I have a blue screen that says there is a problem when starting up and it gives a code (NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM)

HOW DO I FIX THIS

The file-system on your disk-drive has folders, and subfolders, and files.

 

But, there is some "corruption" of that file-system.

 

After a few "failed" start-up attempts of Windows 10, it may start into "Recovery Mode".

In that mode, the CHKDSK ("check disk") utility can be launched to "de-corrupt" the file-system.

Try testing the hard drive.

This video shows how to test your HP computer hardware using HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI. If you suspect that your computer has hardware issues, follow the steps in this video to isolate and identify them using the HP PC Diagnostics UEFI. Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:18 Download and install

 it gives a code (NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM)

 

Would a "hardware-test" of the disk-drive report that the disk-drive is physically OK, even when the NT File System is logically messed-up? 

As above, force a reboot of Windows, interrupting it several times, until Windows takes the "hint" and starts-up in a "recovery" mode. Then, Windows will run its "check-disk" utility, to fix any "logical" errors in the File System.

 

If you purchase a box of jigsaw pieces from IKEA, and open it, do all the pieces physically look OK? Do you see the complete, finished, picture, or is there "some assembly required", to put 100% of the pieces into the correct logical position? Your disk-drive could be physically OK, but logically messed-up, and thus needing for Windows to do its "check-disk" repair.
