Windows 10: After Updates, System can't boot. Repair is required. Is it possible?

Win 10 Home v.2004

On Saturday, some updates were downloaded and installed. Sunday morning all good. Sunday evening, out of the blue, during booting up, I see ''Preparing Automatic Repair etc'' and after a while ''Automatic Repair couldn't repair your PC''. After Advanced Options I tried to uninstall the latest updates but another failure. My next step was to use a bootable USB but ''Repair your computer'' failed too.
I don't know what else to try, if there is something besides format...

Fortunately, my system has two disks with OS (10 Home and 10 Pro) so I can use the second one.

Thanks in advance...

Windows 10 wont boot, repair, reset, or system restore

Hi,

The issue occurs due to an
unfinished update process which
corrupted the system files. We suggest that you try these troubleshooting
methods and run the update again:

Method 1:
Run SFC Scan.

To run an
SFC scan, follow these steps:

• 
  Run
  Command Prompt as Administrator.
  
• 
  Type
  sfc /scannow
  and hit
  Enter.
  

This will check and run an auto-repair on the issue.

Method 2:
Run DISM Tool.

After running the
SFC scan
and the issue still persist, run the
DISM
to check the system health and to try restoring the files. To run
DISM tool, follow these steps:

• 
  Run
  Command Prompt as Administrator.
  
• 
  Type the following command:
  
  • 
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /scanhealth
    
  • 
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
    

NOTE:
This might take a while
to finish scanning.
Do not cancel.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards.

 

laptop doesnt boot automatically

This is what happened.

1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.
