Disk recovery issue

[RegDir]

Looking for help with this issue.  Desktop crashed with latest windows 10 update so I created recovery usb and attempted to fix.  Now I get "The recovery has failed message" message and when I restart and press F11 I get the blue "Recovery" screen and error code: 0xc0000098.  Prompts to press F1 to enter recovery environment but then loops back to same screen. 

Hardware diagnostics performed, all pass. 

Any help would be appreciated.

That error code means the BCD is corrupt -- but if you are willing to do some work and have a working PC available and a USB stick, you can create the media needed to fix this.

Windows PCs use two different sets of files to get you to a working desktop.

In terms of the first, Windows boot files, you need to follow the instructions below to create boot media from Macrium Reflect (MR) that can be used to rewrite/repair the boot media on your PC:
1) Download and install Macrium Reflect (MR) from this link on a working PC: http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx
2) Use the option to create a boot USB stick or CD

That will create MR bootable media. Then, you can boot your PC into WinPE using that media.

Have patience, as that can take a while to start and bring up the screen.

Once the screen is there, select the option to Fix Windows boot problems. It will then search for the OSs installed and list them, Select the one you want to repair and click Next.

It will now do the repairs, listing the things it has done.

When finished, select the option to Restart the PC.

If this worked, the boot repair succeeded and you will have your PC back.

But if it did not, the Windows system files are most likely corrupted and you would have to reinstall Windows from scratch to fix that.
