"Preparing Automatic Repair", "Your PC did not start correctly" or a spinning circle that never ends — boot problems can lock you out of your laptop completely. They often follow an interrupted update, a power cut or a failing drive. If you are near Noida and Windows will not start, here is what to try and how to keep your files safe.
Common causes
- Interrupted Windows update.
- Sudden power loss during startup or shutdown.
- Corrupted boot files.
- Failing SSD or hard drive.
- Recent driver or BIOS changes.
- Malware affecting startup.
Recovery steps to try
- Disconnect external devices (USB drives, docks) and restart.
- From the blue Advanced options screen, try Startup Repair.
- Try Uninstall Updates → latest quality update.
- Try System Restore if a restore point exists.
- Try Safe Mode (Troubleshoot → Advanced options → Startup Settings → Restart → 4).
- If Safe Mode works, update or roll back recently changed drivers.
Need a technician? If Windows will not start, shows blue screens, fails to update or you need a clean installation, a FixMyTech technician can back up your files where possible and explain the plan before starting. Book Windows installation or troubleshooting online, call 085950 05049 or visit our workshop at Shop No. 71 New, Gwal Pahari, Gurugram.
Protect your files
If Startup Repair fails repeatedly, avoid trying random commands from the internet — some can make data recovery harder. If your data matters, stop and get help. A technician can often copy your files before repairing or reinstalling Windows.
Signs the drive may be failing
- Very slow attempts to boot.
- Clicking from a hard drive.
- "No bootable device" messages.
- The drive missing from BIOS.
In that case, data backup is the priority, followed by a drive replacement. An SSD upgrade with a fresh Windows installation often gives the laptop a new lease of life.
