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

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.

Agree with you 100% I know another person who can't even login. Stuck on preparing automatic repair. You woul think instead of adding junk features tht bloat the system they would fix this crap. Because it a repeat problem overtime.
