Windows 10: Why am I not able to go to advanced boot from settings?

I have few weeks old clean install. Today I tried to remove some unnecessary packages using PowerShell. Nothing extreme but it isn’t exactly easy to find much information about them. Packages like People, My Phone, Skype, some adware packages, etc. I am not sure if the problem might have been caused by that. F11 works. But I am not able to go to advanced boot from settings. I run “sfc /scannow” command and it said it found some corrupted files and fixed them. Everything else seems to work normally. I also have Linux boot option in my settings despite I have only ever used Linux on external dri

Advanced Troubleshooting not helping with booting up Windows 10.

Hi,

The issue that you're having usually happens when a specific process of the system got interrupted. This interruption can lead to system/hardware corruption. Since you were able to access that Advance troubleshooting (Window Recovery), we would like to know
if you have tried choosing the option Safe mode with Networking. If not, we suggest booting from it using the steps below:

• Go to Advance Troubleshooting.
• Under Advance options, choose Startup Settings.
• Choose Enable Safe mode with Networking or press F5.
  

After successfully booting the computer to it, we suggest running the System File Checker. Kindly follow the steps on this article to perform it:
Using System File Checker in Windows 10. Once done, type chkdsk c: /f
on the Command Prompt then click Enter. Wait for the process to finish, then
Restart your computer.

Update us with the outcome so we can provide further assistance.
