Windows 10: (BSOD) i updated 20 drivers through IObit driver booster and now stuck on thr infinite...

ohk, yes now I'm aware that updating 20 drivers at once was wrong.(why do they give the option tho?) but now im stuck on the diagnosing, start up repair infinite loop( the e:....\srtTrials)

ive tried everything -uninstall recent feature in troubleshooting -restore previous versions (there were 2 options neither worked and now i dont have a version to restore to) -trying to boot into safe mode -the chkdsk method -the bootsec method -deleting IObit with wmic

basically none of the youtube tutorials are working.

what should be my course of action? i have a lot of unsaved work files which i cant afford to lose and unfortunately in this quarantine i do not have access to a usb or cd as well. shall i reset? which options shall i choose delete everything or keep my files(which files will be kept?) Also my hp laptop has recovery manager is that a better way to restore?does it need previous setting up? (believe it or not a lot of people have gotten this problem) idk why but my E drive is showing all my contents of C drive and my C drive is showing the data of D drive, on the IOshit forums someone told to go to windows/system32/config then rename SAM to SAM.old, system to system.old, security to security.old and a few other files. and some files called sam.IOBIT to sam, security.IOBIT to security and few others would this help or should i delete the ÌOBIT files itself(can j do that through the bsod terminal?) but I'm hesitant to do that cause my 5th CS teacher told not to go anywhere near the system32 folder

sorry for the long text, please help me out im having a panic attack!

iobit driver boster 6.4 free

is iobit driver booster safe?

First off, I suggest to do some reading:

• Driver Updaters: Digital Snake Oil, Part 2 - Malwarebytes Labs | Malwarebytes Labs
• Never Download a Driver-Updating Utility; They’re Worse Than Useless
• When Do You Need to Update Your Drivers?
  

Iobit's products are known to bundle other programs in their installers.

Generally speaking, Driver Booster can be classified as a PUP (potentially unwanted program).

For safety reasons it's always a good idea to analyze files before installing and see if any type of malware might be detected. You can upload the installer to
VirusTotal or any other site listed here:

Comprehensive List of Online File/URL analyzers & services.

In the end you yourself have to weigh the pro and cons.

Why Iobit Driver Booster, Etc. bad?

link the thread and the reason he/she said it was bad. Could be his personal oppinion too. I have used Iobit in the past with success. I have moved on to glary utilities and do driver updates manually thru manufacturer as needed.
