Windows 10: Stuck on Preparing Automatic Repair

I was just minding my business when my laptop froze, so I obviously restarted it. It now just says "Preparing Automatic Repair" and it has been for at least a couple hours. At one point, it gave me a blue screen only to go back to the same loop. It then ran for about another 40 minutes or so when it gave me a blue screen again and did the same thing. I'm still on Windows 10 if that helps. Any way to fix this?

Preparing Automatic Repair

My son's Lenovo Ideapad 110-15ACL has been stuck on "Preparing Automatic Repair" for over a week now. I can't followed any steps listed for remedying it because the computer doesn't respond to any instructions, like holding F8 or even booting from a USB, at all. Has anyone ideas or it's time to discard this 5-year old laptop?

Preparing Automatic Repair

Hello,

After doing the latest update the other day, my laptop has been stuck doing:

1. "Preparing Automatic Repair,"
   
2. "Choose Keyboard Layout"
   
3. "Troubleshoot" or "Turn off your PC"
   

If I click on Troubleshoot, I can select either "Restore MSI factory setting" or "Advanced options"

Advanced options takes me to:

• Startup Repair (which, after Diagnosing your PC," says "Startup Repair couldn't repair your PC with a blank Log file)
  
• Command prompt
  
• Uninstall updates (I tried both quality and feature, both of which gave me a message of "Couldn't uninstall updates")
  
• UEFI Firmware Settings
  
• System Restore (gave me an error message automatically when clicking on it)
  
• System Image Recovery
  

How do I fix?

Thanks
