Windows 10: Windows 10 Stuck in Automatic Repair Loop, Hard drive Completely Wipe Out

After a recent Windows 10 Update (I believe) I had some instability and my system crashed a few times and began doing a disk check each time, the last time, it went into Auto Repair Mode while I was in the Middle of Editing Photos and I've been in the Blue Screens of Death ever Since. I cannot boot and none of the options work for trying to get my computer back.


I cannot do a c: prompt backup of my files because it shows that my hard drive is empty. I'm not very tech savvy so I'm desperately clinging to hope that I am missing something as I had recently transferred several GBs worth of photos from a recent trip to Europe to my laptop before this happened and now they are gone. (yes, lesson has been learned that my work process should have been to transfer them to my external hard drive first before editing).


I'm hoping there is someone out there who has had the same experience and can tell me there is yet another option for getting back my work.
