    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    Sorry to know that you are facing this issue.

    I suggest you to perform start up repair from Windows Recovery Environment. Follow the below procedure and check if it resolves the issue.

    To get to Windows Startup Settings in the Windows Recovery Environment. You may follow the steps provided below and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

    If you don't have a disk or USB, download the ISO from a working computer and try creating a bootable disk or USB.

    • If you can't start your PC, follow these instructions to get to the Windows Recovery Environment.

    • Start your computer from the installation media, Insert the DVD or USB flash drive and restart your computer.

    • If you see a message asking you to “Press any key to boot from DVD,” do so. If you don’t see the message, you might need to change the boot order in your computer's BIOS settings so that it first starts from the DVD or USB.

    • When you see the Install Windows page, tap or click Repair your computer to start the Windows Recovery Environment.

    • In the Windows Recovery Environment, on the Choose an option screen, tap or click Troubleshoot.

    • Tap or click, advanced options and then click on Startup repair.

    After this complete the repair and see if you are able to boot in to your computer.
