So recently I installed a PAE patch on my imac11,2 running bootcamp windows 8.1. If you don't know what that is its basically modding the kernel to make you able to run higher than 4GB ram on 32bit windows. The reason I use 32bit windows is that the imac gpu is the radeon hd 4670. 64 bit drivers didn't work on it and I don't think it would be fixed because support ended a long time ago. So one time I was using the PAE patch of windows and there was a update that installed microsoft edge. I updated it even though I was just going to delete it. When it was done updating, when i booted into the PAE patch, it started to go in a automatic repair loop. I didn't think there was anything wrong because all it did was install microsoft edge. (I know it was microsoft edge because the unmodded windows 8.1 "randomly" installed Edge.) Then i disabled automatic repair, and then the "your pc needs to be repaired" screen came up. It did have a option to use unmodded windows 8 but the keyboard stopped working. When I used a new installation disk of windows, it booted but the keyboard didn't do anything at the "press any key to boot from cd", even though the keyboard works perfectly fine.So now im stuck
