Hello,
I restarted my laptop a few days ago, the battery icon was missing and I figured it’s time for a restart. Once it restarted, the automatic repair failed. “Startup repair couldn’t fix your PC” gives the option for the log file SrtTrail.txt. I have tried booting it in all safe modes, disabled early anti-malware option, low resolution video and none of those startup settings options worked. I was able to open up command prompt and notepad. First thing I did was copy my files to a couple of external hard drives. Feeling more secure that I wasn’t about to lose all my data I tried to fix the issue. I was able to open the log file, everything looks good except
“Boot Critical File C:\windows\system32\drivers\mbamswissarmy.sys is corrupt.
Repair action: File repair
Result: Failed Error Code 0x57
Repair action: System flies integrity check and repair
Result: Failed Error Code 0x57”
A quick search of the internet says mbamswissarmy.sys is a Malwarebytes file and it looks like I’m not the only one this has happened to.
I do not have any recovery discs or access to another PC at the moment. I have not yet tried Reset this PC. Can I delete the driver from the command prompt? Is this wise? Should I try to do the reinstall Windows/keep personal files option? A system restore, or wait it out until I can get access to another PC with a USB?
Many thanks in advance.
Edit: I’m using Windows 10
