The windows startup files and the WRE (windows recovery environment) in your computer may be corrupted
Try booting the laptop from a Win 10 USB recovery disc.
You can create the USB recovery drive from any known working Win 10 computer (go to Control Panel > Recovery) It takes about 40 minutes to create the USB and you'll need a min 4GB USB flashdrive (- 8GB to be sure)
When you have the USB drive start the laptop and either get into BIOS and change the boot order to USB as first choice, or press F10 to change the option to show USB as first boot option.
