Fixing automatic repair loop error on a blue screen
If your screen is showing an error message and is blue, follow these tips to help you solve the problem.
1. Undo changes using System Restore
System Restore rolls your system software back to its previous state by overwriting files on your PC’s local drive.
Use the following steps to perform System Restore:
- Click on "Advanced options” in the automatic repair blue screen
- Navigate to “Troubleshoot” > “Advanced Options” > “System Restore”
- Choose the restore point created right before the blue screen appeared (Windows 10 creates a system restore point each time it installs an update, driver, or app)
- Click "Next"
Wait until the restore process finishes, then restart your computer.
2. Run built-in system repair tools
Windows offers built-in System File Checker and CHKDSK (check disk) utility tools to check and repair missing or corrupted system files.
Access these helpful tools using the steps given below:
- Restart your PC and press the “F8” key (this will trigger the Windows troubleshooting menu)
- Select “See advanced repair options”
- In the “Choose an option” menu, click “Troubleshoot”
- Under the “Troubleshoot” menu, select the “Advanced options” option
- Select “Command Prompt” in the “Advanced options”
- In the command prompt window, type “chkdsk /r c:” and hit Enter. This command will check your drive for errors using the CHKDSK utility and automatically repair them if possible
- Type “sfc /scannow” and hit Enter. This will check the integrity of Windows system files using the System File Checker tool
- Type “Exit” to close the Command prompt
Finally, restart your computer.
