Бесконечная подготовка автоматического восстановления Windows
Если вы включаете компьютер, а на мониторе вместо привычного экрана загрузки отображается фраза «Готовится автоматическое восстановление», это значит, что операционная система пытается исправить какие-то критические для её работы ошибки. Если так продолжается долго, значит, ей это не удается.
В этой статье мы рассмотрим, почему возникает ошибка подготовки автоматического восстановления Windows 10 и что можно сделать.
Почему так происходит
Причины появления ошибки с циклической подготовкой автовосстановления:
- Некорректное выключение ПК — без использования кнопки «Пуск», нажатием на кнопку выключения на ноутбуке или системном блоке. Сюда же относится сбой питания или сбой в работе операционной системы (ОС). Из-за нештатного выключения могут повредиться файлы, отвечающие за работоспособность ОС, или реестр.
- Повреждение системных файлов или драйверов из-за вирусов, сбоев программ или обновлений. Вредоносный софт изменяет или удаляет важные компоненты Windows 10, блокирует доступ к ним.
- Конфликты между установленными драйверами и обновлениями, приводящие к появлению «черного экрана» или ошибки.
- Мало свободного места в системном разделе диска. Для корректной работы Виндовс 10 требуется не менее трех гигабайт свободного пространства на диске C, где хранятся системные файлы. Если это пространство заканчивается, ОС будет«висеть», работать нестабильно или перестанет загружаться.
В во всех этих случаях операционная система пытается решить проблему самостоятельно, запуская процедуру восстановления в автоматическом режиме. Когда у неё это не получается, необходимо вмешательство пользователя. Расскажем, что можно предпринять.
Загрузка компьютера в безопасном режиме
Когда подготовка автоматического восстановления Windows 10 не завершается благополучно, в первую очередь нужно воспользоваться безопасным режимом.
В этом режиме запускается минимум программ и драйверов: только самые нужные. Это позволяет избежать конфликтов с потенциально проблемными компонентами, проверить и вернуть операционную систему в рабочее состояние даже в случае «чёрного экрана».
Раньше в такой режим можно было зайти, нажав F8 в процессе перезагрузки системы, но в Windows 10 придется использовать более сложный способ, описанный ниже.
После автоматической диагностики отобразится экран автовосстановления. Нажмите кнопку «Дополнительные параметры»:
Затем перейдите в «Поиск неисправностей» и снова выберите опцию «Дополнительные параметры»:
- Щелкните на «Устранение неполадок»;
- Внутри откройте раздел «Дополнительные параметры»;
- Перейдите в меню «Параметры загрузки»;
- Внутри нажмите «Перезагрузить»;
- После перезагрузки ПК на мониторе отобразятся опции загрузки Windows 10. Чтобы загрузиться в безопасном режиме с поддержкой сети, то есть подключением к интернету, нажмите клавишу F5.
После того, как ваш компьютер включился в этом особом режиме, нужно найти, что пошло не так:
- Запустите утилиту проверки HDD (chkdsk), чтобы проверить, какие ошибки или поврежденные сектора удастся обнаружить. Для этого откройте командную строку (ее можно вызвать просто через поиск на панели управления) и введите в ней команду chkdsk c: /f /r (здесь c: это буква системного раздела, если система установлена на другом диске, то замените букву).
Команда инициирует проверку диска с исправлением ошибок и поиском поврежденных секторов.
- Удалите недавно установленные обновления ОС, из-за которых могли возникнуть конфликты или ошибки. Нажмите «Удалить обновления» и выберите «Удалить последнее обновление компонентов»;
- Проверьте, сколько места есть на диске с системой. Освободите как минимум три гигабайта;
- Перезагрузите ПК, проверьте, загружается ли Windows 10 без ошибок. Если компьютер все еще не включается корректно, попробуйте следующий способ.
Обновление или переустановка драйверов
Еще одна возможная причина бесконечной подготовки автоматического восстановления Windows 10 — некорректная работа драйверов. Так называются небольшие утилиты, обеспечивающие взаимодействие ОС с аппаратной частью ПК.
