This isn't a virus (although I regard Windows 10 as being close to one.) but maybe the problem's resilience to a disk re-image gives a clue to somebody out there as to what needs to be nuked/reset, where it is and how to get to it? How can it survive a disk re-image? I've only ever seen similar behaviour on a PC with a rootkit virus and that required a special utility to clear it off. In the end I re-imaged the laptop disk from an old Veeam Endpoint disk image I took of the laptop and stored to external USB disk. bootrec commands (bar the /fixboot switch which always gave me 'Access Denied'), copying files out of the Regback folder et al but nothing worked. None of the other recovery options work either. When I do that and try to get at the restore points it claims that there are no restore points available - and I'm sure there were. It then announces that it couldn't repair the laptop and the options are to Shut Down or go to the Advanced/Recovery options. I've got a Dell laptop running Windows 10 which is stuck in a boot loop whereby on startup it claims to be 'Preparing Automatic Repair'.
