Without actually knowing what I was doing ;-] I blindly followed the inscructions up to some point min I did not want to create a new partition but it was enough so what I did was:. After those steps I noticed there was another installation that I could chose in the recovery mode.
It was called Windows on Volume 2. I picked it and bang! Windows was booting again ;-. Unfortunately I now had to select the installation that I want to use, so I opened msconfig and in the Boot tab I deleted the invalid one it was the one without a drive letter :.
I suspect it was caused by one of my external HDDs. At that time I had three of them attached, one to the notebook directly and two to the docking station.

Universal apps those you get through the Windows Store are not allowed to start automatically when Windows starts. There are several ways of accessing the Task Manager.
This tab displays all apps that start with Windows, along with details like the publisher of the app, whether the app is currently enabled, and how much of an impact the app has on Windows startup.
That last metric is just a measurement of how long it takes the app to start. Some startup apps are necessary for the correct operation of the operating system or programs that you use. Fortunately, Task Manager makes this easy. Note that when you disable a startup app, Windows does not stop the app from running immediately.
