Booting problem turned in to BSOD problem
Now I have a problem with Windows 10 booting that I believe that i made it only worse and seriously i need quick help as it turned in to a BSOD problem. I am sorry but it is a bit long
My laptop is dell xps 15 9530, originally with windows 8 , I upgraded to windows 10 64-bit
On Saturday I noticed I may have malware after seeing strange ads and sites appearing suddenly unexpectedly on my google chrome
I downloaded adwcleaner and I ran it. It showed that I got at least 7 or 8 malware files after the first scan.
I chose to terminate those files which I can not remember their names unfortunately. Then the application asked me to reboot to complete cleaning the laptop from those malware files.
I rebooted the laptop and since then I have not been able to log into my windows account.
At first, I got the dell screen while booting for a minute or two then I find a message that laptop is diagnosing the problem and attempting to solve it then after of couple minutes I am taken to the blue restart options page and asked if I want to reset my windows or try other advanced problems.
I did not have a windows 10 recovery USB then.
I could not restore my window to earlier time as it says that a restoration point did not exist which is untrue then I found out that I can not get into to safe mode.
I was able to find command prompt working though only to find that the c:\ became x:\windows/system32
Through registry I found out the the booting drive was now x.
Thankfully C drive is there and fine.
After spending two days reading different guides here and there on iPhone I managed to restore back c:/ using cmd commands and then I got the famous BSOD
The special reset and others options blue page disappeared. Only the F8 options were there.
I noticed that there was no response on the Dell boot page when I chose Safe Mode options "aka loading" but there was some loading reaction when I chose the "No drive signature" option but nevertheless it led to nothing.
I got a windows 10 USB on Tuesday and i attempted to fix the boot but it did not work.
I continued to attempt fixing the boot through cmd and its commands. I think I made it worse as now i have got two windows boot manager. Do not ask me how !!
I continued to read and mess around with CMD to find it is back to x: as x:\Sources.
What shall I do ? I do not want to have a clean installation for windows honestly .
