Great, thanks again for the tips.  I will take your advice to heart and implement more precautions in future.  All my files were still intact on the new install and it was our older second computer, so no real loss.  Just have to reinstall some programs.  I upgraded from win8, so it always had some issues anyways.  Hopefully now it will run better.

Cheers,
Gary

I am doing a reinstall now.  Pretty much exhausted other options, and it was having issues for a while where I had to repeatedly use a boot disk to repair anyways.

Thanks though for your help and efforts to come up with a repair.

Any suggestions on which of the programs you have that can  be used as good safe tools to tune up Windows in general?
There is so much crap out there, You guys at least seem honest and able to provide solutions that can be helpful if used properly that don't have malaware potential.

I will look at this as a learning process and go from there.

Thanks,
Gary

I am using Windows 10 Home version.  Yes I tried the Startup Repair tool a few times with no luck.  I was hoping maybe you would find something in the log file that would help.
I will try some of your other link suggestions, but it's not looking good and I'm not too sophisticated with computers unfortunately.

If only I could get "Windows" recognized as a choice in the boot menu, but it
does not show up.

Just ran the boot repair program as you suggested.  Above is the log.  Still won't recognize windows as a boot option.

As per your question, I didn't use the updated version of the windows repair program, but it seemed to work earlier so I thought it was fine.  I just ran it to help speed up my computer.

Tried everything suggested but no luck. Windows OS is listed, but when I say "yes" to add it to the boot list - it says can't be found.  Crap

So Windows is not showing as a boot option at all.

Couldn't find anything regarding "secure boot" in the bios.

Tried the cmd commands and got "Failure when attempting to copy boot files"


Below is the command I executed, then got above "Failure" message

X:=\windows\sytem32>bcdboot c:\windows

I just entered the cmd's and and found my OS in partition 2, letter C.  Was just about to enter the boot command you gave me when I saw your new post.  Should I try to check the Bios first regarding secure boot?

I am doing the chkdsk now. It has deleted a bunch of "corrupt attribute records" .   It says "windows has made corrections to the file system. No further action is required".  No bad sectors.

Btw, Your help and quick responses are much appreciated.

I did a boot repair and am able to access advanced boot options, but none of them worked.

I am posting with my other desktop computer, also running win10.

Already tried the repair options and the "reset and keep files options" none of which worked.  It started to reset up to 30% then proceeded to undo all changes and went back to square one.

Based on this, will steps with command prompt still help?

Microsoft tech support couldn't help, and tried to do a reset with keeeping my files but that didn't work.  Anything I can try to revert?  I have no restore points to use or image file etc.

I am now in Lazysoft recovery suite but doubt if anything there will help.

Thanks
