Windows 11 update failed, going into endless loop
I got notification to Upgrade to Windows11. It got installed but during configuration it restarted. Now it's now showing "Preparing Automatic Repair " and after 10 mins or so getting on to another black screen "Reconstructing cache metadata". Since the laptop is pretty new, I don't have any recovery point created. And I don't want to reinstall OS as I will loose my important data on it. Please suggest solution.

Here's an example of my WinPE scripts (x64) used to make the image itself:

If the root DACL is corrupt, run this from WinPE ONLY to reset it (this takes between 20 minutes to several hours easily, don't interrupt it either.) Once again ONLY in WinPE for system drives. The volume letter A: or A:\ obviously can be changed to match the volume letter on the offline Windows Image:

active boot disk works quite well, but there are others available.
and then do a clean installation of windows 11 (but you would need to download the iso/usb via the media creation tool) if you have another computer handy for that.- what about all of youre installed aplication like adoby premear and all the games you have loaded and printer driver an video drivers. i dont think i am the only one how cant remember all the log ins an passwords. i dont know about every body els but it sure seams like peopleare going to loos alot of moeny spent on aplication and games. i just dont see people willing to through all that money away that they spent just to be able to keep using microsoft software. now i know why my brother hates microsoft with a pation he dont use eny windows software he uses strickly linux os.
- Nothing worked 😞 Ultimately had to send it to service center. Knew that they would only be able to reinstall OS, wouldn't be able to repair.
