Wdboot.sys missing or damaged

A  while ago  while  repairing  my  laptop, I went to this youtube  video https://youtu.be/2ODt6w3LUqY for tutorial. I did the command prompt part and stopped at "attrib c:\boot\bcd -h -r  -s" because it said  "path not found c:\boot". Then I instead went into System Restore which is on 16/6. After  finishing and restarting, there's Automatic Repair loading screen (I did not chose to do that) then proceed to run into Windows 10. But instead it says 0xc000007b error with wdboot.sys path  written and saying if the file is missing or damaged. If possible, I didn't want to  reinstall or use bootable USB since I have many important works and only one laptop. Thanks

PS: I did one more System Restore which is on 15/6, still same result

    Hi, I'm Ana M., an Independent Advisor. I would love to help you today.

    Try entering Safe Mode to repair Windows.

    Check this link in the Option (From a black or black screen)

    If you can't restore Windows after performing the previous steps.

    You can repair Windows, download the ISO:

    I recommend you borrow a PC to create a USB to repair Windows

    Ok, so it says remove my apps and settings, but keep my files, how do I keep my apps and settings?

    You know, I got gigabytes of games and don't want to redownload, unless game data are considered files too, and folders.
