It seems this approach isn't ideal. If a virus altered your MBR, it might be advanced enough to prevent BCDEdit from resolving the issue.

It's not a virus; it's likely due to a faulty hard drive. A virus wouldn't cause this.

You can verify issues in your MBR by using built-in system tools or diagnostic utilities. If you're unsure about the commands, try running standard checks like `chkdsk` or `sfc /scannow` to see if errors are detected. If you need help interpreting results, let me know!

You can verify your MBR by checking the boot order and using tools like `mbrsc` or `chkdsk`. Ensure the correct partition is selected during boot.

Share the log file shown in the attached JPEG. It should help determine what actions might need reversal. - Pete

bcdedit is mainly for adjusting boot settings on your computer. I haven’t faced MBR issues recently, so I’m uncertain about how the latest Windows versions manage them. I remember using bootrec.exe for MBR repairs—not sure anymore. - Pete

From the terminal, input "cmd" in the search box to access the bootrec utility. Ensure you have administrative privileges to execute it—Pete

A rootkit compromise might affect your MBR, just like a virus can cause similar issues because of their overlapping characteristics.
