All of a sudden, after turning off my pc yesterday, every time it is turned back on, it starts getting diagnosed and then says "Automatic Repair couldn't repair your PC". After trying the troubleshooting advanced options, none of these recovery options work. I watched some YouTube videos involving using the command prompts, but none of these worked and came up with the same error messages each time I tried them. It won't let me uninstall any previous Windows updates, and when I attempt to completely reset the pc and reinstall windows, it just says "There was a problem resetting your pc."

I've attached some photos if anyone knows how this can be fixed. Thanks.

Sounds like the update may have hosed the OS, I haven't installed this latest (KB5012599) update yet and based on this I won`t be doing so atm.

Does this include trying a system restore point that is before this latest update got installed.
 
Sorry to hear that and a painful lesson learned, golden rules of computing are, install Windows on its own partition and never install anything before first creating a new system restore point and then backing up the drive.

The above is bad enough but the sad fact is that you are going to have to do a clean install of Windows followed by the chipset drivers, storage/SATA drivers and then the GPU drivers.

If Windows is not on its own partition and there is data on the drive that you need you are going to have to boot into a live Linux distro and back the data up to an external HDD, a guide to doing this can be provided.
 
Thanks for the response. Could you attach/link the guide to doing the clean installs please?
 
The guide offered was in case you had info that you wanted to back up but no worries, How to Put Windows 10 on USB

See if you are able to repair Windows using the ISO first of all, if no luck, go for the clean install.

You are welcome btw :)
