      Method 3: Restore Registry Key

      By default, backup copies of the registry entry are automatically created in Windows 10 every few days. Since the error with the file "SRTTRAIL.TXT" is often associated with its keys (OS, drivers, and so on), try copying data from backups.

         BCDEDIT / SET {GlobalSettings} AdvancedOptions True

      

      2. After that, close the utility and restart the device again. Now the right menu will be called automatically each time the OS starts. After the menu appears with different options for downloading the system, press the "8" key.

      

      3. As a result, the system will boot without the participation of ELAM protection. It is likely that the problem will be solved.

      In the latest version of the OS there are utilities that scan system components and files automatically correcting errors in case of detection. To apply the method, you need to do the following:

      1. First of all, run the system in "Safe Mode". Since the error with the file "SRTTRAIL.TXT" does not allow you to log in to the usual way, you will have to boot from the installation drive, run the "command line" and process the command specified in the previous method, after which the system restart.
      2. In the download mode selection window, press the "6" key. Checking the system is also performed in the "command line", but it must be run directly from the OS, and not from the installation media.

      

      3. In the window that opens, use the SFC / SCANNOW command. Her processing takes time. It is important not to close the utility until the end of the inspection.

      

      4. Upon completion of the operation, process another command:

         DISM / ONLINE / CLEANUP-Image / RESTOREHEALTH

      

      5. It takes even more time than the previous procedure. At the end, do not close the "command line", otherwise you can restart the system only physically. Instead, run the shutdown -r command.
      6. During the restart, a window will appear with launch options. In it just click "ENTER". Entering the system, call the "Command Line" on behalf of the administrator. To do this, simply click on the search icon, enter the CMD query and select the option from the resulting results shown in the screenshot number 3 and 4.

      

      7. In the window that opens, execute the BCDEDIT / DELETEVALUE {GlobalSettings} AdvancedOptions command.
