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*

    bcedit was not recognized as an internal or external command.

    I searched disabling the automatic repair via the command line and found: BCDedit /set recoveryenabled no. This operation was "completed successfully." However upon rebooting the computer the automatic repair was not disabled and I was not able to continue to windows in order to check the parameters you suggested and obtain the requested screen shot.

    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.

    Hi Steven,

    Go back to the Command Prompt and try scanning your hard disk for possible bad sectors and such. Enter the command and let it finish chkdsk /f /r C:

    We look forward to your response.

    All the best.
