Windows won't boot, no "reset" option available

Hi all, really need some help here. My laptop turns on but Windows won't boot. The sequence is:

  • Dell logo, with "please wait" sign
  • Choose your keyboard layout
  • Choose an option > Troubleshoot OR Turn off your PC

There is no "RESET MY PC" option at any point.

I have tried all of the Troubleshoot options, including:

  • System restore (no restore points available)
  • Startup repair
  • Uninstall updates ("We ran into a problem and won't be able to uninstall....")

I created a bootable USB / installation media, clicked F12, selected boot from USB....
This leads me to the same menu above (only Troubleshoot OR Turn off your PC --- no option to Reset my PC).

Any suggestions??? Diagnostics show terrible battery quality so I ordered a new one, but is the battery likely to be the full problem...?

Thank you!

    The output. Tysm.

    This is the link. Also the reason why my laptop is having infinite boot loop. I was really frustrated that time so I didn't read the comments (｡•́︿•̀｡)

    Everything looks ok except for the repeat of Windows Resume Application.

    Let's try deleting the hibersys.fil

    del /a C:\hibersys.fil

    reboot.

    Can you send a link to that youtube video if you can find it again?
