I rebooted the computer and got the auto repair attempt then went into advanced and tried the start up repair. no success.

put in the clone that I had made and just for a little insurance, cloned the clone onto a brand new ssd. used the clone fine all day. booting up the computer gave me the same issue on the 2nd hard drive. put the 3rd clone in and within 24 hours I have 3 separate hard drives that will not boot, all with the same error.

    Okay, please do try that to rename that file back to its original name, but renaming that file should not stop Windows booting up, it is not a system file, your Windows system may be very corrupt.

    Oddly this hard drive will not show when I connect with external ssd tray. I can see it in disk management but thats it.

    I was able to get the system restore to work using Lazesoft boot cd. Then it came up to that screen where i can hit F8 then option 7 to disable the signature check. The machine booted into windows. Yay.

    But..., what do I do now to find and fix the reboot issue?

    I'm afraid to reboot or let windows update do its thing.
