Stuck in Automatic Repair Loop

I totally understand how frustrating it can be when your Windows 10 gets stuck in an automatic repair loop. It prevents the normal boot process and instead goes into endless troubleshooting. Worry not, I have some solutions for you to help break this loop.

Reason for the Automatic Repair Loop

  4. System Restore