Если драйверы не подходят к вашей модели устройства или они не совместимы с установленной версией ОС, они может вызывать проблемы при загрузке Windows. Чтобы исправить это, нужно обновить или переустановить драйверы для некоторых устройств:
- Чипсет — набор микросхем на материнской плате , отвечающий за корректную работу шины данных, контроллеров памяти, жёсткого диска. Именно драйвер чипсета обеспечивает правильное распределение ресурсов и оптимизацию работы системы.
- Управление электропитанием — функция ОС и аппаратного обеспечения компьютера или ноутбука, позволяющая экономить энергию за счет перевода устройств в режимы энергосбережения: сна, гибернации или выключения. Драйвер управления электропитанием координирует работу этой функции и предотвращает возможные конфликты при переключении режимов.
- Другие устройства — все остальные компоненты: GPU, CPU, сетевая карта, клавиатура, мышь. Для корректного распознавания этих устройств тоже нужны драйверы.
Чтобы исправить возможные проблемы с драйверами::
- В панели «Пуск» найдите диспетчер устройств.
- Правой кнопкой мыши кликните по нужному устройству.
- Нажмите «Обновить драйвер», а дальше следуйте подсказкам. Можно доверить ОС найти и скачать его самой или указать путь к скачанному вами драйверу. Рекомендуем не загружать драйвера со сторонних сайтов, лучше скачать их напрямую с официального сайта производителя (например, Леново, Асус, HP).
- Если вы хотите не обновить существующий, а заново установить драйвер, нажмите «Удалить», подтвердите действие и перезагрузите компьютер. После перезагрузки ОС сама найдет и поставит нужный драйвер.
Снова перезагрузите компьютер и проверьте, загружается ли он теперь корректно.
Отключение быстрого запуска
Особенности работы этой функции — еще одна возможная причина, почему висит подготовка автоматического восстановления.
Быстрый запуск в «десятке» включен по умолчанию. Это помогает уменьшить время, за которое загружается система, благодаря тому, что часть системных данных сохраняется в специальном файле, который называется «hiberfil.sys». Когда компьютер включается, эти данные сразу подгружаются в оперативную память и восстанавливают состояние ОС.
Функция может приводить к конфликтам в том случае, когда компьютер выходит из режима гибернации, а в системе или подключенном оборудовании произошли изменения. Так получается потому что в таком случае данные больше не соответствуют тем, что сохранены в специальном файле.
Для решения проблемы нужно отключить быстрый запуск. Это можно сделать двумя способами.
Через настройки питания
- Перейдите в панель управления (нажмите левой клавишей мыши на кнопку «Пуск», а потом на «Панель управления»);
- Выберите «Система и безопасность»;
- Дальше вам нужен пункт «Питание»;
- Потом кликните на опцию «Действия кнопок»;
- Нажмите на «Редактирование параметров, недоступных сейчас»;
- Кликните на отметку «Деактивировать быстрый запуск»;
- Выберите «Сохранить изменения».
Через реестр
- Нажмите комбинацию «горячих» клавиш «Win + R», введите команду regedit;
- Откройте ветку HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power;
- Выберите HiberbootEnabled и дважды кликните по нему;;
- Измените значение параметра на 0 вместо 1, подтвердите, нажав «ОК».
Перезагрузите ПК и проверьте, загружается ли Windows 10 нормально.
Системные средства автоматического восстановления
Эти функции проверяют состояние аппаратной части ПК, помогают восстановить поврежденные или утерянные системные файлы из резервной копии, позволяют сбросить систему до заводских настроек.
- При появлении экрана «Автоматическое восстановление» выберите опцию «Дополнительные параметры»;
- Затем нажмите на «Устранение неполадок».
Отобразятся варианты действий:
- Точка восстановления — эта функция «откатывает» все изменения в системе к тому состоянию, которое было на определенную дату. Актуально в тех случаях, когда проблемы с загрузкой возникли в результате установки каких-то программ или обновлений, которые повлияли на работу системы.
