error loop

About this tag
The error loop tag covers Windows startup and repair loops where the system repeatedly restarts or returns to the same screen. Common scenarios include the 'Preparing Automatic Repair' loop in Windows 10, a stuck diagnostic data consent screen, and loops during System Restore or Windows XP setup. These issues often prevent normal booting and may require advanced recovery options like command prompt or boot media. Recurring themes include hardware failures (e.g., PSU), driver problems (e.g., IRQL errors), and incomplete system restores. Users typically seek solutions to break the loop and regain access to their system.
