HP Laptop PC 14-dq2000 IDS Base Model

HP is stuck at Preparing Automatic Repair or black screen with HP logo & loading circles forever.  All symptom, systems, hardware  tests ran & passed multiple times.  Not sure if I had restore point active as I didn’t use the laptop a lot to begin with and last time I used it was 3-4 months ago before the 1 time I used it recently but I guess it auto updated during this most recent time and now it’s stuck.
