So are you stuck in Safe Mode ?
If you are and unable to turn off fast start up, then you will have to use bootable media to access the reset option.
Can you go back to that MS ISO site and create a bootable DVD - you should be able to boot up with that.
When you boot up with an install disk, having already pressed any key to boot from CD/DVD after being prompted, you will be presented with an inverse screen with Windows Setup [EMS Enabled] highlighted - just press enter and wait for the files to load.
Click on Repair your computer on the Install screen and navigate to the advanced options, click on Troubleshoot and then Reset.

If you are able to create a bootable DVD and can boot up with it, given how things seem to be getting worse, when you boot up to the advanced options, before you go for the Reset, select Command Prompt and enter bcdedit |find "osdevice"
For clarity, that is a Pipe symbol before find and is the uppercase of \
Using your partition letter if different to the c: I have used, enter chkdsk c: /r to check the status of your HDD.
Its full report will appear on screen but check to see if it reports any KBs in bad sectors.
If that comes back clean then enter exit to close the cmd window and use the back arrows to take you back to the Reset option.
If it reports KBs in bad sectors, then hopefully the chkdsk /r will have repaired things sufficiently for you create a system image onto external media in preparation for full HDD failure.

OK I can not boot up from the DVD I made or the thump drive.But I can boot up and run the thump drive thats windows 10 pro is on ??? here two pics from my BIOAS and F12 take a look get back with me thanks

It must be an old machine that doesn't have the option to boot from an USB - my old Win 7 one is the same.
However, with the DVD drive being at the top should boot up with the DVD.
What happens when you try to boot with the DVD ?
While you will be able to perform a repair install with the USB, I don't think that would do anything with the Recovery partition.
Can you shut the machine down then start it up and power shutdown when the Win 10 logo comes up.
Do that another twice and leave it to continue to boot after the third start.
This will put it into Diagnostic mode which will eventually get you to the advanced boot options to select the Command Prompt to perform the chkdsk as I've described and then the Reset if that comes back clean.
