Hello today I switched from MBR to GTP using AOMEI Partition Assistant Tool because my friend told me it's better to have a gpt partition on a windows 10 plus i want to fresh install the windows. So I first made a USB bootable using rufus i choosed GTP UEFI or something like that and.. it didn't work oh yea before i made the conversion i tried with MBR version of windows 10 and it didnt work. It gives me this error everytime i try to boot it Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might have caused the issue after you install Windows Updates. I tried with a dvd as well and it gave me the same error please help i already lost like 4 hours searching up and nothing helped me..

unless it wasn't working, you should have let the media creation tool make the USB, it would have formatted it right for you.

Is this a custom PC or a brand name? If custom, what motherboard? If brand name, what make/model?

are you sure its booting off the USB and not just trying to boot windows?
