I think that may be the only option remaining now if none of the other recovery options are working for you.
Windows Repair & Blue Screen bootloop
Having a similar problem like this, only difference is that my computer is extra mad and when booting Advanced options screen and trying to go to Command prompt and doing the commands it seemed to work for the person mentioned above, it says "there are no admin accounts" and gives the option to restart to try to find other accounts. After restarting, instant "IO1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED" BSOD. Reboots, goes back to square one and repeat.
If someone can help out please do, but I'm probably going to end up reinstalling Windows. I used my computer the day before this with no problem.
P.S. I can't even reset the PC, because it "can't find an admin account" again.

Yes, I have tried everything and same results. Will reinstall Windows, seems like there isn't anything else we can do.

I appreciate your help, however it did not work for me. When I did bootrec /fixBoot it said access is denied and when I did bootrec /rebuildBCD it said it didn't identify any Windows installations.

If none of the options in the Recovery Environment are working for you, 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 option, you will not be blocked by a password.

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)
