System Boots into unusable state

I have the ISO’ for 5 or 6 different system repair disks but can’t seem to figure out how to create bootable recovery media via USB attached to my router

I wonder if replacing your EFI partition with a simple rebuild might not work.
@Bree what do you think of replacing his EFI partition?

It is not something I have ever had to do, but the Catch 22 for the OP is that you may need the bootable USB install media to do it. It may be possible with a recovery drive USB, but as I said - it's not something I have ever tried. See post #2 here for instructions:

The referenced thread is technically way over my head

Then the best option is to get make a Windows 10 Install USB and do a clean install. Can you ask a friend to help, or use a PC in a library?

In the opening post safe mode was opened.
See if you can open safe mode with command prompt.
If you can then some troubleshooting commands can be run.

The images had displayed a report with error code for disk metadata: The requested system device could not be found

The priority is to backup any important files.
This can be accomplished by using a bootable Ubuntu/Linux flash drive, Kyhi boot rescue flash drive, etc.

See if you can find a friend, neighbor, relative, or local computer store to create the flash drive(s).

I am working through each one of the following:
Hirens Boot Cd
Puppy Linux
System rescue Cd
Tahr
Trinity Rescue Build
Ultimate Boot Cd

I’m struggling with getting the files at the root of the drive since I am using my router/usb as a mas

In Ten Forums we frequently use Kyhi boot rescue. See post #19.

Were you able to open safe mode command prompt? Title bar: Administrator:X:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe and prompt: X:\Sources :>

See if you can run:

dir
c:
dir
d:
dir
and identify the drive letter in Windows RE

chkdsk W: /r /v

(change the drive letter W: to the applicable drive)

This may take several hours to run and may display ETA.
