macbook bootcamp stuck on preparing automatic repair

My macbook 2017 is stuck in a loop preparing a automatic repair by Boot Camp.

I can't get back to Mac OS start up. Is there any way that I can breach this proces?

Boot camp stuck in windows Have been using boot camp on my iMac for long time. Yesterday my Mac screen froze. When I rebooted it booted on windows. Now not only will it not boot with macOS but it is not even seeing the Mac disk. Any suggestions to find the Mac disk etc.

Windows Boot Camp MacBook has only OS X stuck in boot loop Due to a Wi-Fi issue I attempted to restart my 2020 MacBook Pro that has Windows installed via Boot Camp, but upon holding Option and selecting my OS X drive, the laptop begins continually restarting and showing the white loading wheel. At any point during this loop I can press and hold Option and again select either the OS X drive or the Windows drive, but if I select either, it returns to this restarting / black screen / white loading wheel loop. At no point during this loop does holding Cmd-R for Recovery Mode or Shift for Safe Mode have any effect. If I restart using the power button without holding Option, I boot in Windows normally. (My MacBook boots in Windows by default, which I never changed because it wasn't ever a problem for me to just press Option.) Here's where it gets difficult. My Boot Camp installation was interrupted due to an error. This was a long time ago, I don't remember specifically what the problem was. Whatever the error was, after a restart it didn't stop me from being able to run and use Windows for the rare occasions I needed it. However, there is no Boot Camp Manager on the Windows side. It's not in the Taskbar nor does it have an entry in Control Panel. So I can't configure my MacBook to instead boot up in OS X by default, at least not from the Windows side. And because of the boot loop I can't return to OS X to properly install Windows Support Software to fix the missing Boot Camp on the Windows side. How do I either 1. Stop the boot loop and boot up OS X or 2. Get the missing Boot Camp software without returning to OS X Boot Camp Assistant to install it?

Unable to exit boot camp windows So recently I downloaded bootcamp windows and loaded it up, and when I wanted to exit I found the ^ and clicked it and there was no diamond bootcamp symbol thing. So I decided to try the other option which was to hold down the option key on start up, it worked and it presented the windows disc and the Macintosh one, and I clicked on it. It told me my 2011 or 12 IMac would restart because of a problem and I thought that meant it was going to go back but then it started a weird cycle or restarting over and over while trying to go back to Macintosh. It did that for 10 hours and I came back and it was STILL restarting over and over. I turned it off with the button and help the option key again on start off and it went back to the two discs and I attempted it again and it just went back to restarting. I’ve done this countless times and it keeps starting that cycle of restarting. PLEASE HELP I JUST WANT TO PLAY MINECRAFT :(
