    Where were you advised to mark Active and Rebuild BCD?

    Repeatedly you've been asked if you wiped the HD using the forum's tutorial: SSD - HDD Optimize for Windows Reinstallation

    This is how boot sector corruption is dealt with to give a clean slate for reinstall.

    In this case, you jumped to reinstall without asking first how to repair an installation borked by Updates which is something we fix here every day.
