Can NOT start up my PC: HP Z440: Prepare Automatic Repair - Diagnosing your PC

Thank you for your reply

BTW

In bios/uefi

I can navigate with mouse... that's mean is UEFI...?

I think this you say is complicated

I think i should try:

Easier way

IF D: Is my C:/ disk

I already ran:

chkdsk d: /f /r

// if yes for c: put c: or d: below?

bootrec /fixmbr

bootrec /fixboot

bcdedit /export c:\bcdbackup

attrib c:\boot\bcd -h -r -s

ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old

bootrec /rebuildbcd

One thing: Have you switched in BIOS from UEFI to Legacy or vice versa? Then, that could be the whole problem -- just switch it back & try to boot. Otherwise...

It does look like D: is your Windows drive in the recovery environment going by those SrtTrail.txt reports. But you can doublecheck with DiskPart as in the following. Then, the main thing will be to determine whether you've got a UEFI or a Legacy boot. And let's do a BCDBoot (instead of BootRec) because BCDBoot also repairs other boot files, not just the BCD.

(1) Have you backed up your user files? If not, here is a way at a Command Prompt...

(a) Plug in a USB drive on which to copy your files.

(b) Get to the Recovery Environment from that error message (Advanced Options button).

(c) At the "Choose an Option" screen,

     click "Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Command Prompt".

(c) Enter Notepadat the Command Prompt. It opens in GUI mode.

(d) In its File menu, select Open.

(e) Set Notepad to display all file types with its requestor at bottom.

The files you want are likely in the folders at "C:\Users<your user name>". Remember to Refresh the screen after a paste. Additional notes...

o  Notepad's left pane has only "Quick Access", "Libraries", & "This PC".

o  Click This PC to switch from C: to the USB drive & vice versa.

o  Double-click a drive or folder in the right pane to open it. Or just select it, then click the Open button at bottom. But ensure nothing is in the filename box, or you get an error message (if it isn't a text file).

o  Right-click a file or folder, & select Copy. That seemed instantaneous.

o  Go to the USB drive, right-click in Notepad's right pane, & select Paste.

     I had an hourglass for just about a minute - or was it two - for 1.3 GB.

o  When the normal pointer reappears, right-click in the right pane, & select Refresh - or I think you never will see it.

(2) Regenerate the BCD (Boot Configuration Data) & other boot files at the Command Prompt...

(a) Enter these commands...

DiskPart          <<<Enter DiskPart

List  Vol           <<<Show the drive letters

Exit                  <<<Leave DiskPart

Here's what mine looks like in the recovery environment...

DISKPART> List Vol

  Volume ### Ltr    Label            Fs              Type            Size     Status        Info

  -------------  --- -----------    ---------   ----------    --------- -----------   --------

  Volume 0      D                                        DVD-ROM        0 B  No Media

  Volume 1      C  PCR Hard     NTFS         Partition      930 GB  Healthy                <<<My Windows partition

  Volume 2          ESP               FAT32        Partition        99 MB Healthy      Hidden     <<<EFI System partition

  Volume 3          WinRE NTFS         Partition      847 MB Healthy

DISKPART> Exit

Leaving DiskPart...

(b) Identify your Windows partition by its Label & Size, then enter...

BCDBoot  D:\Windows            <<<Presuming your Windows partition is D: in that environment

That's the simplest form of that command. It uses default values for everything else. (If your language is not En-US, then see below to add a proper /L locale parameter). If it fails, we can try giving it more parameters. In that case, can you tell which is your system partition? In my UEFI install, it is Volume 2 with the label ESP (EFI System Partition). It is FAT32 & about 100 MB. I would put a letter on it...

DiskPart

Select  Vol  2<<<But select your own volume number, not mine

Assign  Letter=S<<<Give it letter S:

Exit

Then...

BCDBoot  C:\Windows  /s  S:  /f  UEFI  /L  en-US

Notes:

(a) If yours is a Legacyinstall, it will be different. Put the letter on the System Reserved partition which likely is NTFS & also about 100 MB, if there is one. And use "/f  BIOS" instead of UEFI. Also, we'd want to ensure the System Reserved partition is the Active one. For that, add the command "Active" between Assign & Exit above. So, it would be...

DiskPart

Select  Vol  2<<<But select your own volume number, not mine

Assign  Letter=S<<<Give it letter S: (unless it already has one)

Active<<<Make it the Active partition

Exit

BCDBoot  D:\Windows  /s  S:  /f  BIOS  /L  en-US<<<Use your letters, not mine

If there is no System Reserved partition, forget the letter S: & just use...

BCDBoot  D:\Windows  /L  en-US<<<Use your letter for the Windows partition

(b) Get the Locale value from BCDEdit...

C:\WINDOWS\system32>BCDEdit

I think that should do it. Post back any further question. Good luck.

=========================================

IF BOOT IN CMD PROMPT --- FROM ADVANCED OPTIONS

IF D: Is my C:/ disk

I already ran:

chkdsk d: /f /r

it failure again loop continues... then is OK run: // if yes for c: put c: or d:

bootrec /fixmbr

bootrec /fixboot

bcdedit /export c:\bcdbackup

attrib c:\boot\bcd -h -r -s

ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old

bootrec /rebuildbcd

How can i reset windows updates in Windows 10, if cannot boot the PC...?

I got the Log file
