Avast Uninstall Resulted In Automatic Repair Loop
Aug 20, 2015
So I thought I'd try out free version of Avast. Well, after few weeks of getting rocked by popups, I uninstalled it(from programs and features) and rebooted it, thinking life is good now. Hell naw it ain't good now, not at all.
I'm stuck in Automatic Repair loop. Windows attempts to auto repair, tells me my PC didn't start properly, does not boot to safe mode, does not find any restore points, fails to "Startup Repair" and is unable to "Reset this PC"
In command prompt that I can open in that cute lil blue metro interface I get following:
1. Disks are there and volumes are healthy(tho volume letters are wrong my os SSD is D: and storage HDD is C: )
2. sfc /scannow tells me that there is a system repair pending which requires reboot blah blah fml
3. dism ran against D: with /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth fails with logs containing few errors(among tons of info logs):
*Error creating registry mapping:COMPONENTS - CIfflineRegistry::Init
*Failed to mount the remote registry
*Failed to set the windows directory to 'D:Windows'
4. dism ran with /revertpendingactions gives me same errors in logs as above
that's pretty much it. So is my registry completely screwed?

I'm trying to resolve an issue with a Windows 10 desktop, HP small form factor purchased with OEM Win 7. Windows Update suggested Windows 10 and now the machine boots to the automatic repair screen but there is no mouse or keyboard function where the option panes appear.
While I did purchase the computer myself originally, it was purchased for the use of my church group, and two weeks ago came under the care of my co-deacon and friend. So, let's just say there is no recovery media now for Win 7 or Win 10. I can create a recovery disk here at home from one of my local Win 7 systems, but not sure if that will work or not.
I'd be perfectly happy to un-install Win10 from the machine, but there doesn't seem to be a way to get to the recovery partition... all F-key options have been tried.
This is a Core Duo processor.

So when I'm trying to log on, my computer does the whole automatic repair thing, but constantly loops. Now, I know this has been notified before, even for windows ten, but it seems I just can't fix it. All the solutions on the articles I've seen don't seem to work .

Recently I got a new gaming PC which came with windows 7. The day after i upgraded to windows 10 and it was working fine. Yesterday i was using my PC and then the task bar disappeared so i decided to restart the computer to try and fix it. When the computer turned on again it went through the normal startup process but when it got to the windows logo it said preparing automatic install and then kept looping through startup and the windows logo. I have tried doing the system repair but when I press F8 nothing happens, so right now all i can do on the computer now is access the BIOS.

have an Asus Laptop running Win 10, upgraded from win 7. While reading one of the many links from Facebook, using Chrome as a browser, I got a popup that looked like some kind of ransomware . The popup would not close so I turned off the computer.
Now when I turn the computer on it flashes the Asus logo. Then “preparing automatic repair”, “diagnosing your computer” followed by “repairing your computer” appear. It then tells me that the PC did not start correctly and gives me the option to restart or advanced options. Restart brings me back to this point.
Advanced options gives me three options, Turn orr the PC that does that, Exit and continue to Win 10 that gets me back to the previous step or troubleshoot. Trouble shoot gives me the options to reset or more advanced options.
Reset is either a partial or full removal and reinstall or windows. I have some academic software that I do not want to lose if possible and in any case do not have any media to do a Windows reinstall.
The advanced options gives me six choices.
1 System Restore, but there are no restore points found.
2 System image recovery, but I do not have an image disc .
3 Startup repair, starts the process all over and does not find the problem.
4 Command Prompt, appears to open a working command prompt.
5 Startup Settings, Gives me a non clickable list of options but just continues the loop.
6 Go back to previous build. It warns me that I may lose apps and any changes I have made, but not my personal files.
The System is an ASUS laptop, X54C, made in 2012 with Widows 7 Home premium updated to win 10. I have no other access to the computer.

