Stuck in Automatic Program repair loop

Booted up my Windows 8 desktop it went into the Automatic program repair loop. I finally got it to boot up from the back-up drive - however every time I restart it goes back to the loop. Tried running CMD like suggested in other posts.. it says I
am denied access. How do I fix the loop problem?

From what you have described, it would appear that you are entering the commands incorrectly or that some of the core files of the operating system are corrupt. Be sure you are entering the commands
as detailed here by Microsoft Support. By default, the boot files is stored on the active partition of the system, usually the system partition, not C. The command
BootRec /RebuildBCD will automatically apply to the active BCD and is the key command out of the set to get to run.
You can also run it from a
USB Recovery Drive, which in your case sounds like it might be a good idea to ensure that the commands run from a verified source rather than a potentially corrupt set of system files.
If you are able to repair your boot process, you may want to follow up with the command
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to instruct the system to check the system files for corruption or errors and to replace corrupted files.

Stuck in Windows Startup Repair Loop - U410

Hey guys, back with another problem. I'm this close to just giving up on this laptop.
I had used the laptop last night like to normally do - emailed some people, checked the mail, wrote some homework up. Shut down normally when I was done. I opened it this morning only to find thecomputer going into Windows Startup Repair.
I shrugged and said okay. the repair happened quickly and it then took me to the normal loading screen.
At which it stayed on loop for about an hour (I was able to watch a movie in the meantime on my phone only to see that it still wasn't done). I then forced shut down through the power button. Waited roughy a minute and then started t up again. This time I picked the option of Start Windows Normally hoping to see if a shut down from there would fix the problem. Only it was stuck on the loading screen for about twenty minutes.
Force shut down again. I went back to starting windows repair like it prompted me to do. Another hour wait at the looping startup screen.
I wish I could post a picture of the thing for you to see.
This is roughly my sixth or seventh time trying to start the computer.
I've also tried that method with the NOVO button as some posts say to do, but nothing is happening.
Should I just take the laptop into my nearest bestbuy or future shop??

I can't seem to access safe mode at all - I did the option of pressing F8 repeatedly but it seemed to ignore it and go into the option of either starting the Repair or running windows normally.
Once it does the repair, it stays on this screen indefinitely. The same goes with trying to start windows normally - it stays on the Loading Windows screen.

Yoga 2 Pro Windows 8.1 stuck in automatic repair loop

So my Yoga 2 Pro is stuck in the (in)famous Windows 8 Automatic Repair Loop, and I'm not sue how to fix it now. I unfortunately neglected to create a Recovery USB stick, so what are my options without it?
I've already tried booting the computer with the Novo button and choosing System Recovery, but at that point the system goes right back into the Automatic Repair loop. I'd strongly prefer to back up my data before resintalling Windows if that's an option--is it possible to stick the SSD into another computer to do so?
Also, would a USB recovery disc created by someone else with a Y2P be useable on my system? I don't need the full partition image since the one already on mine should suffice. I'm also unsure of my system's Windows 8 Product Key, where can I get that if/when I do need to reinstall Windows?
Thanks for any help, it's greatly appreciated.

First and foremost, good luck:
Method 1:
Wait for the machine to boot into the 'Automatic repair couldn't repair your PC' error message.
Click the 'Advanced Options' button
Open cmd and type:
bootrec /fixMBR
bootrec /Fixboot
bootrec /rebuildBCD
and also
chkdsk /r c:
chkdsk /r d:
Method 2:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNKEsOF7e4M
Method 3 (copied from a youtube comment):
1. Turn on the computer.
2. Wait for the machine to boot into the 'Automatic repair couldn't repair your PC' error message.
3. Click the 'Advanced Options' button
4. Click the 'Troubleshoot' button
5. Click the 'Advanced options' button
6. Click the 'Startup Settings' button
7. Wait for the system to reboot into the 'Startup Settings' menu (is the same menu for safe mode)
8. Select the 'Disable early launch anti-malware protection' option. (Press '8')
9. If this worked for you, you should now boot into windows.
10. Now you can shutdown your system and it should hopefully work first time the next time you start the system.

Lenovo G780 stuck in Automatic Repair Loop after Windows 8 update

My recent Windows 8 update stuck my computer into an infinite automatic repair loop which results in a blue screen amd the process repeats itself. I tried the OneKey restore feature and the system recovery feature just hangs then it goes back to the same loop issue with rebooting. I called Lenovo for recovery discs since I don't have any any but my concern is does it matter if I mentioned whether I had a 32 or 64 bit OS? I told her to make sure it was for a Windows 8 system amd she just said it works for the G780 models. I'm just hoping these discs work.for a 64 bit system

It should work. Support cannot send you recovery disks if you didn't provide them your serial number. They can check the correct pre-installed OS from your serial number so I'm sure they're sending out the correct disks.

