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.

    If none of the options in that recovery environment are working for you, do you have a backup of your files, because the only remaining option will be to re-install Windows using that bootable USB.

    The Unnistall Update option says: A problem occured and it won't be possible to unninstall the most recent quality/functionality update.

    The System Restore says: To utilize the System Restore, you have to specify the windows installation you pretend to restore.

    Restart the computer, select an operative system and select system restore

    Try the Uninstall Update option, if that is not successful in resolving the problem, try System Restore.

    Yes. I have the Startup Repair, System Restore, Unninstall Updates, Command Prompt, UEFI Firmware Settings and the System Image Recovery options.

    Yes, that is correct, in there, do you have the options for System Recovery... etc.?
