After a recent Windows update a few days ago my laptop stopped functioning. It's stuck in Windows 11 Automatic Repair mode doom loop (black screen). I can't boot it into safe Mode.. I can't access any settings. No matter what key combination I try pressing - nothing is working.. I don't have any bootable CDs. I'm super frustrated and need help!! Please provide easy steps to get out of this situation. Thanks.

I'm trying to create a bootable USB or DVD to reinstall Windows 11 on my broken laptop. I'm doing it on my other PC. Am I having trouble downloading because I'm not signed in as Administrator?? That's what the tutorial you sent me previously says: "You must be signed in as Administrator". It's just weird that none of the options worked for me.
Can you take a screenshot of the window where it doesn't give you the option to choose the location of your Flash drive? I suggest you download the Windows 11 ISO first and save it to your computer.
After that, please try Option - Two on How to Create Windows 11 Bootable USB Installation Media with Rufus.

It would be great to just download the Windows ISO to my computer and then burn it on a DVD or Flash drive... but it didn't let me do that.. I will send screen shots tomorrow. Could it be that the Anti virus software is interfering with the download? Blocking downloads?
Yes, the antivirus can interfere with the download, so I recommend temporarily disable or installed it.
Could you pls tell me how to temporarily disable Firewall and Antivirus in Windows 11? Need a few quick, easy steps. I couldn't do it thru Settings.. Thank you!! I really appreciate it.
