1. Leave PC Running Overnight

  2. Then, click “Repair your computer” > “Troubleshoot” > “Advanced options” > “Command Prompt”.
  3. Next, in the popup Command Prompt, run the following commands in turn – bootrec /fixmbr 
    bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /scanos
bootrec /rebuildbcd
  4. Eventually, after that, reboot PC in a normal status.

4. System Restore

This trouble may result from the system failures. Therefore, it is also a solution to revert the current system to a previous system point. Of course, it demands that you have enabled “System Restore” feature before.

5. Reinstall Windows

Furthermore, assuming that the solutions above don’t work, you have no choice but to reinstall the Windows system. If you do not know how to properly do that, you are better off contacting relevant professionals for help.