I have upgraded from windows 8.1 to Windows 10 The upgrade went well and i was able to use my computer initially. After i restarted my computer, i am stuck in Automatic repair loop.
I have downloaded a copy of windows 10 iso image and made a windows 10 USB boot drive. I tried repairing the startup issue as suggested in some of the forums but no joy.
Its a new PC setup three months ago. Sad there was no hardware or app compatibility check before upgrading.
Config: Intel I7 with 16GB RAM. dual boot with Ubuntu

I have had this loop for 4-5 hours now, and I have not found any fix for it. I am using build 10240. I have tried reverting back to windows 7, and that failed. Tried start-up repair, that failed. Tried system restore and image recovery, those failed too. Even resetting my pc has failed. I have tried cmd commands, and those also failed. I have upgraded to windows 10 via online from Windows 7, and I do not have a disk or another computer to work with. Nothing has even caused this issue. I just booted my pc like any other day and I was sent into this loop. I have a Gigabyte USB 3.0 powered motherboard.

I was running the Win 10 build 10074, in the slow ring. I left it unattended for update, which included the newer build 10130. Before leaving, it was at 99% downloaded. When I returned after 30 mins, it was stuck in an endless restart loop.
It restarts within 2 seconds of displaying the Windows logo, when I try to boot from the HDD. If it goes into Automatic Repair, it shows "Starting automatic repair" under the logo and restarts after some time.
But the worst thing is that the same problem occurs, Even if I try to run Windows 10 setup/repair from a USB drive!! (build 10130). It just reboots a few seconds after showing the logo, even when I removed the HDD. I am totally stuck. I am currently running Ubuntu from a USB drive, which is working just fine.
I am not sure what happened in my absence, though it's unlikely that the newer build was installed in just half an hour. The only idea thing that I can think of and have not tried is to try running an earlier build or version from the USB drive.

During startup automatic repair launches, restart ensues, that's the loop. The error mssg is WDF violation which it seems is related to iTunes. I just can't get out of this loop to do anything about it. I don't have a boot disc. Safe mode is what I would like, but that doesn't work.

I upgraded to Win10 about a month agn Friday my pc was stuck in the Automatic Repair Loop. I tried alt+ctrl+del no result. I reboot and pressed F10 the monitor went to sleep mode. When I pressed the on button on the monitor, the Monitor Status reads as follows:
DVI: No signal
VGA: No signal
Auto Switch Source: on
Default Source: DVI
At a point in time, a msg appeared saying "check video cable" so I used the VGA cable on two different ports no success. I bought a DVI-D cable and used it still the monitor is in sleep mode

Yesterday my computer started up the automatic repair service when i turned it on. It attempts to diagnose the problem and fails. I've run chkdsk on both the boot and regular partitions of my install drive. I tried to repair using an install disk but it says it cant because my install drive is locked. I also tried resetting from within the recovery environment. When I did it got to 8% and then said it couldn't reset the os as it encounter a problem during the reset. I'm running Windows 10 off an SSD.

Although, the upgrade this morning initially was successful - it did reboot into Windows 10. When I restarted the machine, it's now stuck in the setup repair loop. None of the options seem to work, even if I try and have it reinstall windows while keeping my files, it still restarts and goes back to the setup repair. I really don't want to do a clean install as I didn't make a backup of my files (which I will always do from now on).

So i found a possible repair on fixing the current situation o the infinite loop from this forum [URL].... around step 13 it said"If any one of them are 0 bytes, then you should stop what you're doing now and seek an alternative method of recovering your system, because Windows cannot function with a 0-byte size registry hive ". I have 0 as my "RegBack" values and i can't find an alternate .

I have a booting problem with my Windows 10, after having it for two months. Few days ago after turning my PC on, I had a message Starting Windows Repair, after some time it shows me the same screen with text - Diagnosing your PC. Then after having a black background, a light blue screen appears with error 'Your PC did not start correctly', it gives me options to restart it again or to open on Advanced options. There are so many of them, I tried all except the one with Restarting PC and deleting files, all the others, including Safe Mode won't work. I am stuck now here and can't use my PC.

