Windows 8 is stuck in an automatic repair loop

Almost all of what I read here says that when they upgraded from windows 7 or vista they get this loop. I got mine from upgrading from 8 to 8.1! My Windows 8 was working fine but then microsoft suggested that I upgrade to 8.1 and stupid me, I did! and now I get this annoying loop. 

The only thing that makes me able to use my PC again was by system restore. But if I leave my PC for awhile or if I restart my PC it goes back to the loop and I have to system restore all over again which is annoying since it takes a long time to do and I can't do that every time I want to use my PC!

About 8.1 not being compatible to computers designed for older versions of windows. My TOSHIBA was designed for windows 8! Is 8.1 that different from 8?

My windows 8 get in a automatic repair loop and it couldn't repair it. And than it says log file d:\windows\system32\logfiles\srt\srttrail.txt

What to do?

ok I have also been annoyed with this problem and tried the bcdedit commands, which failed at first saying that it could not load the bcdedit file.  I read somewhere that was because of USB and I was booting win 8 from USB.  I then used command prompt in the repair options built into win 8.1.  Completed the bcdedit commands sucessfully.   But for me and many others it did not remove my repair loop and I could not still get into safe mode.  Until I noticed in the advanced options that there is early mal-ware protection.  So I disabled that assuming this could cause boot issues (my desperate attempt).  On the next boot and to my surprise it booted.  I then shut down the machine and started it up again and it booted normally again without doing anything else. I hope this will help the others that are having issues still, after the bcdedit commands.  I also then re-enabled the recovery with 'bcdedit /set recoveryenabled YES'.  This was successfull and there is still no recovery loop.

To breakdown what I did:

1.  'bcdedit /set recoveryenabled NO' in the command prompt.  (This didnt work and may not be needed).

2.  Wait for the machine to boot into the 'Automatic repair couldn't repair your PC' error message.

3.  Click the 'Advanced Options' button

4.  Click the 'Troubleshoot' button

5.  Click the 'Advanced options' button

6.  Click the 'Startup Settings' button

7.  Wait for the system to reboot into the 'Startup Settings' menu (is the same menu for safe mode)

8.  Select the 'Disable early launch anti-malware protection' option. (Press '8')

9.  If this worked for you, you should now boot into windows.

10. Now you can shutdown your system and it should hopefully work first time the next time you start the system.

Recently after getting the system to work again and completed an update that required a restart, it happened again.  The same procedure fixed it a second time.

Please leave comments to state whether this worked or didnt please.

Thank-You.

Your help is much appreciated.
