How to disable automatic repair loop in your Windows 10 PC

With Windows 10, Microsoft added an automatic repair tool that detects and fixes common problems that may stop your PC from starting up correctly. If your computer goes into the scanning and repair drive loop at startup, the system will run a number of diagnostic tests to detect and fix common startup problems. If you prefer to repair such issues manually and want to disable automatic repair, we will be glad to help you with this.