Для восстановления выберите соответствующий пункт, укажите одну из доступных точек по дате и описанию. Подтвердите начало процесса восстановления, дождитесь его завершения.
- Сброс системы до заводских настроек — функция, которая полностью очистит HDD от всей информации и установит заново операционную систему. Эту опцию можно использовать, если не получается убрать проблему с загрузкой ОС рассмотренными выше способами.
Для сброса нужно выбрать соответствующий пункт. Далее один из двух вариантов: «Сохранить мои файлы» или «Удалить все». Первый способ позволит сохранить личные файлы (документы, фотографии, музыку и т.д.), но удалит программы и настройки. Второй приведет к полной очистке жесткого диска и установке чистой копии операционной системы.
После использования одного из инструментов автоматического восстановления перезагрузите ПК и проверьте работоспособность системы.
Кратко о том, что делать, когда компьютер по кругу пытается восстановить Windows
- Попробуйте загрузить систему в безопасном режиме. Далее: выполните проверку HDD на ошибки, удалите последние установленные обновления, проверьте, достаточно ли места на жёстком диске;;
- Обновите, либо заново переустановите драйверы для CPU, управления электропитанием, GPU;
- Отключите функцию быстрого запуска, приводящую к конфликтам при восстановлении из режима гибернации;
- Используйте средства автоматического восстановления, предлагаемые ОС: сброс системы до заводских настроек или восстановление из образа системы.

Reasons for Windows 10 or 11 factory reset stuck
The Windows factory reset process can get stuck due to several reasons. One of the most common causes is corrupted system files. This can happen at any percentage of the reset process, but it is more likely to occur at 1% and 99%, and sometimes in the middle of the process, such as 64%. A lot of users from all over have had this problem.
How to fix windows 11 or 10 reset stuck issues
The below are some solutions you can try to fix the issue of Windows factory reset getting stuck at various percentages, such as 1%, 99%, or others.
Wait for the process to complete
Sometimes, it might look like nothing is happening, but the reset is still going on in the background. So, first try waiting for a couple of hours to see if it finishes on its own. If it’s taking too long, then try the other methods below.
System restore your Windows 10 or 11
If you have a system restore point or image saved previously, you can use it to restore your PC to an earlier date. This assumes that your computer was working properly when the system image was created. To do this, you need to boot into Windows Recovery Environment, since you can’t boot into Windows now. Here are the steps:
- Hold and press the power button of your computer to force it to shut down.
- Switch it on again. As soon as it gets past the BIOS screen, force another shut down.
- Repeat this for 3 times. When Windows detects unusual startup, it will boot into Windows Recovery automatically.
In the Windows Recovery, navigate to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > System Restore. Follow the on-screen instructions to restore your PC to an earlier date. See also: How to System Restore Windows 11 or 10 to a Previous Date.
While you are at the Windows Recovery screen, you may also want to try re-running the Windows reset from there.
Run startup repair
If you don’t have a restore point to revert to, try running startup repair for your Windows 10 or Windows 11. This has solved the Windows factory reset stuck issue for many users. If you have a bootable Windows installation disk, insert it into your computer and set your BIOS to boot the disk first. When it’s booted up, choose “Repair your computer” from the Windows installation interface. Next, navigate to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Startup Repair.
If you don’t have a Windows installation disc, you can still run the startup repair from Windows Recovery Environment. Follow the steps outlined in the first solution above to boot into Windows Recovery, and then navigate to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Startup Repair. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the startup repair.
You may also want to try running command line repair tools such as SFC, DISM or CHKDSK using the Command Prompt via Windows RE. For detailed guide on how to do this, see: How to startup repair Windows 11 or 10 using Command Prompt.
Clean install Windows
If nothing works to fix the Windows factory reset stuck issue, the last resort is to reinstall your Windows. Doing this will lose all your files and data on the previous Windows installation, so make sure to backup your important files first.
