"System Call Failed"

Solved

Hello,
I have a big problem with my computer: it's an Acer Predator 17 running Windows 10.
The issue is: my PC no longer opens certain programs (a message appears: system call failure) and I can no longer access the start menu and search!
I have already searched through many different topics but unfortunately I cannot restore my PC since I can no longer access the start menu...

The problem occurred when I tried to remove a startup sound in the BIOS. I then reset the BIOS settings to default but nothing has changed.

It's very disabling and stressful considering the price of this computer. Thank you very much to anyone who can help me!

      Strange that this happens with ACERs... coincidence? A big thank you for your expertise, I had the same problem and this one is resolved.
