@Abhilash77, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
The message "Preparing Automatic Repair" after upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11 typically indicates that Windows encountered a startup issue and is trying to fix it automatically. This can happen due to:

  1. Corrupted system files during the upgrade.
  2. Driver incompatibilities or outdated drivers.
  3. Boot configuration issues.
  4. Hardware issues, though less common.

Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this:

Let the Repair Process Finish

Sometimes it takes a while. If it’s stuck for more than 30 minutes, proceed to the next steps.

Boot into Advanced Options

  • Force shut down the laptop (hold the power button).
  • Turn it on and force shut down again when the HP logo appears.
  • Repeat this 2–3 times until you see "Preparing Automatic Repair" followed by "Diagnosing your PC" and then Advanced Options.

Use Startup Repair

  • Go to Advanced Options > Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Startup Repair.

Use System Restore

If you had System Restore enabled:

  • Go to Advanced Options > Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > System Restore.

Uninstall Updates

  • Go to Advanced Options > Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Uninstall Updates.
  • Try uninstalling the latest quality or feature update.

Boot into Safe Mode

  • Go to Advanced Options > Startup Settings > Restart.
  • Press 4 or F4 to boot into Safe Mode.
  • From there, you can uninstall problematic drivers or updates.

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
