How to fix your PC needs to be automatic repair

The error message "Your PC needs to be repaired" with error code 0xc0000185 typically indicates an issue with the system's boot configuration. Here are some steps you can try to fix this error:

1. Restart your computer: Try restarting your computer and see if the error resolves itself. Sometimes, this error can be caused by a temporary glitch.

2. Check hardware connections: Ensure that all hardware components, such as hard drives and RAM, are properly connected and seated in their respective slots. If any hardware appears loose or disconnected, reseat it firmly.

3. Run Startup Repair: If restarting doesn't work, you can try running the Startup Repair tool. To access it, insert your Windows installation media (such as a bootable USB or DVD) and boot your computer from it. Select your language preferences and click "Next," then choose "Repair your computer" > "Troubleshoot" > "Advanced options" > "Startup Repair." This tool will scan your system for any issues and attempt to fix them automatically.

4. Check disk and file system errors: You can try running the chkdsk command to check for disk and file system errors. Boot your computer using the Windows installation media, go to "Repair your computer" > "Troubleshoot" > "Advanced options" > "Command Prompt." Once the Command Prompt opens, type "chkdsk C: /f /r" (assuming C: is your system drive) and press Enter. This command will check for errors and attempt to fix them.

5. Rebuild BCD (Boot Configuration Data): If the boot configuration data is corrupt or missing, you can rebuild it using the bootrec command. Open Command Prompt as described in the previous step and enter the following commands one by one, pressing Enter after each:

- bootrec /fixmbr

- bootrec /fixboot

- bootrec /rebuildbcd

These commands will repair the Master Boot Record (MBR), the boot sector, and rebuild the BCD.

6. Perform a system restore: If you have previously created a system restore point, you can try restoring your computer to a previous working state. Boot your computer using the Windows installation media, go to "Repair your computer" > "Troubleshoot" > "Advanced options" > "System Restore." Follow the on-screen instructions to select a restore point and initiate the restoration process.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may indicate a more serious problem with your hardware or operating system. In such cases, it is recommended to seek professional assistance from a computer technician or contact Microsoft support for further guidance.
