00:00 Preparing for Auto Repair explained.
The "Prepare for Automatic Repair" feature is a built-in Windows troubleshooting tool designed to automatically diagnose and fix problems that prevent your computer from starting properly. When Windows detects a problem during the startup process, such as system file corruption, damaged Master Boot Record (MBR), or other critical errors, it may initiate the automatic repair process to try to resolve the problem.
1. If important system files required for startup are corrupted or damaged, Windows may get stuck in the "Preparing for Automatic Repair" loop when trying to repair them.
2. The Master Boot Record (MBR) is a crucial component of the boot process that contains information about disk partitions and the code needed to boot the operating system. Damage to the MBR can prevent Windows from booting properly and cause the "Preparing for automatic repair" loop.
3. Physical errors on the hard drive or SSD, such as bad sectors or disk corruption, can prevent Windows from accessing critical files needed for startup, thus leading to the automatic repair process.
00:59 Repair Master Boot Record (MBR)
The MBR repair process involves repairing or replacing the MBR code, which can fix boot-related issues caused by MBR corruption or damage. This can be achieved using the bootrec /fixmbr command in the command prompt.
02:40 Repair corrupted system files
Windows System File Checker (SFC) is a built-in tool that finds and repairs corrupted system files. Running sfc /scannow in the command prompt can help troubleshoot system files, potentially resolving the /"Preparing for automatic repair" loop.
03:10 Chedk disk error using CHKDSK command
The CHKDSK command is used to find and fix errors in the file system and disk. Running chkdsk /f in the command prompt can help identify and repair disk errors that may be causing boot problems.
03:53 boot into safe mode
Booting into Safe Mode allows you to start Windows with only essential drivers and services, which can help troubleshoot and identify the cause of the /“Preparing for Automatic Repair/” loop. From Safe Mode, you can uninstall recently installed apps or updates that might be causing the problem.
04:36 Uninstall recently installed apps
If the problem appeared after installing new apps or updates, uninstalling them can help resolve compatibility issues or conflicts that may be causing the "Preparing for automatic repair" loop.
05:06 Uninstall recent Windows updates
05:36 Perform system restore (advanced options)
System Restore allows you to revert your system to a previous state, undoing recent changes that may have caused the problem. This can be done using advanced options in Windows Recovery Environment.
