About this tag
The setup loop tag on WindowsForum.com covers recurring issues where Windows installation or boot processes become stuck in a repeating cycle. Common scenarios include Windows XP setup restarting continuously, a system entering BIOS setup on every boot despite correct settings, and Windows 8.1 installation hanging at the starting setup screen. These problems often involve automatic repair loops, black screens, or inability to complete a fresh OS install. Troubleshooting steps mentioned include using bootrec commands, checking BIOS boot order, and formatting drives. The tag is relevant for users experiencing persistent setup or boot loops during Windows installation or startup.
