I ran all the hard drive test and it passed. I don’t even care to lose my files at this point but want to be able to open my computer

General help for getting out of the "Repair Loop"

You asked about reinstall of Windows 10 so here it is----

If you tried the windows repair, it did not work, and you cannot get your system to boot then try the "install but keep files" method.
Basically you download the latest window 10 (should work for 11), create a USB boot drive, boot up the USB version of Windows, do the install, but select the option that preserves all your data.  You will need to know if using Windows Home, Pro or some other version.

Using another system go here and download the windows installation media.  Specify the 16gb flash and be sure to check the "Create installation media (USB)" and uncheck the "Use the recommended options for this PC"  I used Kingston.

Insert the USB in to the system you need to repair and turn it on. Press ESC or DEL or F12 so that you can get into the bios and change the boot device. For example, the one with the dark bar highlight has the Windows 10.


After the USB boots up select the language and agree to the fine print, if any.

Once you agree the option to either install or repair will be shown. Since the repair did not work then chose install.

You must then pick the OS that was licensed. If there is no option for the correct OS you forgot to uncheck the "Use the recommended options" earlier.

The next screen will ask if you want to upgrade and preserve files or do a clean install and lose all your stuff.
