@DC2012A Welcome to HP Community!
I understand that the PC ran into a problem and needs to restart.
here's a list of steps that have fixed the "Preparing Automatic repair" screen:
Solution 1. Perform a hard reboot
If your Windows cannot boot because of the "Preparing Automatic Repair" or "Diagnosing your PC" error, you can do a hard reboot. Remove the battery and AC adapter. Next, press and hold the power button for 20 seconds and see if it will boot up normally.
If this method doesn't work, try the following solutions.
