My windows 8 is stuck in automatic repair?

 

 

It some circumstances the quickest way to get your machine back is to have someone, like a computer repairer, or a knowledgeable friend fix it for you.

 

 

What Recovery options come with your machine?  Do you have a recovery partition supplied that enables you to restore Windows to the day one settings.  You will have to read the user guide or manual that came with your machine, or visit the manufacturer's web site.