There are several methods and tools to backup your files when you can’t boot into Windows. The easiest and cost-free method would be to remove the hard disk drives from the problem computer and put them into another working computer. This will allow another Windows PC to read and copy the files in the HDD.
To clean install Windows, you need to first create a bootable Windows 11 or 10 installation media. After that, insert the installation disc into your computer and set your BIOS to boot from the disk first. Once you’re on the “Install Windows” screen, just follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process. Note that this will include formatting your existing hard disk drives.
System Restore is frequently regarded as the most proper troubleshooting technique when a significant error occurs and alternative remedies don’t seem to be working. You have a Windows 10 backup on an external hard drive, but we have come across many people complaining that the Windows 10/11 system restore is taking a long time.
There is no need to worry, though. This post will help and walk you through the working solutions that aren’t too time-consuming to successfully get rid of the Windows 10/11 system restore taking a long time error.
However, before we start, you should know this.
System Restore takes a maximum of an hour to restore. If it has only been a few minutes after restoring the system, I suggest you give the procedure at least an hour to run undisturbed.
However, if it still fails, the system files, the restore point, or background applications incompatible with System Restore are the most likely culprits when Windows System Restore is stuck.
It is normal as it depends on the amount of data and PC configuration. Technically speaking, a System Restore could take up to two hours. Stopping a System Restore once it has been started puts your system at considerable risk of damage. So, it is essential to note that the number of files stored in your hard drive affects how long it takes to restore Windows 10 or 11. Other reasons for the extended time taken for System Restore are given as follows.
- 1. System restore gets interrupted
- 2. Hard drive is full
- 3. Old backup is too big
- 4. System crash
System restore gets interrupted
Interruptions like the System Restore freezing up, or Windows 10/11 Reset taking a long time can make the user feel obliged to force the system to shut down. It can result in not being able to boot the system back. Internal procedures are present in both System Restore and Windows 11/10 Reset. Some of these are important, and failing to perform them could leave Windows unusable.
Hard drive is full
System Restore operates by creating a copy of everything it saves in a pre-designated location on the hard drive. When this space is full, the oldest restore points are deleted to make way for new ones. It can happen every time a restore is created or when it’s running low on the amount of storage allocated to System Restore.
If your primary storage is running low on storage space, System restore will not have enough temporary space to manage everything. Too much data on your hard drive might slow down your computer and cause the system to freeze and crash.
The following article may help you if you want to learn more about hard drive cloning:
Old backup is too big
System Restore takes up a substantial amount of storage on your hard drive. So, you might want to delete some of your old backed-up data, plus you might want to reduce the amount of data the process creates when the space on your device is low. Create a System Restore Point before significantly modifying your Windows 10/11 system.
System crash
The restoration of the system files or registry backup may not be complete if the system crashes during the ongoing process. It might again lead to longer hours of Windows taking time for System Restore.
How Do I Know If System Restore Is Stuck or Not
Sometimes you may meet such an issue of the System Restore not working. Or One of the more frequent issues that may arise during the system restore process is when one tries to interrupt the process, causing the System Restore to get stuck. Let the process do its job and not interrupt it is always essential.
How long does the restoration process take? It usually takes 30 to 45 minutes for the process to complete. If it takes more than the given time frame, refer to the solutions below to fasten the System Restore process.
- Method 1: Implement System Restore in Safe Mode
- Method 2: Implement Startup Repair
- Method 3: Run SFC
Method 1: Implement System Restore in Safe Mode
The first thing to do if your system is stuck on the starting screen or file recovery is to wait, particularly if the restore point holds a lot of data (So it is necessary to know how to backup files in safe mode Windows 10 early). If Windows 10 System Restore hangs for longer than an hour, try forcing a shutdown. Restart your computer and you are back in the account, boot the computer in Safe mode, and then perform a restore.
- Press the Windows logo key + R.
- Type msconfig in the Open box and then select OK.
- Select the Boot tab.
- Under Boot options, check the Safe bootcheckbox.
- Apply and Restart.
Method 2: Implement Startup Repair
