Boot error

Everytime I boot my laptop, the startup settings menu shows up. If I chose one of the options, it goes into a screen saying : Recovery Your Pc/Device needs to be repaired error code: 0xc0000225. If i press enter to try again, it shows another screen saying: Recovery. The operating system couldn't be loaded because the digital signature of a file or one of its dependencies couldn't be verified. File: \WINDOWS\System32\drivers\sfvfs02.sys Error code: 0xc0000428. The only way I can get past the startup settings menu is by clicking f7: "Disable driver signature enforcement". When I press f7 it goes into a BSOD saying stopcode: DRIVER_VERIFIER_IOMANAGER_VIOLATION.

What failed: wdf01000.sys

I can't boot into my system and I wanted to know if anyone knows how to solve this problem.

    I have created the bootable USB and I am on the troubleshoot menu. Is that the recovery environment?

    In that case, you will need to create the bootable USB to access the recovery environment on the USB.

    The Recovery environment options don't do anything. The Firmware UEFI opens a whole different menu and I have the command prompt. The other ones don't do anything

    If you cannot access the Recovery Environment using those steps, then you will need to create a bootable Windows 10 USB on another working PC and boot your PC from that, then rather than installing Windows 10, select ‘Repair this Computer’ that will give you access to the Recovery Environment from there

    In the Recovery Environment on the USB, try each available recovery option.

    Click this link:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

    to download the Media Creation Tool (Click on Download Tool Now), with that you can download the latest Windows 10 ISO (Select Create Installation Media for Another PC), you can create a bootable USB flash drive (min 8GB) using that tool

    Then, Boot your PC from the Installation Media you just created (change Boot Order in your BIOS)
