Preparing Automatic Repair appears out of nowhere & takes forever?
- by Jörg B.
I shutdown my work machine (Windows 8.1 Pro) without any errors appearing (and without installing any new software and especially no new drivers the last couple days) yesterday evening, turned it on this morning and it automatically started into 'Preparing Automatic Repair' mode.
1st of - is there any way to get more information WHY this is appearing out of the blue and..
2ndly, how long is this usually supposed to take? This is a rather beefy machine (Intel 3770k / 4 core 3.9ghz, Intel SSDs only and 32 gb of ram) but this screen has been 'loading' for almost 1.5 hours now.
Is there any sort of debug/verbose mode that would give me ANY indication what's going on?
