#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : "Automatic Repair couldn't repair your PC" -- the repair loop Fix : Get past the driver that is failing Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/win-rec-autorepair-loop Run as : WinRE startup settings Expect : 45 minutes Risk : medium Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX New hardware or a driver update preceded it. HOW TO UNDO IT The removed driver package can be reinstalled from the vendor's download. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
