After a recent update Windows wouldn't open on my laptop or complete autorepair. I restored to a prior date and started to work again. Another update occurred and now it wont restore, repair or even reset. Is it beyond repair?

I tried running sfc /scannow /offbootdir=d:\ /offwindir=d:\windows from the command prompt but got a message asking me to specify location of offline boot directory and offline windows directory

Hi FreeBooter

 

Thanks for the help. I tried all of the steps above and still no joy. Maybe it is not windows that is the problem
