Your computer keeps restarting after a Windows Update
An update installation was interrupted (by power loss or you shutting it down), and Windows is stuck. Do not force shutdown repeatedly — let Automatic Repair run for 10 minutes. It fixes itself.
Restart loops happen when Windows Update installation gets interrupted mid-process. Power loss, user shutdown, or hardware failure stops the update from finishing. Windows detects this on boot and tries to repair itself, which creates the endless restart loop. Automatic Recovery fixes it without you doing anything — you just have to be patient and let it run.
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step — just tap, no typing needed.
Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Force-shutting down immediately thinking the computer is hung — this resets the recovery process and delays actual repair by 10+ minutes
- Trying to boot from Windows installation media before letting Automatic Repair run — recovery tools are faster
- Unplugging the computer during recovery — this can corrupt the installation further
Signs you need professional help
- If Advanced Startup Options do not appear after multiple attempts, the hard drive can be failing
- If Windows boots but crashes every few minutes, core system files can be corrupted
- If Safe Mode won't load, professional data recovery can be needed
