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

    boot the  computer with windows 10 dvd

    go to command prompt

    type  diskaprt

    list vol

    find  EFI partition no, Windows 10 parttion

    i assume  efi is 2

    i assume os is  C

    diskpart select vol 2

    assign letter=V

    exit

    X:\windows\system32\

    type  below  commands

    bootrec /fixmbr

    bootrec /fixboot

    bootrec /scanos

    bootrec /rebuildbcd  ,     if it  found windows location type  Y

    bootsect /nt60 sys /force

    or

    bootsect /nt60 C: /force

    or

    bootsect /nt60 all /force

    bcdboot C:\windows /l en-us

    bcdboot c:\windows /s V:

    bcdboot c:\windows /s V: /f UEFI

    I don't have the EFI. I checked youtube a gentleman posted a video about renaming the system reserve file. I don't have that either!

    and I'm not sure if I change the windows directory diskpart what happens :?

    Hi

    i gave my laptop to a family member who knows a lot about computers and spoken to many people and the consensus is they all hate windows 10 and the many issues assiciated. The help offered os beyond pointless and no matter how often you say that uou dont have a disk and cannot reboot or send back to factory settings this seems to be the only reply they can give along with command prompts that don’t work. I too am working on my masters and my only saving grace was that i saved work onto my onedrive account but lost all my research. 

    I don’t know how but my brother manager to download a copy of windows 10 to usb drive (must be at least 16gb) and installed it onto my laptop. Who think was reset but did fix laptop.

    Hello! Thank you for the help but I’ve come to another issue. When inputting the command ‘bootrec.exe /fixboot’ I simply get a message that reads ‘Access is denied.’ My guess is that it is due to security i have installed. I use Norton Antivirus if it helps.

    I knew that solution without reset or refresh or factory reset or reinstall OS. I made computer booted successfully via last known good configuration.

    I solved same method three computers.

    whoever call me to install the windows 10 OS initially, I enable last known good configuration without their knowledge.

    If something happened or it cannot be boot.in This case   I made theirs computers boot via that method.

    I have already this method on my previous threads, but no one cared
