My computer wouldn't start and entered into an Automatic Repair. The automatic repair "couldnt repair [my]PC". 

It specifies the following Log file: E:\Recovery\WindowsRE\Winre.wim\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt

*Modified title for accuracy*

*Original title: Automatic Repair Error SrtTrail.txt*

    Over the past 3 months, I have been forced to re-install Windows 2X due Windows 10 updates crashing my PC and am now spending numerous hours with another update failure.  Microsoft, please prevent these failures from happening!!!!!  I have tried every option available for this most recent system crashing update and am going to need to resort to reinstalling Windows once again.  If this happens again, I am getting and Apple as I have had it with these unbelievable poor customer experiences and spending more time fixing my computer than using it.

    Apologies for the typo. Are you using a desktop? We're planning to do a more in-depth troubleshooting however, we want to know other troubleshooting steps you've done aside from the above mentioned for us to avoid redundancy.

    Thank you for the screenshots. That made sure that this is not a bad sector related concern. This might have something to do with the recent Windows update.

    Disable the Automatic repair by typing bcedit /set recoverenabled no in the Command Prompt, reboot your PC and check the Windows Update history (Start > Settings > Update & security > Update history)  if there was an update prior to the concern. Provide us a screenshot of the update (If there is any)

    If there's no update, check your drivers if there was a recent update.

    We look forward to your response.

    All the best.
