    Critical files missing


    After some mistakes involving flash mode and a lack of internet while upgrading my computer, my computer now refuses to start past one of 11 different blue screens. To name a few missing/ corrupted files, there's system32/ntoskrnl.exe, system32/winload.efi, system32/drivers/wdf01000.sys, and I believe I am still missing system32/drivers/tcpip.sys. Despite missing these files, I was able to normally use my computer until today, where I am stuck in a never ending loop of blue screens. Thankfully I still have access to command prompt through advanced repair options, and on occasion flash mode, wh

    Burning Files To cdr

    I tried to drag a .txt file to the burn list, as suggested above, but it will not drop in. I get a message "+add to burn list" but I cannot get it to drop into the burn list. Is there another step I am missing?

    Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    Critical Structure Corruption Windows 10

    I keep getting this error "Critical Structure Corruption" and can't seem to fix it.

    It happens while I am busy on my laptop. Here are some of the steps I have tried so far to resolve this with no success.

    1. Ran Windows Memory Diagnostic = no problems so RAM looks good.
    2. Check The CPU with Intel-Processor-Diagnostic-Tool = PASS all
    3. Drivers update, I used driver booster and did need to update 18 drivers but was able to update with no issues.
    4. Update software and drivers, well it was suggested that I update BlueStacks but the update failed, bluestacks mentioned that it might be an issue so as I do not use the tool I uninstalled the software altogether.
    5. Updated Windows, this I do regularly and automatically so no big updates were missed.
    6. Defragged the machine - system is optimized
    7. Ran anti-virus check and all's good
    8. Ran CCleaner

    Now I might mention I'm not a super user, but I'm able to follow suggestions quite well.

    Any help will be appreciated.
