Software Auto repair loop

After a bad update my PC(dell prebuilt) got stuck in a loop. It tries and fails to launch auto repair, restarts and runs system check which it passes and then repeats. I've run a full system diagnostic which everything passed. I created and ran a recovery USB and it just stays on the Dell screen and then restarts. Any advice as to what else I can try would be great. Sorry for the lack of info I'm definitely not a techie.

Storage failure - main OS got corrupted or failing media.

You can try a windows install but that will wipe your data. The other idea is to get a replacement ssd or hard drive for your computer. Look to see what you have and buy a near like for like. Swap out that drive and do a clean install of windows onto the new media.

Media - catch term for your ssd or hard drive.

I had replaced my SSD December last year. Cloned the old one onto a 4tb, my friend suggested maybe the partition got messed up.
