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:

  1. Restart your computer for 3 times to see Windows 10 Boot Options menu.
  2. Choose Troubleshoot.

    I have this issue on a work PC.

    The PC has veracrypt. This might not be on your computer per say but the issue is that there are 2 boot loaders and the BIOS keeps defaulting to the wrong boot loader.

    Check your bios settings to insure you are booting properly.

    Good Luck.

    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.?
