Windows 10: Booting problem turned in to BSOD problem

Sorry for not following up but once again I have this problem with my laptop. It does not boot anymore since Friday.
*cry It refuses to boot.
I used your method with registry which I learned by heart and it is not working anymore.
I checked the c:\Windows\system32\config\logfiles\srt\srttrail.txt twice after so many attempts to boot on Friday. I have "a recent driver installation or upgrade may be preventing the system from starting"
Repair action : System restore
result : cancelled
at least twice.
Repair action: System files integrity check and repair
result : failed . Error code : 0x490
I do not know what to do but I am thinking of trying Easy Recovery essentials Easy Recovery Essentials by NeoSmart Technologies
I am open to suggestions *Smile))

 

Were you able to backup your files with Macrium?
Did you create a bootable windows 10 iso?

Sorry for the extreme late reply. between sickness and broken laptop , it is one hell of a week.
Now , I downloaded Easy Re and used it earlier this week only to make things worse.
Suddenly C:/ seemed to be empty , no windows directory or anything.
In an attempt to fix things , I downloaded Lazesoft Recovery suite , the Reymond post you posted above recommended it. It did not fix anything either but through its file browser , I found out that my windows directory along my program files as well all that under the c:/ directory moved either to the E:/ or F:/ directory.
Anyhow I managed to restore the windows directory to its original place under the C :/
While the EFI directory is now under the E:/
The error message I got now without running the Windows 10 recovery boot is
The application or operating system could not be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors.
File :\Windows\System32\Winload.efi
Error code : 0x000000e
You need to use recovery tools ....etc.
The Winload.efi exists under the Windows\System32
The recovery tools on the laptop disappeared , I can not do a reset your pc or system restoration.
I can access the recovery tools on window10 recovery but again no reset option , system restoration is no use.
Currently working on cmd
using command prompt from Win 10 recovery usb and disk part I found that I can not find the System reserved volume as I tried to follow those steps here FIX: Steps to Fix Winload.EFI Error - Appuals.com
I only have found the Windows volume , the EFI volume and the Winretool volume besides the usb.

The wintretool directory is empty

The partitions are all primary when I checked them.

I do not know what do next !!

 

1) After the registry repair were you able to backup the files or make an image?
2) Were you able to check the drive with one of the SMART tests?
3) What happens now when you boot without anything connected via USB?
4) What happens when you boot to the USB with windows 10 iso?
5) Which bootable windows 10 iso advanced recovery options have you tried and what were the results for each?
6) Did you consider a second registry repair?

 

Sorry for the extreme late reply , between work and travel did not have chance to reply but I gave a try for a number of things.
I still got that BSOD screen with 0xc000000e error. The srttrail.txt still says that a new installation or upgrade is the reason.
-Yes , I was able to backup the files in to an external harddrive but did not get a chance to make an image *Sad
-I have not tried SMART, I will try it.
- Well the BSOD screen with 0xc000000e meets me , no more recovery or reset options, F8 options do not work.
- I got in to the usual Windows 10 USB dialogue then to the Windows recovery options.
- I tried the windows restore it did not work and now it says I got no restore points which untrue as after the first crash I made one.
The reset option has disappeared from the dialogue already. I do not see it it.
- I tried the second registry repair this week and it did not work *Sad
I tried also Macruim reflect media usb and its boot fix , it did not work. But I will give it another try today.
FYI , I searched more in the drive and drivers using cmd.
I tried to find the latest drivers installed using driverquery in cmd and amazingly I found strange dates including 2095 !!!
Also while checking the drives, I can't find the System Restore drive but I found the WINREtools and the EFI , they are both got letters.
Now I wish to have that reset option before a clean install.

 

How did you attempt the second registry repair?

 

Well I followed the method you told me about the first time that helped me to boot, "copy *.* ..

I tired also to repair the registry using Scanreg /fix but it did not and the cmd gave me an error msg that this command does not exit.

I had a s.m.a.r.t scan and the result that the c drive was okay.

I am thinking of trying the bootsect command with nt60 command , what do you think !?

 

When you did the second registry repair did you use backup or another name?

 

As I tried it twice, I once deleted it and made a new one. The second time I used another name " backup-1"

 

I noticed that I got two windows Boot managers in the bios booting manager dialogue in the beginning and each one got different error message
The first one gets error message code 0xc0000001
It has got F8 start up settings but with no use
While the second one gets file:\windows\system32\winload.efi
Error code :0xc000000e
There are two EFI folders in C:\ and E:\
In the E:\ there EFI and Temp folders. EFI got Microsoft and Boot. Inside Microsoft there are Boot and Recovery directories. Now I checked the contents of the directories. I noticed some files modification date is 18 March 2017 while the rest earlier July when I was trying to fix the booting problem.
Moving.
The second EFI folder in C: \ got also Boot and Microsoft
Boot folder in C is copycat like E with the same files and dates
Unlike the Microsoft directory which got also Booting and Recovery. The modification date of those two folders in C was 28 June and 1 July. The first date was when the system worked and I managed to boot while the second one was when I could not boot
The boot directory is another copycat of the E boot dir with the same modification date.
The recovery bcd file dates 1 July unlike in the E which dates 28 June.
Now when I checked the BCDedit
Both windows Boot manager and windows boot loader are directed to the C

I have not used bootsect command yet

 

I reinstalled windows 10 on my laptop. Surprisingly it did not erase or delete the old files as I thought. I thought I would have a clean install *Sad I need that space
The old windows is now windows.old the e, f, d drives are appearing they used to hidden in the past.
now I found out that I am stuck with the Legacy booting system as when I turned UEFA back on, I found the two ugly old windows Boot manager giving me the bsod.
I am tired for real
I do not have the sleep option
I do not know what to do : do I reinstall windows again

 

For clean install you will
1) delete partitions
2) format the drive
3) 1 and 2 make the drive an unallocated drive
4) install the windows version on the bootable windows iso

An alternative method is to use diskpart to clean the drive and make it an unallocated drive.

 

Okay I will use diskpart. That @zbook for your great help *Smile

 

Okay one more question and I will disappear , got a long night of drivers and apps download *Biggrin
I made a clean install , it worked as it should.
Now I tried to change the UEFI booting setting and one time I chose secure booting only to find a black error msg that it can't find bootable drive. I returned back to secure booting off and I logged in normally.
Also I still got no sleep option. I think this will be solved after dowloading dell's drivers

 

The zip file has not been updated.
See if you can post a new one.
If you are not in uefi bios you may prefer it over legacy.
It adds a layer of security and has a tiny improvement in boot time.
You would need to start at clean install and that is where you are now.
