Hello! I'm reaching out because after the automatic installation of Windows 10 recently, I'm currently stuck on my Acer Swift 3. The automatic repair launches and then I get the message indicating it didn't work with the blue screen and all the possible options.
I've searched around and would like to try a reset for example, but I'm blocked because I have a message saying I need to log into the admin account, but there isn't one, so I can't do anything...
How could I get out of this, according to you? Thank you very much for your help!

Hello,
Try the solutions on this page: Windows 10 starts in a loop on automatic repair- try to start without driver signature enforcement (from the advanced settings menu).. if it works, update the drivers.
- if it crashes as well, try restoring the Windows registry from the command prompt.
if no improvement:
Reinstall Windows 10 without formatting:
The principle is to create a Windows 10 installation USB stick and boot the computer from it to reinstall Windows without formatting in order to keep the data.
Since the computer is crashed, you need to create it from another functional computer.
To create the USB stick:
You need a USB stick of at least 8 GB.- Create a USB stick with Media Creation Tool: Download and create a Windows 10 USB stick with Media Creation Tool
- Boot from it by changing the boot sequence and indicating the USB stick or DVD: How to boot the computer from a USB stick
If the USB stick does not work, try making another one with Rufus: how to download Rufus.- Download the ISO file with direct links or from Rufus: Download Windows ISO
- Launch Rufus and then indicate the path to the ISO file
- In partition scheme, choose GPT.
- For more details, refer to this tutorial for the details: how to create a bootable Windows installation USB stick
The Windows 10 installer should then start:
Follow these tutorials that explain how to install Windows 10:
All steps are given from A to Z with tips at the end to secure Windows 10.- Let yourself be guided to install Windows 10.
- Choose customize (not upgrade)
- During the partition phase, select the main partition and click next.
- The installer will tell you that Windows is already present and offer to move it.
- Follow the Windows installation procedure using the tutorial above.
Just don’t format.
Your user data will be copied to the Windows.old folder.
You can then recover favorites, browser passwords, etc.
