I purchased Avast cleanup premium, ran it and everything was good. Cleaned up system/junk etc etc. Wasn't really having issues with my daily usage of Windows before this either. This was just to prevent build-up of any potential future issues. Little did I know, Avast would brick my PC lol.
The final Avast recommended check was, 2 of my drives hadn't been scanned, one of which was C. So I ran that, it found 2 errors.
Asked me to restart my PC (Windows gave me a notification to say the same thing too, error found with drive C after the Avast fix completed).
Restarted PC, and now I have the following:
- Fixing C, Stage 1 and 2 both go to 100% completion. Restarts.
- Automatic Repair starts, fails, goes into Blue Screen message "Your PC did not start correctly" and repair/troubleshoot options
I've tried Windows Start-up Repair,
Cmd prompt: chkdsk /f /r c:, sfc, bcd repair (although one of the
bootrec /fixmbr didn't work due to 'Access Denied').
Couldn't repair registry files via cmd as no reg backup in /regback folder
Unfortunately no system repair point.
What the heck do I do???
