Win 10 stuck at automatic boot repair

[Paul R]

Hi

I was cleaning my PC when I disconnected the boot SSD. After I was done when I tried to turn the PC on I was stuck at the windows loading screen with the dots stuck. I restarted the PC and then it got stuck at the same screen with preaping automatic repair stuck . I tried to enter the win recovery environment but I couldn't get it no matter what button or key I press (which I found online such as F2,F8,F11,F12 shift +f11 etc). I then tried a bootable USB but it also gets stuck at the same screen after I select it as a primary boot drive. I don't have a recovery drive created but even if create a recovery usb from another PC, how am I to get into the recovery environment if all the PC does is get stuck on the boot loader screen.

 

Please help.

 

Thank you.

You've to use an USB Windows Install stick to boot then if repair ain't possible just reinstall Windows

Thank you for your reply, but I did just that with another USB boot drive but it is also stuck at the same screen I posted.

Look like UEFI problem

Did you reset CMOS?

BTW just stumbled upon Greg Salazar's latest YT vid he has a similar issue to fix, maybe it could work for you

TLDR it was a faulty CPU

I think you need to reinstall windows.

Prob is he can't as even a USB boot gives a BSOD

The problem is solved now. I appreciate everybody who answered. Turns out sometimes even the basic things should be checked first. I reseated the RAM and it works like before now. 

 

Thank you
