Preparing automatic repair

[Cp2021]

I have a really old notebook and it’s been in preparing Automatic  Repair for four hours now. How do I fix this?

Sometimes, your Windows PC doesn't start the way it should after booting, and then you will receive an error right out of the blue that reads: "Automatic Repair, Your PC did not start correctly." You can try the below mentioned DIY methods to fix the issue:

Method 1: Uninstall New Software or Drivers

Method 2: Run Start-up Repair

Method 3: Run System File Checker

Method 4: Rebuild BCD (Boot Configuration Data)

Method 5: Reinstall Windows

Further, I suggest you to check the below link for more detailed methods:
