can I please get help with my laptop? I am in need of help right now. My commuter keeps saying "getting windows ready. don't turn off your computer" nonstop since yesterday and I have not been able to login to the windows. I called hp support and they told me that I need to pay and I do not have the money to pay for it since my computer is out of warranty. can someone please help me set up my computer before Friday as I need it urgently? please?

This message means that Windows has become corrupted -- so much so, that it can no longer boot. MS puts up this message to tell you that Windows will repair itself -- but in my experience of having seen this dozens of times over the years, it has NEVER been able to make those repairs. So it keeps rebooting and redisplaying this again and again -- until you get disgusted and turn off the PC!
This problem is nearly impossible to fix -- from the standpoint of making repairs and leaving your stuff intact. Some steps for trying this are listed below, but they are very hard to do and if they do not work, you are faced with doing a complete Windows reinstallation to get your PC back working again.
Since PCs out there exist running Windows 10 and Windows 11, and since the steps are different for each, you need to tell us which Windows version it was running.
We can proceed when you provide that information.
