Windows 10 won't boot and Automatic Repair just loops
Hi,
I'm new here and not very technical
My computer crashed for the umpteenth time, Windows won't load and I get the following error message:
Recovery
Your PC/Device needs to be repaired
A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed
Error code: 0xc0000185
You'll need to use recovery tools. If you don't have any installation media (like a disc or USB device), contact your PC administrator or PC/Device manufacturer.
Press ENTER to try again
Press F1 to enter Recovery Environment
Press F8 to enter Startup Settings
The problem is:
Pressing F1 doesn't enter Recovery Environment, it just loops
Pressing F8 enters Startup Settings about once every 10 attempts, but then pressing keys like 4 or F4 doesn't take me to safe mode, it just loops
I have windows 10 installation media on a USB drive but no way to access it.
