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...

    (1) I don't think it's worth it, but you can copy the contents of EFI to the stick & copy it back if necessary.

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

    (3) Yes, the DVD is best if it equals or exceeds the version of the installed Windows. Yours is good.

    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...
