My Windows 10 said it needs to update, so I restarted it. Instead of restarting, I got the following sequence of screens:
- "Preparing automatic repair"
- "Enter the BitLocker recovery key: " [I entered it]
- "Diagnosing your PC"
- "Your PC did not start correctly. Restart or AdvancedOptions"
- When I click "Restart", the same sequence starts again. So I click "AdvancedOptions" and then "Troubleshoot".
In the troubleshoot screen, I tried the following:
- Remove latest quality update: it failed.
- Remove latest feature update: it failed.
- Run "Startup Repair": I got a message "Startup repair could not repair your PC". It also referred me to a log file called
SrtTrail.txt. - I opened the command line, opened the file
SrtTrail.txt(using notepad), and at the bottom line, I saw the message:A recently served boot binary is corrupt. - I tried
BootRec /FixMBR- I gotthe operation completed successfully. - I tried
BootRec /FixBoot- I gotaccess is denied. - I tried
BootRec /RebuildBCD- I gottotal identified windows installations: 0. - I tried
bcdedit /set {default} safeboot minimalto boot into safemode, but then rebooted and got to the start of the sequence. - I ran the Dell Preboot System Performance check, as instructed in Dell Website, and after several minutes I got "success: result code 2000-0000", which means that "Pre-boot diagnostics test passed. No issues were found".
- I ran
ChkDsk /r. It told me that there are no problems with my drive. But I still get the same sequence - I did
bcdboot c:\windows /s c:. I got a success message - "boot files created successfully" or something like that. But I still get the same sequence. - I tried
sfc /scannowbut got an error "windows resource protection could not perform the requested operation".
What more can I do to fix this error?
Technical details: I have Windows 10 on Dell XPS 9570, BIOS version 1.20.0. No other OS is installed.
