Recently my laptop failed to start up properly. It repeatedly entered a loop, cycling through "Automatic Repair," then "Diagnosing your PC," followed by "Repairing drive errors," which could last up to an hour before restarting and repeating the same issues. Note: I’m avoiding full OS reinstallation, even though Windows 11 sounds appealing. I disabled automatic recovery via command prompt (`/bcdedit /set {default} recoveryenabled no`) in Recovery Options. After rebooting, I encountered a stop code `0xc00007b`. After some research, I downloaded the Microsoft Defender Offline Scan from the provided link and installed it on a USB drive. When I tried to boot from it, I saw a small window displaying: File: \\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD Status: 0x000000d with details about a boot configuration error. It seems my MBR might be corrupted or needs adjustment. Should I also capture a boot log? (I can turn it on but don’t know where to save the logs.) Also, I found the PC model and OS information listed.

It appears the boot drive is damaged. You can obtain Windows 10 installation media and perform a fresh install.

You could try opening the command prompt to check if Explorer functions there. If that doesn’t work, you might manually transfer files from the internal drive to the USB using the adapter you have.
