I now totally regret the decision of updating bios, following the suggestion of Lenovo Vantage. Since May the update of Windows 10 has significantly slowed down my slightly over 1 year old IdeaPad 730S. I thought the update of BIOS is likely the fix.


Well, I've entered the forever loop of BSOD with all kinds of error, when the update needed to restart. I tried to enter the Recovery Environment or even recover from a bootable USB with Window Installation Media, no success but continuing BSOD as well.


When the automatic repairing suggested the ESC, F1, F8 options, only ESC to the bios worked. All other lead to the same BSOD:


Trying the automatic repairing when restarting, the BSOD shows:

Recovery
Your PC/Device needs to be repaired.
The operating system couldn't be loaded because the system registry file is missing or contains errors.
File:\ WINDOWS\system32\config\system

Error code: 0xc0000017


The odd thing is that even with the installation media on USB, I still could not enter the recovery environment but the same BSOD.

I'd greatly appreciate if I can find a way to go back to the stage before the bios update, as I could not get into Windows at all. Or I can somehow fix those missing files through bootable USB?


Thanks!
