Windows 10: URGENT: 0xc0000001 - "...the operating system on your PC has failed to start...."

Hello everyone.

I need of some urgent support. Will try to summarize the following to quickly get you up to speed on my current situation.

• Downloaded Outbyte driver update program to update drivers "en bulk" on my PC
• Updating drivers, coupled with Windows Update, forced my primary version of windows 10 to error upon re-boot.

First error was the following:

• D:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\LOGFILES\SRT\SRTTRAIL.TXT error message

I "remedied" this by meddling around and performing the following:

• CHKDSK commands every drive
  
• sfc /scannow
• DISM/online/cleanup-image/restorehealth

diskpart - Updated all of my volumes to the correct settings least I think I did


Now I'm receiving the following error message upon reboot:
Error Code 0xc0000001 - "...the operating system on your PC has failed to start...."

Steps I've already taken:

• As mentioned aboved, I've tried all the system file checks you can possibly execute
• I've attempted to update my bios boot settings to/from legacy-uefi- etc
• already tried to reset my PC to factory settings and perform a full wipe - to which I get an error message "cannot perform....etc"
• I've tried to restore my PC via system restore from a prior date, but receive error saying the function cannot be performed?

Facts about my PC

• This is a gaming PC I built a few years back. It has two main storage drives
  • C drive - All my current games/files/pics etc
  • E drive - All my old files/pics from my old computer
• I can actually run windows 10 on my 4th volume which contains an older version of windows 10 + all my old files/pics - E-drive?
• Getting this error message when I attempt to start my PC on my primary volume which I use.
