Are your files backed up?
If you had to do a clean install would that work?
Some forum members use Macrium on a regular basis and can restore drives.
See Use Macrium Reflect Rescue Media to Fix Windows Boot Issues
If you want to attempt registry back up repair that can be done booting to the windows 10 iso. You would need to know the F key to boot to a device or change the boot order. The when you have booted to the iso you can attempt a registry repair.
i delete the windows bt folder contents now i have recovery screen can i use windowsold.wim in macrium to fix my window ? and i see on youtube people use regback backup and copy to fix,see this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABI3DAhqwfo
That is the registry backup that I had commented on in the earlier post. In you situation I would be surprised if it works but its worth a shot.
This is the registry backup method:
1) boot to the Windows 10 iso
2) it may take 5 minutes displaying the windows icon
3) Use the default settings for language, time, currency, and keyboard
4) click next
5) In the left lower corner click Repair your computer
6) click troubleshooting
7) click startup repair (it is expected to fail)
8) click system restore (it is expected to fail)
9) click command prompt
You should see a pop up with title bar: Administrator: X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe
This is the registry backup method:
For each step you must see sizeable file sizes for this to work.
If you see zeros the method will fail.
The command: dir
will be used each step to make sure you are in the proper location and check the size of the files
10) type: C:
11) dir
12) type: D:
13) dir
Choose the C: or the D: drive to proceed. It should be the windows drive and not the USB drive.
For this post I will use C: however you should pick the drive letter that you found that has the windows files on your computer.
The proper drive will display: perflogs, program files, program files (x86), users, windows, etc
14) type or copy and paste: cd \windows\system32\config
It should display: C:\windows\system32\config>
15) type: dir
It should display: bbi, bcd-template, components, default, drivers, elam, sam, security, software, system, vsmidk, journal, regback, systemprofile txr, etc.
All of the file sizes should be sizeable. If it displays zeros then abort.
Make a new directory and name it backup or something similar.
16) type: MD backup
Copy all of the files into this new directory.
17) type or copy and paste: copy *.* backup
It should now display: bbi, bcd-template, components, default, drivers, elam, sam, security, software, system, vsmidk indicating the files were copied.
Change the directory to regback
18) type: cd regback
It should now display: c:\windows\system32\config\regback>
19)type: dir
It should display: default, sam, security, software, system etc
All of these files must be sizeable. If it displays zeros then abort.
20) type or copy and paste: copy *.* ..
It should now display:
DEFAULT
Overwrite ..\default? (yes/no/all):
21) type: a
It should now display: sam, security, software, system and that the files were copied.
22) type: exit
23) click turn off your PC
Remove the USB flash drive if you had changed your boot order. Otherwise you can leave it and power on your computer.
For Macrium there is an expert in this forum: dalchina
If there is a way to do it he will know.
i see 0 kb in regback folder and can i do something with rollback folder in windows tmp ? i copied my windowsold.wim and there is a Professional_en-us.esd in that folder and don't tell me inplace upgrade because he shows on windows 10 and i can't enter to win10
the folder of boot in windows/system32 is empty the winload is missing and the macrium cant help me and I am fed up of this errors of windows 10 and I use dism /wimfile source command and cant extracted in my partition directly but I can in folder and I cant copy and paste my files because of permissions
can I install another copy on my copy to repair windows ? I mean windows 10 setup on partition with win10 installed
If you had factory installed windows or participated in the free upgrade you then should be able to perform a clean install. With a clean install you will delete the partitions, make the drive unallocated, and install windows 10 version 1703 from the iso. Then you will install new drivers, and applications.
These may be some other options:
