Hello. A few days ago I installed the drivers of a USB Wifi adapter (from TP-Link), but the adapter didn't work so I restarted my PC. It still didn't work so I restarted it again. This time when booting up it got stuck in the initial BIOS screen (the one with the manufacturer logo, Asus in this case, that says press DEL to go to BIOS). I didn't know what to do and was in a bit of a hurry so instead of looking for a solution in there I restarted the computer again (by pressing the power button). I probably shouldn't have done that.
Now it passed that BIOS screen but got stuck in another loop: a black screen with the white Windows logo and the loading dots that first said "preparing automatic repair", then "diagnosing your PC" and finally "attempting repair"... and it got stuck there. I left it like that for many hours but nothing changed.
I looked for a solution online and tried doing some things. First I resetted the BIOS to its default settings (didn't solve the problem). Then booted from a USB drive and went to the Advanced Startup Options. Tried doing a System Restore, but apparently I didn't have any restore point so that didn't work. Also tried uninstalling the lastest updates (both features update and quality update), but it showed a problem while uninstalling so it couldn't complete the process.
Then I went to the command screen and wrote this command:
bcdedit /set {default} recoveryenabled No
As far as I know it disables the automatic startup repair feature. The command was run successfully and I rebooted. This time there was no "attempting repairs..." loop, but instead I got this blue screen: (I got told that I'd probably get an error while running that command) (it's in Spanish, translation below)
Translation:
"Recovery
The system needs recovery
The operating system couldn't be loaded because it can't find a critical system driver or it's damaged.
File: \Windows\system32\drivers\ndis.sys
Error code: 0xc0000102
Choose one of the following options to adress this issue:
Press ESC for recovery
Press ENTER to try again
Press F8 for startup configuration"
Looks like an important issue. What should I do now? Can this be solved without losing my files? Thank you in advance, I'd appreciate any help.
