Cannot repair your system?

“When I run Dell Backup and Recovery, it tells me it needs to update, don't power off or disconnect the machine from the internet, etc. When done it tells me I need to create my Factory Restore media, which I do. Now I power the PC off and reboot it from the recovery media I have just created. I choose the Dell Backup and Recovery Manager because there is still not a Dell Factory Image Restore option. The hard drive races for several minutes, but only minutes and the pc reboots by itself, but only as far as a Windows Boot Manager error: 0xc000000f. I would like to discover how to use Dell Backup and Recovery to return a ruined system to factory state and  how to stop dell backup and recovery from working incorrectly instead of just making my PC worse.”
