The computer is preparing for automatic repair, which is a built-in feature of the Windows system designed to help users automatically repair errors and crashes that occur during system startup. This usually means that during the startup process of the computer, the system detects certain issues and attempts to resolve them through automatic repairs. However, when the system is unable to complete automatic repair due to certain malfunctions (such as hardware failure, disk damage, system file damage, software or driver incompatibility, malware or virus attacks, etc.), a prompt of "preparing for automatic repair" will appear, causing users to be unable to access all programs, services, and files within the device normally.
In response to this situation, the following solutions can be tried:
1. Waiting for repair completion: You can wait for a period of time to see if the system can successfully fix the problem on its own.
2. Restarting the computer: Sometimes problems may be temporary, and restarting the computer may solve some temporary errors.
3. Enter safe mode: If the computer cannot start properly, you can try entering safe mode. In most Windows systems, safe mode can be selected by pressing the F8 or Shift+F8 keys multiple times at startup (depending on the system and computer manufacturer). In safe mode, it is possible to uninstall/update incompatible software/drivers, delete problematic files, clear viruses, etc., to fix some system related issues.
4. Use system restore: If the computer can enter safe mode or boot to the desktop, you can try using the system restore function to restore the system to its previous normal state. This can eliminate some issues caused by software updates or configuration changes.
5. Repair Startup: If none of the above methods work, you can use a Windows installation disk or USB drive to start your computer and select the "Repair Your Computer" option. In the recovery environment, you can choose "Start Repair" or similar options to attempt to fix startup issues.
6. Reset or reinstall the system: If none of the above methods solve the problem, it may be necessary to consider resetting the Windows system or reinstalling the operating system. Before performing this operation, please ensure that all important data is backed up, as resetting or reinstalling will delete all existing data.
In order to avoid problems such as "preparing for automatic repair" on the computer, it is recommended that users use the computer reasonably and avoid overheating or damage caused by excessive operation; Regularly check and update systems, software, and drivers; And install reliable antivirus software to protect the computer from malicious software or virus attacks.
