When booting up:

Prepare Automatic Repair - Diagnosing your PC

I see always

I have tried

1

Safe Mode, Uninstall the latest quality update, Restore back to point 18-10-2021 :

same symptom

2

Troubleshoot> Advanced options > Startup Repair:

same symptom

Status

Today in the morning I turn ON PC, I was offline[no cable ethernet], and while working prompt for an update[while was dis-connected], after this connected - checked some Gmail, etc. and after 30-min press UPDATE & RESTART,

And got this problem on startup...

I have a backup of C:/ with Acronis... I think of October 2021

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Windows update

    You say

    (2) It looked to me you ran SFC correctly on the Windows partition

    I thought C: was the Windows drive, but as had the data hdd connected, and C: was this hdd 4TB, not the Windows drive,...

    After understanding it, I have interrupted the process.

    I will do the

    bcdboot C:\Windows /s S: /f UEFI

    In about 1-hour or 2...
