Hello all,
Windows desktop froze, mouse pointer would move but could not select, restarted system, and it crashed showing message on blue screen [Critical process died]. This then took me to troubleshoot, tried all functions available;
Reset this PC
Advanced options
Start-up repair
Uninstall updates
System restore
System image recovery
Start up settings [All F1-F10 Functions]
All above options non-operative and either return back to start up repair loop or show [0xc0000001] Error Code.
Command prompt functions, have tried;
CHKDSK - it found no bad areas, but was unable to confirm Windows.
SFC SCANNOW - showed positive results, none of which have helped.
DISM - [Checkhealth, scanhealth, restorehealth] - all returned back errors.
BOOTREC - worked via link. Previous attempts failed until using this link.

Diskpart - Kept returning constant error codes. e.g. Access is denied.
I've also created a Windows 10 Bootable USB drive and created a recovery disc from my neighbours' laptop, as my own PC has repeatedly notified me that even though the Windows 10 installation files are present on the system, it is unable to locate them. The recovery process in its different variations that I have tried to keep failing with [critical process died and 0xc0000001]. In three days, I have got no closer to a working PC.
I've followed so many articles, most of them were unhelpful as they didn't help in resolving the issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I do not particularly what to do a fresh installation.
