I found out the issue, it was intel graphics drivers. I went into safe mode, device manager -> display adapters, right clicked my intel gpu and uninstalled device, restarted my pc and installed the latest intel drivers. So far so good 👍

My windows 11 PC freezes after a couple seconds at the login screen every single time, it makes no difference I if try actually login or not, it freezes either way. I've had this exact problem happen before, so I factory reset my pc and everything was fine until now. It has happened again and I don't wanna go through the process of factory resetting again, I want to find the issue. My pc tried to run an auto repair but ran into a problem just displaying “Log file: D:\WINDOWS\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt”. Please help this is very annoying.

Since the system is now working normally, I'll consider this issue resolved. If the problem returns, it may be helpful to note the driver version involved and check for any recent Windows or driver updates that coincide with the recurrence. Regardless, I'll go ahead and recommend your answer for better visibility. It may help others experiencing similar login-screen freezes or repair errors.
Have a great day!
