So, I've been having to deal with this problem about two times now. I had no choice but to wipe, however fortunately, I was able to backup all my files before wiping. My second time occurred yesterday, with no choice but to wipe either.
Anyways, I was wondering if there's any fix to this? None of the command prompt commands seemed to work when I was trying to fix it back then either, which is kind of a let down. Hopefully they work now that I have access again though.
Once I got back my desktop after the wipe, I have already opened an administrator-runned command prompt and entered the command "bcdedit /set recoveryenabled no".
I tried doing the same command line when I was having the problem yesterday, with the command prompt option that the automatic repair tool gave, and it still didn't seem to work during that time. Is there a difference between back when I did it and now?
Also, are there any other things I can do to prevent this from happening again?
For the record, I don't turn my desktop regularly as one normally would, but perhaps this is a wake-up call.
Would still like some input on this.
The fact that you were getting this suggests that there is an underlying problem. What happens if you manually run the system file checker or a CHKDSK, do you find any errors? Do you have any hardware that might be playing up - hard disks or memory? You can run diagnostic checks for these to test. Your hard disk manufacturer probably has some disk check software and memory is best checked with memtest86+
You can find help for all these things by searching our tutorials or via Google
I have done a chkdsk, system file check scan, and all of them have reported to no problems.
Back in February, I installed an extra drive, April was the first time I've had this problem, and then now, May, I've had the problem again two days ago.
About once every 3 months, my PC goes into Automatic Repair on booting from cold (power off at mains overnight). I just switch off the PC at the mains, wait a while then restart and it boots fine for fewmonths. I can never find anything wrong using chkdsk, sfc /scannow etc. I could try disabling Automatic Repair using the command bcdedit /set recoveryenabled NO. What would I see in this situation when my PC has a problem booting if I've disabled Automatic Repair?
