I updated from Windows 7 to Windows 10 a few months after it came out and never really had any problems with it. Now, every time I start my PC I get a blue screen with the error code: 0xc000000e saying that the file Windows/system32/winload.exe is corrupted or somehow damaged. I can start the PC if I access the BIOS when booting and simply exit it again without doing anything, then Windows boots normally and there aren't any problems but I'd rather fix this issue. I have looked online for some solutions but most use the windows installation dvd and I only have the one for Windows 7 since I updated to Windows 10 over the Internet. Any help would be much appreciated
 
Solution
IS the system UEFI or leagcy BIOS? This is a MBR stop code (Boot record is corrupted) you will need installation media to repair it.
Use Windows 10 bootable DVD or USB and boot.
Select option to repair your system instead of installing.
Go to command prompt (in advanced options) and hit following commands to repair MBR.
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /rebuildbcd
Press [y] when system asks you to accept.
Exit
