Windows 10 infinite startup loop issue (requires assistance)

F5F Stay Refreshed Software Operating Systems Windows 10 infinite startup loop issue (requires assistance)

It happened this way... I changed the processor settings in msconfig.exe before exiting. While doing so, I saw a section called timeout. After some investigation, I set it to 3 seconds, which is the minimum. Now, after restarting my laptop, it crashes and displays "Preparing Automatic repair" followed by "Diagnosing your pc." I've tried everything I know, but I need your help. Any suggestions would be really helpful! Thanks, Code.

first thing I would try is getting into safe mode, this can be done by holding the power button to force it to shutdown while it's trying to boot, after 2 or 3 times it usually with give you recovery options, go to > repair > more options > startup settings

It’s preventing the system from starting. If necessary, I can share a video showing the issue, and let me know the problem so it can be addressed. The laptop keeps restarting into the same repair mode without success.

You likely need to start from a Windows installation disk and run commands in the terminal to reverse your modifications.

It's intriguing, but I'm not sure how to explain it. You might consider fixing it with a Windows boot USB if you have one.

I’m not confident about this; I think watching a guide would help. I’ll attempt it tomorrow.

I don’t have a USB drive. If other options fail, I might reset while preserving my private folders, though that’s still a last resort

The reset functioned successfully. That was my final choice, and yes, it resolved the issue. I performed a reset using files, which helped Windows maintain my data securely.
