I’ve tried all the options; when I select F1, the laptop restarts and returns to that same menu. When I select F8, this menu appears—which one should I choose? Selecting Esc just returns the laptop to its previous state. Thanks in advance for the information and help. 🙏

Please try each option one at a time, then see if Windows will boot to a stable system.
