This morning, I found my computer booting into the Windows Recovery Environment, and I can't seem to escape from it. I've tried resetting the PC, using the Command Prompt, running Startup Repair, and even uninstalling updates, but nothing works. Even a simple system reboot won't go through. I'm getting really frustrated here!

Your drive could be corrupt or malfunctioning. If you can, borrow another computer to create a Windows install flash drive. Boot from that and see if you can reinstall Windows—it’ll help determine if your main drive is the issue. If that doesn’t work, you might need to replace your hard drive.
Creating a bootable USB might do the trick. If that works, it likely means your main drive is failing. Just a heads-up!
It sounds like you might need to recreate your boot partition. It's a bit technical, so you might want to look up instructions specific to GPT partitions online. It could help get your computer out of this mess!
Thanks for the tip! I’ll look into it and let you know how it goes.
Do you have access to another computer and a USB drive? Also, make sure you know if your data and Windows are on the same partition, as that can affect how you recover your system.
You have a couple of options. First, consider replacing your hard drive and making sure everything is connected properly—be cautious about static electricity, especially with desktops. Alternatively, take it to a repair shop; they'll handle the hard drive issues, but it might cost you more.
I wish I had access to another computer! I’ll keep fooling around with what I have for now.