I was trying to play a game the other day after not playing for a long time. I hadn't restarted the computer in days. The game wasn't loading properly so someone suggested restarting the computer. I decided to restart my PC. Waiting for it to restart i was met with a Windows failed to start or something like that. I clicked advanced options i first clicked System Restore and of course all the restore points i set every month were somehow gone. Because i waited and waited and waited and suddenly it told me there was no restore points found. I then tried opening up the command prompt and switching to the D: drive because for some reason my HDD becomes D in the automatic repair. But anyways i punched in chkdsk /f. I was surprised at how much it found. I then thought it might actually start now! I restart. It doesn't work. I turned off the computer last night and haven't touched it since.
P.S. I also tried Resetting. That failed too.

So I finally made a .iso file for W10 Pro x64 and started installing it. Everything went smoothly my PC restarted 2 times. But when it got to 81% (in total) while "Installing drivers and features" it resterted for the third time and then it started giving me the "Preparing automatic repair" and then "Diagnosing your pc" stuff. I was able to launch the automatic reapair and roll back to W7.

Getting weird problem with Windows 10 Pro. So few days ago when i ran memtest few hours without error, but after finished test i reboot pc and Automatiic repair started before windows. Is this something with memory ? Memory trigger that error? Or it is software issue? Coincidence ?
When starting Windows 10 boot loader starts by "preparing automatic repair" and diagnosing pc. Interesting is that if I restart Windows (after procedure mentioned earlier) it will boot normally. This startup problem occurs only when starting system again after shutdown.
My disk is Samsung Evo 250 GB SSD. I run HD TUNE but no errors and CrystalDiskInfo Smart is fine 100% GOOD. Rams are 2x8gb DDR3 Kingston Hyperx 1600mhhz.
Memtest86 not showing errors. So its a hardware related or not?

I have a Windows 10 computer, but whenever I try to turn it on. It just gets stuck on the windows logo. I have tried a recovery USB, but it hangs as well on the windows logo.
When I tried doing an automatic repair, it also hung on the windows logo with Preparing Automatic Repair for hours. I am doing this for my friend, and he doesn't want to loose his important files (yes, i know, he should have backed them up).

I've been using Windows 10 for few weeks now and it's been really good.
8GB Ram
1 TB Hard Disc
Asus Motherboard
i5 processor
Used the PC as I would normally do and shut it down last night. Recently installed the latest update for Win 10 as I recall. Otherwise no new changes or installation to the system.
So now when I switched it on its showing Automatic Startup Repair and it diagnose the PC but fails every time and shows a blue screen of startup repair where I can:-
- reset PC (reinstall but this fails at 36%)
- system restore or image restore ( but can't use either)
- startup repair (doesn't work either)
- command prompt (tried sfc/scannow and they won't allow me to do so unless I restart but keeps getting same error.
Tried unplugging the hard disc etc but same old loop again.

Obviously I can't click on anything or type anything because the loop is constant. I've been reading forums etc for the past couple of days for a fix for this Automatic Repair loop..nothing that would work and I notice many others the past year also never found a solution.
I burned on a dvd a Windows 10 bootup thing- as suggested by someone. That doesn't stop the loop either- and yes, I did get to the page via F12 that allows to change it to boot from the DVD etc.

This afternoon my wife was doing something on the computer, got stuck, and rebooted. Once she rebooted a screen popped up into a repair diagnostic screen and said it was diagnosing the error to repair it. Only problem was that it didn't repair anything and the options that were available were all tried and nothing fixed this infinite loop issue. Luckily, I backed up my system with Acronis TrueImage so as we're speaking my PC is being restored. Windows 10...

I keep getting the "Automatic repair" at boot time and then it diagnoses and later it says it failed.
I've checked several forums now regarding this error, I've tred the following :
1. I tried setting the recoveryenabled to No in using bcdedit. No use.
2. Tried rebulding bcd, No use.
3. Tried resetting by choosing "keep my files" option{Because they are important and I've several programs installed which i don't want to lose).
4. I did chdsk on all drives.
5. Even though I've restore points, it says no restore points found.
