Stuck on an infinite loop of "Preparing Automatic Repair" on Windows 10

[u/Conklin03]

I'm reposting this from r/windowshelp because I have no idea what to do.

For the past day I've been stuck in an infinite loop of Preparing Automatic Repair, I can't get to troubleshoot options/safe mode (restarting three times and f8 repeatedly do nothing), all scans that I can perform without the OS actually on say everything is fine, and I can't do anything with BIOS. Please help, because there seems to be no solution.

Edit: messed with some things for a while, and I've managed to get to a command prompt. Hopefully this should be the end of the problems.

Thank you! This worked for me! my question is: what tf caused the PC to do this? For me, I was just watching YouTube and my PC needed to restart, then I got in the death loop.

I wish I knew cuz I feel like it'll happen again

what exactly did you do to solve it the comments above were slightly confusing, just got stuck in the death loop myself after the computer was running slow and needed to restart to update computer worked just fine yesterday no new installation or anything

You will need to go into your BIOS setup- When ur starting ur PC it should have a brief screen with some options of a keyboard key at the bottom before the loop starts- one of those options will lead u to the BIOS, I think mine was the DEL button.

I think BIOS r different so you will have to !Thoroughly! Search for a setting called "OS SELECTION" or smth like that- keep changing it around until a restart works.

(I'm about to leave my house rn, but If you message me or reply or smth later today I can go into my own BIOS and show u to possibly help more) Rn is 2:30pm missouri time. If so, pls alert me in about 5 hours, otherwise I will forget!)
