Got a BSOD after using program

<< < (2/3) > >>

Boggin:
The bcdedit cmd should have produced something like mine -

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.657]
(c) 2019 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>bcdedit |find "osdevice"
osdevice                partition=C:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>

However, when you boot up with install media, you are booting into memory and not Windows which is why it shows as a X:\ prompt.

You need to find where it sees the volume.

What happened when you entered the bcdedit cmd ?

On mine it usually returns as E: but I think that is because I use an USB.

I think if I was using a DVD then it would return as D:

You would need this partition letter to direct to what is required to be repaired.

Scroll down to the Win 10 section in this article to run the bootrec cmds - https://neosmart.net/wiki/fix-mbr/

Disregard the bit about downloading Easy Recovery Essentials as it's a paid for program and is untested fully for Win 10.

How did the System Restore option work out ?

StylishHokie:
When I entered bcdedit find| "osdevice" it just repeated the previous command which is X:/Sources. I already knew the partition letter though so it's not a big deal. System restore found no restore points.

My dad actually bought Easy Recovery Essentials and I did try to use it. Automated repair didn't work and their customer service has been terrible so far. Every solution I've used has found zero errors, yet i still I cant login into Windows.

 I've never had issues with your program before so maybe it's something I did. I'm stumped.

Boggin:
So the dism and sfc cmds completed as they should have ?

Try those bootrec cmds in the article to see if they will fix the mbr and bcd, although I'm not sure of the path you would use in backing up the bcd.

It's a pity you don't create system images as they would have fixed this in a crack.

It's strange that no restore points had been created.

StylishHokie:
Yeah the commands ran fine, but it didn't fix the problem.  I ran bootrec commands but it says access denied on fixboot. I don't know how system image works, but Windows should have created restore points. Rebuild bcd doesn't work either.  It says the requested system device cannot be found.

Boggin:
It sounds like the system is screwed.

It has been found that when you run an older version of the repair program on the latest version of Win 10, the machine may not boot up after the reboot.

The reason for this is because with each new Windows Update, MS change the Permissions and is why Shane needs to keep the program up to date.

The current latest version is 4.7.1 - are you using the latest version ?

You could try a Kaspersky Rescue Disk which has sorted my laptop when it wouldn't boot, but it doesn't work for all.

If that fails then I think you are looking at a clean install.

You can use Ubuntu to transfer your personal files to an external HDD or USB and then boot up with the Win 10 install media to navigate to the Install screen.

However, you will need to reinstall all of your programs.

When you are prompted for a product key, I believe there is an option to choose "I don't have a product key"

You can carry on from this where it will auto digitally activate.
