So, for the last 4 days I've been troubleshooting this weird issue... to make my story short, I was using my PC normally, played some CoD till like 5 am, turned off my PC, went to sleep, around 6 hours later, woke up, turned on my PC, never got to use it again.
I work as an IT, I'm a Quality Control Engineer and a Computer Technician, so workarounds are my kind of thing. Tried everything, literally everything that I could find on the Internet, from Microsoft Technicians answers to several posts here, to Dell Support Guides, nothing worked. I replaced several components (HDD, SDD, RAM), Re-flashed my BIOS, tried BIOS Recovery, repairing Windows Startup (boot files) by command prompt, disabling my GPU (integrated and dedicated one), several USBs with a fresh and official Windows ISO, all the keyboard shortcuts you can imagine, can't even go on safe mode, I even tried trying to install windows into Legacy Mode and nothing, nothing worked...
After being really annoyed about it, I decided to take it to a repair shop to see what they can tell me about this issue, still waiting for an answer, but today, at 7am, my cousin's boyfriend told me that when he tried to turn on his PC he got the same "preparing automatic repair" message, and the same boot loop issue. Soon after he contacted me, 3 other friends experienced the same thing. Like I told before, my first thought was that this was something regarding nvidia, since every nvidia user got a new update some days ago, but some of them never installed it and some of them don't even own nvidia GPU's, so, it gotta be Windows.
Shortly after this happened, I decided to make a general search on Google, and found out that thousands, yeah, thousands (I'm not even exaggerating) of users had this same issue in the last 2 weeks.
So, what are you going to do about it Microsoft?
I already posted this in many other popular forums to generate awareness, because this seems to be happening more often and there's no real fix, since we all have different PC's with different components/BIOS/etc...
