[SOLVED] Corrupt SYSTEM registry file

[beethoven001]

Hello all,
I'm unable to boot my pc following a power outage some time ago. I'm getting a BSOD:
File:\windows\system32\config\system
Status: 0xc000014c
Info: Windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing, or corrupt.
and running SFC or DISM does not help, with SFC producing the error "Windows Resource protection could not start the repair service". CHKDSK produces no errors and runs fine.
Unfortunately I do not have any backups of the registry files (silly me), was unable to even get into winre until I created a recovery usb from a borrowed win10 laptop and was hoping I'd not have to reinstall windows all again as I have a ton of applications installed over the years that'd be a pain to reinstall and reconfigure.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Attaching my config file below for your consideration.

I have now rebooted severally, owing to a sudden sluggishness of the system, but no BSOD so far. Will do an in-place update as I'd already downloaded the latest win10 iso image.
Massive thanks once again and have a great weekend!

Have a good weekend too and good luck with the in-place-upgrade...
