Automatic Repair Issues

Hey, I booted up my PC today to find it loading into automatic repair.
I have my suspicions that it has happened because I have hard reset it for 3 days in a row, this is because my computer restarts itself on shutdown so I thought I shall start hard resetting, not knowing that it, pointlessly, would bring me to have to ask for help.
But it brings me on to automatic repair (the option for exit and continue to windows is gone) and I don't know what I am supposed to do.
Startup repair shows that there is nothing wrong, as expected.

How do I get past this crap and get back into windows?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

 

Welcome to CHF.

From the repair options, go into a command prompt, type in chkdsk /f and press enter. Choose yes if you're asked to dismount the volume. Also note the space between the k and the f.

If that doesn't work, try System Restore.

 

I tried that, got something about a write protection
So I used the command
chkdsk C: /f /r /x

It is looking for bad clusters right now, and is stuck on one, but I will leave it going and report the results

 

Okay, results are in.
Just says windows has made corrections
Then talks about disk space.
Otherwise that's it.
Is this good or a bad exactly? Sounds like a pretty obvious question, I'm hoping it's good (obviously)

 

Too early to tell if it's good or bad.

Type exit to get out of the command prompt and then choose the option to shut down. If it still goes to the repair options and the auto repair doesn't show a problem, then try System Restore.

Also, that chkdsk took much less than time than usual. Is the drive a solid state drive?

 

It still goes to the repair...
I don't have anything to restore to either.

I would try to somehow get into safe mode (if I can) and sort out a restore point, but starting a restore point now seems kind of pointless

Thanks for everything so far anyway!

 

You're welcome.

Go ahead and see if it boots to safe mode:

If it doesn't, then you're looking at a clean install of Window's 10. Did the computer come with W10 or W7?

 

I dont remember, I've changed so many parts in it...
All I know is that it didn't come with windows 10, that was the free upgrade when it came out.

Also, I don't have startup settings, I will try to boot through the prompt. I found

After the command system prompt, enter the command for the safe mode option you want. Enter the information exactly.

• Enable Safe Mode - Type:
  bcdedit /set {default} safeboot minimal and press Enter.
• Enable Safe Mode with Networking - Type:
  bcdedit /set {default} safeboot network and press Enter.
• Enable Safe Mode with Command Prompt - Type:
  bcdedit /set {default} safeboot minimal and press Enter:
  bcdedit /set {default} safebootalternateshell yes and press Enter.

The computer responds with The operation completed successfully when you have entered the command correctly.


Which option do I want?

 

Hold down the shift key when you power up. That will attempt safe mode.

If that doesn't work, let it go to the auto repair and from there go into Troubleshooting>Advanced Options>Startup settings. Choose safe mode when it restarts.

 

I don't have the option for startup settings, I have UEFI firmware instead.
But I will try this shift key thing.

 

It doesn't matter what bios you have to access the start up settings. When the auto repair say's it can't find a problem, then choose Troubleshooting or Advanced Options>Startup settings. Choose safe mode when it restarts.

 

The shift key thing does nothing.
And again, I don't have start settings as an option.
It has been replaced with bios.

 

The screen you posted is from the repair tools built into Windows. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the start up settings option.

Run the chkdsk command again and post the log.

 

That log shows that whatever drive you ran the chkdsk on, has impossibly low storage space, or is defective.

Go into the command prompt and type in c: to change the command line to C. Now type in chkdsk / r and post back the log.

 

That took its time, significantly different results.

 

That's much better. The C drive is fine.

Do you have more than one drive?

Go ahead and attempt safe mode with:

bcdedit /set {default} safeboot minimal and press Enter.

X out of the command screen and press continue.

 

Do I have to type C: before that? Because this is what I get otherwise.

 

I've never used this method as I have a USB stick with all the repair options. With that said, go ahead and try c: first. It looks like you may have more than one drive.

Edit: Oh wait, you forgot the d in bcdedit.

 

I get the same thing :/ worth a try though.
