After the recent (20H2) Windows 10 upgrade, my computer started misbehaving. I tried varous tricks like using a resore point but now I obtain BSOD Critical Process Died message repeatedly. The system chacks the hardware and finds no problem. Using one of the suggestions given on a related post, I have created a USB windows recovery drive using an older computer (Win10). This starts, but none of the recovery/troubleshoot/restore options have succeeded. Using the command prompt, I can see that the file structure on the C: drive is intact. Is there any way I can resore windows without losing my applications? My principal concern is that for some of the software installed, I may not be able to locate the product key. This goes for Windows 10, too.
One of the posts suggests use of bcdedit to set the computer to go into safeboot, but the system responds by saying that the command was not found. Indeed I cannot see it in Windows/system32 folder.
Any help in solving the problem would be greatly appreciated.
