#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : "Automatic Repair couldn't repair your PC" -- the repair loop Fix : Read the repair log before doing anything else Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/win-rec-autorepair-loop Run as : WinRE Command Prompt Expect : 20 minutes Risk : low Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX Always first. It costs twenty minutes and frequently names the exact file or driver. HOW TO UNDO IT Nothing was changed. 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.
