My Macbook Pro is stuck in a boot loop Hello, this morning my MacBook suddenly turned itself off and on twice in a row and then displayed the kernel panic screen. Since then it refuses to boot in to macOS Catalina, getting stuck in a loop every time. I was lucky enough to be able to get my work done through Windows 10 installed on my Bootcamp partition, but I really want this problem fixed. Disk Utility didn’t find anything wrong with the hard drive and resetting the RAM didn’t help either. I’m about to reinstall the version of macOS that shipped with my MacBook Pro, but I want to know, weather it will affect my bootcamp partition in any way, if I did that. I have all my work related files stored on it, so I removing it or letting it removed is out of the question. Thank you in advance for your helpful responses. Kind regards

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020) bootcamp windows 10 loops windows automatic repair Hi I have installed windows to through bootcamp on iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020). I had an issue with onedrive and was asked to run chkdsk /f /r and since then it is just looping and restarting. After plugging in a wired windows keyboard. I tried powering off three times while windows loads hoping that it will go into safemode, but not luck. It still boot directly to windows and loops. I even tried to hold the power button for 10 seconds and to restart holding the option(alt) key to boot into the MacOS partition, but windows keeps loading and the looping continues. Turned it on and immediately pressed and held these four keys together: Option(alt), Command (ctrl), P, and R. It still boot directly to windows and loops. I also tried holding the the cmd(ctrl) R key while powering up and had no luck. It still boot directly to windows and loops. Appreciate if I can get some guidance. Thanks in advance
