Blinking Cursor when booting Windows 10 on bootcamp

Hello, I have a 21.5'' late 2011 iMac with MacOs Sierra 10.12.6.

This is my problem: my Windows 10 Bootcamp partition stopped booting while i was trying to expand it. It gives me a black screen with a blinking cursor:

My MacOs is working fine though... also the option to boot on the bootcamp partition is no longer present in the disk selection screen (the one that appears while holding command when powering up the iMac)

I tried to run on a Live Windows installation usb:


"Bootrec.exe /fixMbr",

"Bootrec.exe /fixboot" and

"Bootrec.exe /fixRebuildBcd"


but /fixboot returns me "Access Denied" and "/fixRebuildBcd" it's not working either


This is my mounted EFI Volume tree using these commands from this discussion:Can't resize Macintosh HD partition

The commands:


"sudo mkdir -p /Volumes/EFI"

"sudo mount -t msdos /dev/disk0s1 /Volumes/EFI"

"ls -lR /Volumes/EFI"


The output:

I think it's an EFI related problem, can someone help me please?

Thank you
