Windows 10: bootrec not recognized by command prompt

Guys please help when I go to windows automatic repair an error pops out saying "Windows automatic repair could not fix your pc" so I tried going to command prompt running with admin of course and using the code bootrec /RebuildBcd and bootrec /FixBoot to fix it but a message pops out saying bootrec is not recognized so I don't know what to do. I tried searching bootrec.exe in drive c, windows, system 32 folder but I couldn't find it. How do i fix this and do I need a windows installation cd to activate bootrec and automatic repair or something? Please don't suggest using system restore points and system reset because I will not try those solutions for I already tried system restore and automatic repair still did not work and system reset for me will remove all my programs so I will not do it. I'm using windows 10 and with latest updates also tried sfc scan now with no issues and tried dism restorepoint already which completed successfully.

:)

 

Command Prompt didn't recognize one of the commands


It does sound like you should do it in case it gets worse and you can't boot..

If you follow this tutorial to easily get to a command prompt at boot time Advanced Startup Options - Boot to in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums (option 1 looks the easiest).

You then click on the "Troubleshoot" then "Advanced Options" buttons to get to the "Command Prompt" button.

When you get the command prompt enter the following (may as well do them all):

• bootrec /FixMbr
  [*]bootrec /FixBoot
  [*]bootrec /RebuildBcd

Details of these commands are here - they are the same in Windows 10 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/927392

 

command prompt will not open in safe mode with command prompt

Would I just follow the same steps within safe mode after hooking up to the other system?

 

Access denied on bootrec /fixboot

These are the commands and how to run them. No reason you should get Access denied.
