Windows 10 unable to boot, failure to repair loop-refer to srttrail.txt inside

UDPATE2: This has been SOLVED by following this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2f-GorXWkoc

It shows how to copy the registry hives from the Regback folder to the config folder. The Regback folder contains backups of the Registry Hives in the config folder which may have been corrupted during the update.

UPDATE: I have an AMD processor. dism.txt output pasted here: https://pastebin.com/XLuLQpc0

ISSUE: We have a relatively new (couple months) Windows 10 HP Computer that was suddenly unable to boot into the OS. Unable to enter Safe Mode. Automatic Repair failed. System Restore failed.

After trying a bunch of solutions, Self-Repair system referred an srttrail.txt file to me, which I copied to a drive and have posted below. I'm not sure what to glean from it. Can anyone else:

So all tests passed except the test which tests if an update is pending. You can use dism.exe /image:C:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions to remove the pending updates. Source. Do you have an Intel or AMD processor, update your question, don't leave a comment.

Question updated. It's an AMD. I did the dism.exe command and received an Error code #2, Unable to Access Image. The dism.txt output is pasted in the original post. – SuicuneSol San – 2018-01-17T01:40:24.937

Did you by chance install the January update? – Ramhound – 2018-01-17T01:50:18.553

Probably? The updates were automatic. It's not my machine, but my sister's. I attempted a System Restore to January 3rd, but the restore apparently didn't work. – SuicuneSol San – 2018-01-17T01:58:24.650

You need to use the correct drive letter. It might or might not be C. Depends on what other drives you have connected. DISM /image:C:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions should revert the pending update, but it would really be helpful, if you could determine if the incompatible patch was being installed or not. – Ramhound – 2018-01-17T02:25:52.520

C is definitely the correct drive where Windows was installed. Also, according to the System Restore logs, January 9th two critical Windows updates were installed. I'm assuming Restore points would not have been created if they weren't. Also, I ran the DISM command again and received an error of #3. Unable to Access Image.

Interesting, same here from a client's workstation. – ylluminate – 2018-03-14T02:17:26.600

Thank you so much for posting the update. Got here from searching for the same error message in SrtTrail.txt after my registry was corrupted by Windows Update. The video solved my problem as well. I had no idea that Windows Update saves a registry backup. – lehiester – 2018-04-02T02:08:16.823

I'm so glad this topic helped you Lehiester! – SuicuneSol San – 2018-04-03T03:54:54.893
