The Windows Server 2012 Essentials is stuck in automatic repair loop.

Question

The Windows Server 2012 Essentials is stuck in automatic repair loop. When in repair mode the C drive is the recovery drive, D is where windows is and E is where the server folders are. Found this out after running diskpart list volumes. So far nothing that has resolved the issue. This is a RAID 5 setup using an intel RAID controller. Any help in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Please try the below steps.

1. If the automatic repair couldn’t really repair your PC and just get you stuck in a repair loop, it’s better to disable the automatic startup repair. Type the following command and press Enter:

bcdedit /set {default} recoveryenabled No

2. A corrupted registry settings can also cause an auto-repair loop. Here is how to restore your registry from the RegBack directory. The RegBack folder is located in :/windows/system32/config, which is used by Windows to hold a recent backup copy of the registry hives.

Assuming your system drive is d:, run the following command to restore Windows registry:

copy d:\windows\system32\config\RegBack* d:\windows\system32\config

if prompted to overwrite existing files, type All and hit Enter. Type exit and hit Enter to close the Command Prompt window. Restart your computer and most probably, you may able to access your Windows system as before.

Also, please always make backup copy of your files before using any of the advices.

Hope above information can help you.
