Hello. So I am having a problem with my Windows 10 computer.

When I power it on, I get a blue screen with this error:
"Your PC/device needs to be repaired, error code: 0xc000007b"

I have tried unplugging everything, did the CMOS reset, but still getting this error.
I have a USB stick with Wwindows 10 installer on it, so if anyone knows how I can fix this booting issue via CMD would be very apreciated.

0xc000007b is common BSOD error, if you reset BIOS and SATA controller mode changes because of this.
You have to change SATA controller mode to previous value before BIOS reset.
Find SATA controller mode settings in BIOS and try out all possible options.
Usually they are - AHCI, RAID.
Can also be Intel RST (on Intel systems) and IDE on very old systems.

Tried all of those options, still get the BSOD...
 
The 0xC000007B exception is an 'invalid image format' exception. As you might expect, it indicates that the image file read from disk is invalid for this system or is corrupted in some way.

If the problem is not the SATA entries in your BIOS - assuming your boot drive is a SATA drive of course - then check the SATA data and power cables. If it's not that then check the drive; boot the installation media, select Repair My Computer, navigate to the command prompt, identify which drive letter is your system drive (the WinRE system does use different drive letters sometimes), and then run a chkdsk /r command on that drive. Post a screenshot of the last page of output from that.

If it's an M.2 drive (NVMe or ACHI) then check the appropriate BIOS settings for these drive types.

If none of that helps then you likely have a corrupted Windows installation on that drive and a reinstall will be needed.
