0xc0000017 BSOD Boot error

Hello members,

Some background:
I upgraded my window 8 system to win 10 a few years ago. I only have the win 8 DVD installation disk since the win 10 upgrade was done through Windows update.

For the most part things have been okay until today. On boot up I got a 0xc0000017 error message. It provides me two options:

1. to hit enter and boot again (doing so brings me back to the bsod 0xc0000017 screen)
2. To press F8 which provides me a series of 8 or 9 boot options via the number or function keys. (Pressing F8 and any of the 8 or 9 options brings me back to the 0xc0000017 bsod)

In short I'm in a bsod loop.

I did try booting from the win 8 installation disk, but same result. Brings me back to the bsod error.

It seems I may need to run the bcdedit from the command line to fix the original error. Booting to the command prompt is one of the F8 options, but as I mentioned above, any of the f8 options just brings me back to the bsod.

It seems the only option left is to borrow my sister's laptop and try downloading a win 10 recovery file on to a thumb drive and try booting from the thumb drive to a command prompt to run bcdedit.

Seeking any other suggestions from the forum members. Thank you for you time and thoughts.
