Thanks for getting back to us.
Please note that even if we provide any direct solution right now. Some of the corrupt files will be still in the system. We have to remove them. We can try booting the system to the last point where it was working fine?
Have you created any restore points on your system? Click on "Advanced options” on the automatic repair blue screen. Navigate to “Troubleshoot” > “Advanced Options” > “System Restore” Choose the restore point created right before the blue screen appeared (Windows 10 creates a system restore point each time it installs an update, driver, or app) Click "Next"
Let me know if that makes any difference. If that doesn't work, we have to perform a clean installation of the Operating System.
Keep me posted.
Please click “Accept as Solution” if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.
Click the “Yes" on the bottom right to say “Thanks” for helping.

Hi @redstoneuk1
Welcome to the HP Support Community. From what I have understood your system is stuck with automatic repairs. Do not worry, we are here to help you with it.
An automatic repair loop is an error that occurs when Windows 10 tries to boot and fails, then forcefully boots up the automatic repair tool and tries to repair itself. When Windows can’t repair itself, it reboots and repeats itself in an endless cycle.
May I know if you are able to boot into your system?
Also, did you make any recent hardware or software changes to your system?
Please follow the steps shared below and let me know the outcome of it.
- Restart your PC and press the F8 key on your keyboard before the Windows logo and spinning icon appears. This will cause the Windows boot troubleshooting menu to appear. Select See advanced repair options to begin.
- From the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Command Prompt.
- In the Command Prompt window, type the following command and press Enter: chkdsk c: /r
- If the chkdsk command fails, you can also try using the Fixboot command. In the same Command Prompt window, enter the following command and press Enter: fixboot c:
- Once you are finished, close the Command Prompt window and restart your PC.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Hello
The email sent with suggested solutions had nothing directly relative to my problem As it is specifically relates to an HP problem I would have thought that HP would have an immediate solution. At present there is only one access to the computer thorough the USP ports, Any solution I would think be through that way
I have "been in computers" since IBM launched the first modern day computers in the 1980s. I have built, sold and supported
clients until I retired in 2018 at 87 so you will understand my angst.

Hello
I have tried all your recommendations
1 I can't get access anywhere to get the recoverykey
2 Three times I have created a Recovery on a USB bootable stick but when booting up the USB isn't recognised
I have an external HDD for daily backups but can't get access
A most frustrating experience Is there any way we can break the never ending circle.
My HP Probook was a present from my daughter last year- so t's not an OLD computer
Regards
Eddie

I am really sorry that the issue still persists.
I see that you are trying to perform Operating System Reinstallation on your system. From what I have understood, your USB is not recognized by the system.
Could you try an alternate USB to check if the issue persists? You could also use another USB port to insert it.
Here is a link that will help you. Let me know if you are stuck somewhere. I will be able to look into it.

May I know if there is any difficulty creating the USB drive to perform the Operating System Reinstallation? Could you tell me the issue you are facing with the other system so that we can look into it? Could you share the model number of it, please?
We will wait for your response.
