How to Disable Windows 10 Automatic Repair at Startup

When your Windows 10 PC crashes twice consecutively or fails to boot, it will automatically run the automatic repair procedure at the next startup to diagnose and fix your issue. However, it's quite common that automatic repair feature may fail to work or go in loop. In this tutorial we'll show you different ways to disable automatic repair on Windows 10, even if your PC won't boot.
