Just ran the boot repair program as you suggested. Above is the log. Still won't recognize windows as a boot option.
As per your question, I didn't use the updated version of the windows repair program, but it seemed to work earlier so I thought it was fine. I just ran it to help speed up my computer.
Boggin:
It's possible that running an earlier version of the repair program is the reason you are unable to boot up.
This had caused problems for some previously.
The Windows Repair program isn't a tune up program.
With each version of Win 10 MS change the Permissions which is why Shane needs to update the repair program to be compatible with that while remaining compatible with previous versions.
Which version of Win 10 are you on ?
That's bad news about the bcd store.
I've only come across one Google link about the MIBRL is missing and that guy ran Startup Repair which resolved it - did you run Startup Repair as I suggested earlier ?
However, there are some interesting cmds at the bottom of this article - https://www.boyans.net/RepairWindows/RepairWindowsBCD.html
If the Startup Repair doesn't resolve, can you also scroll down to the Win 8.1/10 section in this article - https://appuals.com/bootsect-exe-use/

I am using Windows 10 Home version. Yes I tried the Startup Repair tool a few times with no luck. I was hoping maybe you would find something in the log file that would help.
I will try some of your other link suggestions, but it's not looking good and I'm not too sophisticated with computers unfortunately.
If only I could get "Windows" recognized as a choice in the boot menu, but it
does not show up.
Boggin:
Those last two articles look promising for rebuilding the bcd and MBR.

I am doing a reinstall now. Pretty much exhausted other options, and it was having issues for a while where I had to repeatedly use a boot disk to repair anyways.
Thanks though for your help and efforts to come up with a repair.
Any suggestions on which of the programs you have that can be used as good safe tools to tune up Windows in general?
There is so much crap out there, You guys at least seem honest and able to provide solutions that can be helpful if used properly that don't have malaware potential.
I will look at this as a learning process and go from there.
Thanks,
Gary
