Hi,

 

Try these steps..

 

Boot the computer by turning it back on and keep on tapping ESC. Then click F11 Recovery then

select "Troubleshoot" and then "Advance Options" and try these steps:

b.Select "Advanced options" and then select "Command Prompt".

c.If prompted, enter in the password for the user name.

d.At the Command Prompt, type the following commands and hit enter.

　

bootrec /scanos

bootrec /fixMBR

bootrec /Fixboot

bootrec /rebuildBCD

　

If prompted to press yes then press Y then restart if not then type the code below

　

　

chkdsk c: /f /r /x

 

After running the commands your computer should restart and will automatically install windows update. Sometimes it will take for a while to update. Just extend your patience and wait until your computer restarted successfully. DONT LEAVE YOUR COMPUTER UNATTENDED..
