After the update, the automatic repair of a corrupted Windows 10 startup binary file failed
After updating to Windows 10, my computer won’t start up, and automatic repair has failed. The log indicates that the boot binary is corrupted. How can I resolve this?

The "boot binary is corrupted" error usually means the Boot Configuration Data (BCD)—the file that tells your PC how to start Windows—has been damaged. The most common cause is a failed Windows Update.

Turn it on and as soon as Windows begins to load, hold down the power button to force shutdown.
