see if this helps

right click start button
choose powershell (admin)
type SFC /scannow and press enter
once its completed, copy/paste this command into same window:
Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth and press enter
SFC fixes system files, second command cleans image files, re run SFC if it failed to fix all files and restart PC

spacing is important on 2nd command, if you get an error 87, you haven't got spacing right. If it asks for source, I will need to ask more questions

If it asks for source, are you on latest version of win 10?
right click start
choose run...
type winver
current version is 1809 or 1803.

If you are on 1803 the source fix will be difficult as it needs an ISO that matches your install version and the current ISO on WIn 10 web site is 1803. I would suggest updating to 1809, it might fix this. Go to here and click 1st link to get the Upgrade assistant, Run it and will update you.

if you are on 1809 now, follow this:
Download a copy of the win 10 iso from Here - create ISO by telling it you want to make DVD - and then mount that ISO in file explorer (see Here) and then copy paste the below command into command prompt (admin)

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:X:\Sources\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess

Where "X" is the drive letter where the ISO is located. Simply change the "X" to the correct drive letter

My next step would have been to see if you had a recovery partition, as its possible you didn't.

I could have also suggested booting off the Win 10 installer and run cmd on it

Seems you took the hard route.

Wonder why your thread was marked as solved when neither of us did it?

Your drivers shouldn't be old, Windows goes looking for the newest drivers it can find for hardware and its got a pretty big database of drivers now since every hardware maker has to submit its drivers to MS to get them digitally signed to work with 10.

Sorry you reinstalled without me replying.
