    You need to fill in your specs as complete as possible. If we don't know what your PC is, we can't help.

    startup repair: What errors did it find? Click "view diagnostic repair results" and tell me which test do return a status other than 0x0.

    Why doesn't system restore work? Any error message?

    What sfc command did you enter exactly?
