Loop: Prepare Automatic Repair - Diagnosing your PC, error
My PC, HP Z440
is in a loop and can Not boot in windows 10:
Prepare Automatic Repair - Diagnosing your PC
===
When booting up:
Prepare Automatic Repair - Diagnosing your PC
I see always... in loop...
I have tried:
1
Safe Mode, Uninstall the latest quality update, Restore back to point 18-10-2021 :
same symptom
2
Troubleshoot> Advanced options > Startup Repair:
same symptom
3
BIOS - System Diagnostics,
checked SSD and RAM
4
BIOS/UEFI - Booted to Command Prompt
RUN
chkdsk d: /f /r
same symptom after all 4 above [d: is my C:/] IN ALL ABOVE
This Symptom came from an update:
Today in the morning I turn ON PC, I was offline[no cable ethernet], and while working prompt for an update[while was dis-connected], after this connected - checked some Gmail, etc. and after 30-min press UPDATE & RESTART,
And got this problem above on startup... loop...
well...?
I found this:
How To Fix A HP In A Preparing Automatic Repair Restart Loop [2021]
How To Fix A HP In A Preparing Automatic Repair Restart Loop [2021] - YouTube
Commands:
chkdsk d: /f /r
<check booting, if failure again loop cont...>
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bcdedit /export c:\bcdbackup
attrib c:\boot\bcd -h -r -s
ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
bootrec /rebuildbcd
=====
that I ask is:
the 1st command is d:/ [d: is Boot disk C: DRIVE]
1
subsequent commands have to put c: even initially insert d: ... chkdsk d: /f /r ?
2
bootrec /fixmbr
even my c: disk is GPT... and Not MBR..?
