Windows 10 - Automatic repair loop

So today I've hit this snag. After a short while using my desktop PC to browse the internet I got a bsod which mentioned Memory Management as the error.

The PC then rebooted and started in 'Preparing Automatic Repair' but then after logging in when presented by the 'Select account' screen it proceeds to 'Diagnosing your PC' but fails to remedy anything.

I've tried the following...

Reset memory settings in bios to remove any oc.

"bcdedit /set {resumeobject number including curly brackets here} recoveryenabled no"

Reboot but still enters 'Preparing Automatic Repair'.

The first time it went through 'Diagnosing your PC' it churned out a log file here...

C:\Windows\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt

This seems to suggest it ran a few tests and all had a pass outcome.

Can't boot into safe mode as it reboots into 'Preparing Automatic Repair'.

"chkdsk /r C:"

"mdsched.exe" (Windows Memory Diagnostic)

All the above has passed so I don't know why it still insists in going through 'Preparing Automatic Repair' at boot up.

"sfc /scannow" - this results in verification 100% complete but followed by a message underneath 'Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation'.

Above commands used from a command prompt without the above quotes.

I've also looked at the option to use a restore point but it reports that I don't have any. That's a bit of a surprise as I didn't think I had turned that feature off.

Anyone else encoutered this type of issue have any ideas please?

Got a bit further, had to use...

"bcdedit /set {default} recoveryenabled no"

This now shows a different error screen on start up now which states the error relates to this driver and an error code...

WINDOWS\System32\drivers\ndis.sys

Error code: 0xc0000221

Anyone know if across Windows 10 the ndis.sys file is the same, could I just copy this file over from another system?
 
I think ndis.sys may differ across different versions of windows 10. Can someone please confirm the file size of theirs on a w10 pro 64bit system?

In a command prompt..

cd windows\system32\drivers

and confirm the date and file size as reported in the command window for ndis.sys
