I was suddenly trapped in scanning and repair cycles. It's an SSD. Windows asked me to restart my PC for the disk fix, but I did it carelessly and now I can't boot. It won't even start in safe mode, and disabling Automatic Repair in Command Prompt didn't help—it just showed "Your PC couldn't start properly." I also tried running "chkntfs /x c:" to disable the disk check, but that didn't work either. I don’t have any backup image or recovery options. Please check the PC Builders Forum.MP4 thread for help.

It looks like the drive or installation might be faulty. Consider restoring from backups.

Windows automatic restore has some issues and often fails. It might help to check your SSD health using a Linux live CD or similar method. You can also back up important data from your drive while it's running. If the SSD is fine, simply reinstall Windows. You could try troubleshooting yourself and I'm happy to assist, though it may not be worth your time. If you need further help, let me know more details—such as whether you see a blue screen, recent updates, or if there was a power outage.

Another option is creating a bootable USB drive; sometimes the PC will start when plugged in, especially if the MBR is damaged. You can find an ISO download here: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691209
