How to fix automatic repair loop in Windows 10

Discover ways to break free from endless Windows automatic repair loops

Automatic repair is a Windows system-recovery tool that diagnoses and troubleshoots common boot errors in Windows 8 and above systems.

It's triggered automatically when a system fails to boot in two consecutive attempts. Once activated, the tool runs a series of diagnostic tests to detect and self-repair problems preventing successful booting.

Instead of fixing boot issues, the automatic repair tool sometimes enters an endless reboot loop. In most cases, users are left with a black screen or blue screen of death. Unsaved data is irrevocably lost, as there's no option to stop or delay the reboot.

There are several reasons for the dreaded automatic repair loop, from a faulty Windows update to missing or corrupted system files, including issues with Windows Registry, Windows Boot Manager file corruption, and incompatible hard drives.

Below are tell-tale signs that indicate Windows automatic repair utility failure.

Signs you ran into Windows automatic repair loop:

Your system displays a black screen with a "Preparing automatic repair" or "Diagnosing your PC" error message
"Preparing automatic repair" appears on a black screen with no indication of progress
"Your PC did not start correctly" or "Automatic repair couldn't repair your PC" appears on a blue screen

Windows automatic repair loop fixes

Whether you're dealing with a blue or black screen error message, the solutions for fixing Windows automatic repair loop error can vary significantly.

Read on to discover how to bypass Windows automatic repair loop error quickly and efficiently in each scenario.

Fixing automatic repair loop error on a blue screen

If you received an error message on a blue screen, these tips will help you fix the issue.

1. Undo changes using System Restore

System Restore rolls your system software back to its previous state by overwriting files on your PC's local drive.

Use the following steps to perform System Restore:

Click on "Advanced options" in 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"

Wait until the restore process finishes, then restart your computer.

2. Run built-in system repair tools

Windows offers built-in System File Checker and CHKDSK (check disk) utility tools to check and repair missing or corrupted system files.

Access these helpful tools using the steps given below:

Restart your PC and press the "F8" key (this will trigger the Windows troubleshooting menu)
Select "See advanced repair options"
In the "Choose an option" menu, click "Troubleshoot"
Under the "Troubleshoot" menu, select the "Advanced options" option
Select "Command Prompt" in the "Advanced options"
In the command prompt window, type "chkdsk /r c:" and hit Enter. This command will check your drive for errors using the CHKDSK utility and automatically repair them if possible
Type "sfc /scannow" and hit Enter. This will check the integrity of Windows system files using System File Checker tool
Type "Exit" to close the Command prompt

Finally, restart your computer.

Fixing automatic repair loop error on a black screen

Select your language preferences, and click "Next"
Click on "Repair your computer"
