You need to provide us with more information.
Are you receiving an error message, if yes post the exact message in your topic.
What happens if you leave the computer in this startup condition?
What is the make and model of this computer.
What version of Windows 10 are you running currently? To determine this do the following.
Press the Windows key and the R key at the same time to open the Run box. Copy and paste or type in winver, then click/tap on OK. This will show the version of Windows 10 you have running.

If you can boot into Safe Mode boot into Safe Mode with Command Prompt.
When the Elevated Command Prompt opens copy and paste the three commands below one at a time, press Enter after each command.
Bootrec /fixmbr
Bootrec /fixboot
Bootrec /rebuildbcd
You should see the following.
Scanning all disks for Windows installations.
This may take a while, please do not stop the scan.
If this was successful you will receive the following message.
Successfully scanned Windows installations.
Total identified Windows installations: 0
The operation completed successfully.

Hi after going into safe mode with command prompt I get c:\windows\system32>
If I type in any of the the 3 Bootrec commands I get an error message - not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.
Do I need a different prompt to start?
Thank you for your help in advance. It is appreciated.

My apologies, I gave you the wrong instructions for opening Safe Mode in Windows 10.
How are you entering Safe Mode?
Try this...
Press the Windows key and the R key to open the Run box.
Type cmd in the Run box and click/tap OK. This will open Command Prompt.
Enter the three commands one at a time, then press Enter after each command.
