Windows 10 provides its users with an automated repair tool that can fix most startup issues. However, sometimes, the operating system itself can get stuck in an automatic repair loop, where it continuously tries to diagnose and fix the problem without success. This can be frustrating and can also cause data loss, so resolving this issue is critical.

Here are a few methods to fix a “stuck in automatic repair” loop in Windows 10:

Method 1: Boot into Safe Mode

One of the most effective solutions to fix an automatic repair loop is to boot the Windows 10 system into Safe Mode. Safe Mode starts the system with only the necessary drivers and services running, allowing users to identify and fix the underlying issues.

To boot into Safe Mode, follow these steps:

1. Press the power button to turn on the computer.

2. As soon as you see the Windows logo, press and hold the power button to shut down the computer.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 twice to start the Automatic Repair process.

4. In the Automatic Repair screen, click on the “Advanced options” button.

5. Select “Troubleshoot,” then “Advanced options.”

6. Click on “Startup Settings” and then “Restart.”

7. Select “Enable Safe Mode” or “Safe Mode with Networking” depending on your requirements.

Method 2: Run Startup Repair

Startup Repair is a built-in tool in Windows 10 that can fix errors preventing Windows from starting correctly. It is a powerful utility that can fix the filesystem, the registry, and other critical system files. You can access Startup Repair in the following way:

1. Repeat steps 1-5 from Method 1.

2. Select “Startup Repair” and click on “Run the troubleshooter.”

3. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.

Method 3: Perform a System Restore

System Restore is another effective solution to fix Windows 10 automatic repair loop errors. It can undo recent changes to the system settings, drivers, and software without affecting personal files. To perform a System Restore, follow these steps:

1. Repeat steps 1-5 from Method 1.

2. Select “System Restore” and click on “Next.”

3. Choose a restore point that was created before the automatic repair loop issue appeared.

4. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.

Method 4: Reset Windows 10

If none of the above methods work, resetting your Windows 10 PC can fix the automatic repair loop problem.

However, this should be used as a last resort, as it will remove all your personal files, installed programs, and apps.

To reset Windows 10, follow these steps:

1. Repeat steps 1-5 from Method 1.

2. Select “Reset this PC” and click on “Keep my files” or “Remove everything” depending on your requirements.

3. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
