Yeeeaaahhhhhh !!!

After many hours trying to solve it, I was able to solve it like this:

(My problem was with the WdBoot.sys and WdFilter.sys files, but maybe it works with any other file. The bootres.dll file problem also appeared to me)

1 - After trying to correct the reboot problem, the blue screen that appeared said where the log file was to verify where the error was. In my case the file was: C: \ Windows \ System32 \ Logfiles \ Srt \ SrtTrai.txt

2 - Knowing this, click on "Advanced Options".

3 - I searched for the "Command Prompt" option.

4 - At the "Command Prompt", I typed C: and pressed "enter" to access this drive.

5 - Then, I typed the location where the log file was: C: \ Windows \ System32 \ Logfiles \ Srt \ SrtTrai.txt

6 - Notepad opened with the log file. I clicked "File" and then "Open" only to easily find out where those WdBoot.sys and WdFilter.sys files were and check dates and any other information that I could get just out of curiosity.

7 - Accessing the files folder, I made a test by changing the name of the two files. I put a letter "a" in front "aWdBoot.sys" and "aWdFilter.sys". I right-clicked a white space in the window and went to "Refresh". The files have changed my name as I put it.

8 - After, I closed the notebook and typed "exit" at the command prompt and clicked "Turn Off Computer".

9 - I turned on my computer again and the problem was solved.

It seems silly, but after many hours, it was the only thing that solved it. I hope it solves your problem too.

Hi guys ! Issue fixed !

For those who face the same issue (unable to boot windows 10 with C:\windows\System32\LogFiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt showing C:\efi\microsoft\boot\resources\custom\bootres.dll is corrupted), here's what I did

First you need to create a bootable USB flash drive to install Windows 10

Insert the flash drive in your PC and reboot from it

Select Repair your computer

Select Troubleshoot

Choose Command Prompt

Type in the command:

Diskpart

Type in the command:

List disk (you have to note which disk is your boot drive number)

Type in the command:

Sel disk 0 (0 is my boot drive number)

Type in the command:

List vol (you have to note which volume is the EFI partition)

Type in the command:

Sel vol 4 (volume 4 is my EFI partition)

Type in the command:

assign letter=V:

Type in the command:

Exit

Now you can format the EFI partition:

format V: /FS:FAT32

After the format you need to recreate the EFI directory structure

Type in the command:

bcdboot C:\windows /s V: /f UEFI (C is your system partition)

Exit the command prompt and reboot the PC

Please let me know if it worked for you

Thanks

Jeff

Hi Sam,

Click your Start button, type cmd, then right click Command Prompt and choose 'Run as Administrator'

Run this command and hit Enter:

sfc / scannow

When that command completes, run this command and hit Enter

chkdsk c: /f /r

That command will fail, as Windows cannot check your disc while Windows is running, you will be asked if you want to run check disc at startup, choose yes

Then shut your system down and restart it to run disc check . . .

None of the above works, you seem like you don't know what the issue is!

The "solutions" you provide such as system restore, troubleshoot etc, are not valid in safe mode.

If you don't know what the issue is, its side effects, further complicarions and so on, please, stop posting irrelevant things and act as a time waster, thank you!