Server 2012 R2 Essentials stuck in Automatic repair loop on every reboot

We are running Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials on a brand new Dell PowerEdge T110. Nothing new has been installed or are we running any special software. This server is a doing DHCP, Domain Controller and DNS. It is also intergrating the Office365.
I am assuming a windows update did this but i cannot pinpoint when exactly this happened and which update since it was a couple months ago. But everytime we try to reboot this server it goes to that Windows 2012 repair screen and asks us if we want to troubleshoot.
I am able to break this loop by going into safe more and then rebooting but this doesnt fix it, it only allows us to then boot windows normally once after that. But this can only be done when we are onsite and not remotely so we havent rebooted this server
or ran new windows updates in quite some time.
Any help or input would be appreciated.
Thank You

Tried multiple ways to get into BIOS to do a repair from a USB stick made from another OS 8....but can't get into BIOS to change the boot. Tried F11 to do factoy resest....just puts me back into the loop. I have a feeling my client downloaded a bad 8.1.

That would be the best thing to first do and then use the recovery media of which you will now have to order since the O/S seems corrupted beyond repairs. This way you can be sure the recovery media will restore it back to factory install and hopefully they will not do this again til they will consult first before upgrading the O/S.

Hp 2000 preparing automatic repair loop

I recently purchased the notebook and do not have a windows 8 disk and cannot do anything from the InsydeH20 setup utility version F.37. How can i get it to boot up?

Hi CodyC,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I see that you are stuck in an automatic repair loop. From all my research it appears that you do need either an installation disc or a recovery disc. If you can get into into safe mode then you can try this Microsoft Answers link but with it being Windows 8 you need to get to the OS to trigger safe mode

Automatic Repair Loop

When I turn my computer on, the Automatic Repair screen comes up. I have tried almost all of the Advanced Options and nothing has worked. I DO NOT want my data deleted! I have hundreds of photos that are not backed up anywhere else. I also cannot find my disc that came with the computer (which could be used for recovery I'm assuming). Can I somehow fix this on my own or will I need to take it to a professional?
Not very happy with this, looks like it has been a problem for a lot of customers.

The latest critical update from Microsoft (7/20/2015) seems to have created this automatic repair loop. Widows 8 came installed - I upgraded to 8.1. The only suggestion provided by HP that I have not tried is to get Windows disks and try to boot the computer from them and use the system repair tool. How successful is this? How do I get the appropriate software?

Windows 8.1 won't boot after repair loop fix

I have a 1 year old Gateway desktop with Windows 8.1 installed at the factory so I have no Install disk. My problem began when the computer went into a repair/recovery loop which I found out is a common unresolved bug for Windows 8.1. After hours and hours
of internet search and trial and error I was able to get the repair loop resolved by going into command prompt and typing "bcdedit /set {default} recoveryenabled No}". I then tried rebooting and the Recovery page came up stating:
Your PC needs to be repaired.
The operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors.
File: NETIO.SYS
Error code: 0xc000000f
When I tried all of the options to address this problem none of them worked. I can't even boot into safe mode. Any suggestions?

Hi Boomer3s,
Can we boot into the Windows Recovery Environment now (Restart and keep pressing "Shift")?
If the Windows Recovery Environment is not available ,we can choose to boot from a installation media .We can make a Windows 8.1 installation media here.
Create installation media for Windows 8.1
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-HK/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media
a)      Insert the installation DVD or USB and boot Windows 8.1 from it.
b)      In the ‘Windows setup’ page select the ‘Language to install’, ‘Time and currency format’ and the ‘keyboard or input method’ and click on ‘next’.
c)       Click on ‘Repair your computer’ and select ‘Troubleshoot’.
d)      Click on ‘Advanced options’ and select ‘Automatic Repair’ and select the operating system.Or the "System restore option "
Hope this helps
Best regards

Hi,
Shut down the notebook. Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu. Select the Bios option ( f10 ) and under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run tests on both the Hard Drive and Memory. Post back with the details of any error messages.
Note: If the option to run these tests is not available in the Bios Menu, use the f2 diagnostic menu instead.
Can you also post back with the full Model No. and Product No. of your g6 series notebook - see Here for a guide on locating this information.

Probably the best place to start is the right forum for your product. This is the forum for Distiller Server, a long dead product used by big companies, and probably not what you have. If you can't find the right forum, please let us know the FULL name of what you paid for (please check your invoice, as Adobe have many similar products), and we can perhaps direct you. Good luck!

That can sometimes be caused by a damaged ipod photo cache.
If you remove the current ipod photo cache, does that get you past the error?
For instructions on where to find it, see the following document:

How do you make a photo in DW that changes automatically in a loop and needs no visable buttons?

I'm sorry to be so vague. I have recently found out that what I want
to do is put my images in a javascript image rotator. I have looked
this up on google and have now tried about 6 different codes. I try to
follow the insert directions but I must be doing something wrong. I
get the first photo linked up but can never make the picture change to
show the other two photos in the image folder.
Can you direct me as to how this works in dw?
Thank you so much for helping.

How to abort instances which are stuck in automatic activity

Hi,
Some of the instances are got stuck in automatic activity of a process, how can we abort those instances. In engine db - PPROCINSRANCE table i am able to see the instances but PTODO table, it doesn't have any records.

Any suggestions?

Execute the following query:
DELETE FROM PPROCINSTANCE WHEER INSTID = "<Instance_id_to_be_deleted>";
For soft delete execute & commit the following query:
UPDATE PPROCINSTANCE SET STATE=64 WHERE INSTID= "<Specify_Instance_Number>";
Hope it helps you.
