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*

    Okay, since the automatic repair didn't help you resolve the issue, we suggest that you perform a reset to your computer. Kindly visit the link provided here and follow the steps in resetting your PC. This link contains all the recovery options to help your computer get back in a working condition. The link is found here: Recovery options in Windows 10.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    I have tried all of the solution options above and none of them worked. I installed a fresh version of Windows twice and it worked for a couple days after that I got the same error. I always got the error after encountering a blue screen which had different codes almost every time. I am using an Acer Aspire 5 and before everything considering this error happened I was prompted to install an update which I did.

    Thanks for reading and have a nice day.

    Edit: I also created multiple restore points after the first encounter and until now I've always gotten a message saying there are no restore points.
