    Hello, I'm Quinn and here to help!

    The previous answer is already good, based on your logs, your system is repeatedly triggering StartupRepairOnline + AutoFailover, which usually indicates system file corruption, boot issues, or disk problems. Just to add, here are some methods you can try:

    Method 1:

    1. Press Win + S, search for Command Prompt, then Run as Administrator
    2. Type the commands one by one and hit Enter:
      • sfc /scannow
      • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    3. Wait for both to complete, then restart your device.

    Method 2:

    1. Press Win + S, search for Command Prompt, then Run as Administrator
    2. Type and hit Enter:
      • chkdsk C: /f /r /x
    3. Type Y when asked to schedule scan
    4. Restart your PC
    5. Let it complete fully.

    Method 3:

    1. Hold Shift and click Restart from the Start menu
    2. Go to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options >Command Prompt
    3. Run these commands one by one:
      • bootrec /fixmbr
      • bootrec /fixboot
      • bootrec /scanos
      • bootrec /rebuildbcd
      • exit
    4. Click Continue – Exit and continue to Windows 11
    5. See if Windows crashes.

    For me to better understand the situation, could you please share:

    • What steps you have already tried
    • If possible, the minidump file (C:\Windows\Minidump)
    • Your system specifications
    • Any recently connected external devices (USB, drives, etc.)

    Frequent crashes with StartupRepairOnline entries indicate Windows is repeatedly detecting startup or system integrity problems and invoking automatic repair. Use these supported steps to stabilize Windows 11 and repair startup and system files.

    1. Run Startup Repair from Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE)
      1. Access Windows RE: follow the steps in "Access the Windows Recovery Environment" from the Startup Repair article.
      2. In WinRE, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Repair > Restart.
      3. If prompted for a BitLocker key, retrieve it as described in the article.
      4. Let Startup Repair complete and review any message it shows (it will attempt to fix missing/damaged system files, boot configuration, MBR, incompatible drivers, and registry errors).
    2. Apply basic blue‑screen/black‑screen troubleshooting If the system is still crashing or restarting unexpectedly after Startup Repair, follow these Windows 11 steps:
      1. Remove any new hardware added shortly before crashes (USB devices, expansion cards, etc.), then test.
      2. Boot into Safe Mode:
        • Use WinRE → Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings > Restart, then choose Safe Mode.
        • In Safe Mode, continue with the next checks.
      3. Check Device Manager for driver issues:
        • Right‑click StartDevice Manager.
        • Look for devices with a yellow exclamation mark.
        • For each, choose Update driver; if that fails, Disable or Uninstall the device and test stability.
      4. Ensure enough free disk space on the system drive (C:). Aim for at least 10–15% free space so Windows can create swap files and perform maintenance.
      5. Install the latest Windows Updates:
        • Go to Start > Settings > Windows Update and select Check for updates.
        • Install all important/critical updates and restart.
    3. Use System Restore if crashes started recently If the crashes began after a recent driver, app, or update change and the system previously worked:
      1. Boot into WinRE.
      2. Select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > System Restore.
      3. Choose a restore point from before the crashes started and complete the restore.
    4. If problems persist, perform a Windows recovery option If Startup Repair, Safe Mode troubleshooting, updates, and System Restore do not stop the frequent crashes, use a broader recovery option appropriate to the situation, such as:
      • Reset this PC / reinstall while keeping files, or
      • Another option from Recovery options in Windows 11.

    Choose the least‑destructive option first (for example, keep personal files) and follow the documented steps.

    If still experiencing frequent crashes after all of the above, advanced debugging of stop codes and drivers may be required, as described in the advanced troubleshooting guidance referenced from the blue‑screen article.
