Ok so recently i used treefilesize to delete some things off my SSD where windows is installed, now i know what im doing when it comes to being cautious on what to delete, but for some reason. i originally tried to boot off my PC and very much couldnt it would go black for a second and bring me back to the login screen, so i just turned off the main power in the back before it turned back on, the issue isnt that it doesnt let me into windows because it does but only after 2 blue screens, it has the same blue screen that says


" The boot configuration data for your PC is missing content or contains errors "

then proceeds as



File: \Boot\BCD

Error code: 0xc000000f



i tried recovery tools, and command prompt, even updated and reinstalled windows, nothing worked idk what else to do

i went into the recovery options and hit reset this pc, i can use a usb i think but i dont see how that would be any different because resetting this PC claims it reinstalls windows

resets only touch C partition, the BCD info is on another hidden partition on the boot drive, so it wouldn't be fixed at all by a reset.

clean install will replace all info on boot drive

On another PC, download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB

If you have more than 1 drive in PC, it helps to only have ssd attached when you reinstall.

boot from installer

how did you reinstall windows? If you had done a clean install it should have fixed the BCD info and you wouldn't get BSOD.

BCD seems to be the 1st victim when you shut PC down without using proper methods. lose power, bcd breaks
