Windows 10: Windows 10 not loading

My Lenovo Ideapad 310 won't load windows. Over the last 2 or 3 days I did the following actions in bite size chunks , I transferred family photos etc I wanted to keep onto a spare drive. I then went through a total restore deleting everything to get a fresh start. I installed Brave Browser and Presearch search engine. I ran windows update and updated the default McAfee antivirus which came with it. I went into add/remove programs and removed a lot of stuff and turned off stuff from startup. I can't remember what I did in there. I remember looking for stuff that really annoyed me such as Lenovo photo manager etc which were always popping up. I assumed they wouldn't let me remove anything essential without some sort of caution or that essential stiff would start if needed and called by something else ? The last thing I did before I rebooted was install OpenOffice after uninstalling the free trial of Windows Office. I rebooted and get to a screen asking "Choose your keyboard layout" I made a choice and then I got 2 options: A) Troubleshoot or B) Turn off your PC Choosing A) troubleshoot led me to a screen with six options. Those 6 options are 1)Startup Repair "Start-up Repair couldn't repair your PC" 2)Command Prompt Msconfig isnt recognised as a command . I can't seem to get anywhere from Googling potentially useful commands. 3) Uninstall Updates "We ran into a problem and won't be able to uninstall..." 4) UEFI Firmware settings 5) System Restore "To use system restore, you must specify which Windows installation to restore. Restart this computer, select an operating system, and then select System Restore" There's no option to select the operating system that I can see ? 6) System Image Recovery Unfortunately the reinstall was too fresh for me to even get around to saving a backup point or system image. I had lent my laptop to my partner for a few months when she needed it for college and basically I had intended to simply clear it out to make it serve only my purposes again after I obtained enough external storage to transfer anything important. It was working fine before I finally got around to this. What can I do ?

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files.

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
