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*

Hi Steven,

This error occurs due to a possible corrupted startup file. For us to troubleshoot this issue, we suggest that you follow these steps:

    I have the exact same issue. 

    E:\Recovery\WindowsRE\Winre.wim\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt

    Unable to perform startup repair. 

    Already tried bootrec /fixboot --- Access denied

    Tried updating BIOS

    Tried fixmbr

    Tried modifying the boot order in the BIOS

    Nothing is working!!!!!

    I work for creating windows images for a company. And now im running into this issue!!!

    Is it a WIn10 update with version 1803? Need a answer/resolution ASAP!

    I cant even start the computer in SAFEMODE!!! this is nonsense!!!!

    I got the same response to the auto repair except Log file:D. I downloaded the corrupted Windows 10 update last night. I have tried several commands but nothing has worked. The question is: What is microsoft/windows going to do to repair everyone’s PC, laptop, Ipad, etc.?

    I installed the update 2 days ago, and now I have the same error. No fixes are working, and from what I have read so far Windows and their update appear to be responsible. So I would like to very much add to the call for an explanation and an immediate solution from Microsoft.

    I am not using a desktop. It is a Lenovo Thinkpad L540. I have not tried other troubleshooting steps.
