    hello PCR, 

    i had problem running my windows "windows 10 pro" normally (every time i run i go to automatic repair)

    after many trials to fix it with my own i couldnt and i had to run the pc at that moment so i installed 2nd version of windows 10 on the 2nd partition and it installed successfully and i had some problem with my drivers so i decided to the give my old version another shot and started to fix it again while searching on the net for any way.

    and then i found your solution and decided to try it but unfortunately i formatted my system partition first and then do the rest of your solution but every time i start my pc i get blue screen like this

    and i have tried many ways to rebuild BCD using bcdedit 

    attrib -h -s C:\boot\BCD
    del C:\boot\BCD
    bcdedit /createstore c:\boot\bcd.temp
    bcdedit.exe /store c:\boot\bcd.temp /create {bootmgr} /d "Windows Boot Manager"
    bcdedit.exe /import c:\boot\bcd.temp
    bcdedit.exe /set {bootmgr} device partition=C:
    bcdedit.exe /timeout 10
    attrib -h -s C:\boot\bcd.temp
    del c:\boot\bcd.tempbcdedit.exe /create /d "Microsoft Windows" /application osloaderbcdedit.exe /set {c0dfc4fa-cb21-11dc-81bf-005056c00008} device partition=C:bcdedit.exe /set {c0dfc4fa-cb21-11dc-81bf-005056c00008} osdevice partition=C:bcdedit.exe /set {c0dfc4fa-cb21-11dc-81bf-005056c00008} path \Windows\system32\winload.exebcdedit.exe /set {c0dfc4fa-cb21-11dc-81bf-005056c00008} systemroot \Windowsbcdedit.exe /displayorder {c0dfc4fa-cb21-11dc-81bf-005056c00008}
    

    and after that the error i am getting have been changed to

    "The operating system couldn't be loaded because the system registry file is missing or contains errors.

    File:\windows\system32\config\system

    error code: 0xc0000185"

    please help me fix that windows btw the problem originally happened after the system got frozen and i had to restart my pc

    now even the new installed windows dont start.

    Max, thank you for the information!

    It is a very quick and elegant solution.

    Yet, I hit a roadblock.

    Specifically, I was able to backup the bootres.dll file as instructed (though the original file is not located in the specified folder tree - it is found in C:\Windows\boot\Resources\ (omit the custom folder)).

    I also used my OS Recovery USB drive containing Windows 10 Pro v1709 (don't have one for v1803) when the attempt was made.

    The roadblock?

    Initial attempt indicated I didn't not have access rights.

    Examination finds that the boot folder is restricted even for built in Administrator.

    The only group which has Full Control is the TrustedInsaller. This is also restricted and can't be added to the built in administrator account or any other account.

    The built in admin account only has read authority, along with the Administrator group authority.

    So, how can I replace the bootres.dll file from the required directory?

    Any ideas?

    Thank you again for your help!

    (I need to avoid a complete update of my OS, as my download for v1803 shall require at least 5hr to perform, plus all the other MS products now installed.)

    Any guidance is greatly appreciated!

    Jim

    Unfortunately on this website there is no way to include a link to another post, but at least you can check my answer on the October 29th. 

    Compare the situation with the one I have described and try to fix your PC following the steps in my post.

    Good luck.

    (1) I edited that post to say DiskPart, List Vol, is less informative when not booted to Windows.

    (2) I've run BCDBoot, myself, as a test with no ill effect, but had no problem to start with. Of course, you've got to get the partitions right.

    (3) Sadly - I've been in another thread where I came to believe BCDBoot is no cure for this. It may be only a clean install can cure it.

    I'm looking through these for it...
