My pc is stuck in a windows repair loop despite sfc finding no errors on the drive. Tells me my computer ran into a problem and it will restart. It does and then says it can’t repair problem. Two radio buttons show they are switch off or advanced options neither of which are clickable.
Very frustrating as it appear the problem was caused by an automatic windows update. Not much I haven’t tried other than a new install which means I lose programs I have paid for. Total pain it seems however I am not alone with this problem.
