For no apparent reason, my laptop started doing Automatic Repair and diagnosing my PC when I booted it. Exactly 1 hour and 30 minutes ago, it was perfectly fine. Didn’t do anything weird or out of the ordinary. The only thing I did was use a bootable Linux USB drive but I’ve done that for well over a year now.

Automatic Repair then couldn’t fix the issue and said “Your PC did not start correctly.”

I already:

1. Tried resetting the PC – only to have it stuck on the reset at 3% for hours

2. Tried command prompt – checked all my drives for errors – nothing on any of them. SFC scannow however says that “Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation”

3. Tried rebooting from a Restore Point – only to find out that my goddamn fucking computer didn’t save any Restore Points. What the shit? I swear on my grandparent’s grave that I set it a long time ago to save Restore Points.

4. Tried safe mode and low resolution video mode – Automatic Repair still got in the way

5. For God’s sake, I even entered a command in command prompt to disable Automatic Repair but somehow when I rebooted Automatic Repair still got in the way.

This is really aggravating.

I’m probably going to try to reimage it using a bootable USB drive with Windows 10 on it. But now I have to go out and buy another USB.

I haven’t installed anything new on my laptop in ages. I seldom use it aside from a backup for my desktop and using it on the go.

My laptop is a Lenovo Edge 2.
