Today I found my VMware Session stuck in the Windows Automatic Repair Loop Fusion 11.1.1 I have tried most advanced options with no luck. Any help welcome!
I have the same problem, which started on Aug 29, I believe. Also Fusion 11.1.1. I had just updated Fusion to 11.1.1.
The "Windows 10 Stuck" message chain is not the problem - Fusion was checked off for me (and unchecking and rechecking did not solve the problem).
Here is the problem:
First it says Preparing Automatic Repair, then Diagnosing Your PC, then goes into Automatic Repair - "Your PC did not start correctly". Options are Restart or Advanced Options.
I have gone through all the Advanced Options. Finally, I even tried the "Reset this PC" options - they don't work either. Also I can't boot into Safe Mode (or any other mode, any time it reboots it goes straight to Automatic Repair).
I can access the Command Prompt. I have tried many options I found on the internet: chkdsk doesn't seem to find any problems on C: and won't run on X: .
The chain
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /scanos
bootrec /rebuildbcd
gets stuck at /fixboot - "access is denied"
I have been able to copy all my data off the partition (I think) but I am not even sure how to reset Windows, seeing as how that doesn't even work. Of course, my preference is to fix the current installation.
Any suggestions appreciated!
