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*

    When you get to access denied is a dead end. Reformat the disc and start with a fresh Windows. It sucks, but there are no more solutions. Your disc my be the culprit too, if you can, change it for a SDD disc. It makes a huge difference.
