How to Enter and Use Automatic Repair Mode on Windows 10 and 11
Automatic Repair Mode is a built-in feature in Windows 10 and 11 designed to troubleshoot and fix common startup issues. Here’s how to access and use it effectively.
Entering Automatic Repair Mode
Restart Multiple Times: If your computer fails to boot, Windows will automatically enter Automatic Repair Mode after several failed startup attempts. If this doesn’t happen:
- Press the Power button to turn off the computer when you see the Windows logo.
- Repeat this process 2-3 times until the system boots into the recovery environment.
Via Advanced Startup Options:
- Boot into Windows, then go to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery.
- Under "Advanced startup," click Restart now.
- Choose Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Repair.
Using a Bootable USB/DVD:
- Insert your bootable Windows USB/DVD and restart the computer.
- Press the appropriate key to access the boot menu (usually F12, Esc, or Del).
- Select the bootable drive and click Repair your computer in the installer menu.
Using Automatic Repair Mode
Once in Automatic Repair Mode, you’ll see a blue screen with the option to troubleshoot or shut down. Select Advanced options under Troubleshoot.
Explore available tools:
- Startup Repair: Automatically diagnose and fix boot issues.
- Command Prompt: Advanced users can run specific commands to repair the system.
- System Restore: Revert the system to a previous working state.
- Uninstall Updates: Remove recent updates that might be causing problems.
Follow the on-screen instructions based on the selected tool. If the repair is successful, your system will reboot normally.
By leveraging Automatic Repair Mode, you can resolve many startup problems without professional assistance. If the issue persists, consider consulting a technician.
