Recovering a Computer that Fails to Boot

bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /scanos
bootrec /rebuildbcd

Restart to check if fixed

Still no fix?

C:
cd boot
attrib bcd -s -h -r
ren bcd bcd.old
bootrec /rebuildbcd

This can be reverted with bcdedit /import C:\boot\bcd.old

Restart to check if fixed

Still no fix?

diskpart
diskpart> list disk
diskpart> select disk <num> # disk with os installed
diskpart> list volume
diskpart> select volume <num> # approx 260MB, FAT32 -> looking for EFI partition
diskpart> assign letter=b

cd /d b:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\
bootrec /fixboot
ren BCD BCD.old
bcdboot C:\Windows /l en-gb /s b: /f ALL

Fingers crossed and reboot one last time :)
