Question Windows 11 Rebuilding BCD failiures since yesterday

[Chicago60]

HiAll

My windows 11 desktop suddenly started giving me problems last night.

It started with Error Code: 0xc0000225. A required device isn’t connected or can’t be accessed.

After hard reboot, the desktop tookpassword but hanged up immediately or I could get to the desktop screen but mouse and keyboard dids not work. I have recharged my wireless mouse/keyboard, used another set and even a wired mouse.

Then I got 0xc0000001 error. Your PC couldn’t shut off properly.

I have reset the CMOS and reset the system time.

I have i5-10600K, MSI MPG Z490, 32 GB Ram (2 Sticks), and Samsung SSD 970 EVO 500 GB.

Fast boot is disabled.

I have done the following (via Google search)

X:\sources>bootrec /fixmbr

The operation completed successfully

X:\sources>bootrec /fixboot

Access is denied

X:\sources\bootsect /nt60sys

Target volumes will be updated with BOOTMGR compatible boot code

Beginning system scan. This process with take some time.

N:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot>bcdboot c:\windows /s N: /f All

Boot files successfully created.

N:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot> exit



Remove USB drive

Choose an option / Continue Exit and continue to Windows 11



I got error 0xc0000001 this time. I have repeated this procedure few times, sometimes it hangs up right after entering password or at the desktop (mouse and keyboard do not work).

I am back to trouble shooting again (the last time before posting my message)

X:\sources>bootrec /fixboot

Access is denied

X:\sources\bootsect /nt60sys

Target volumes will be updated with BOOTMGR compatible boot code

Bootcode was successfully updated on all targeted volumes

X:\sources>bootrec /rebuildbcb

Total Identified Windows installations = 0

Diskpart shows no letter assigned to Fat32 partition.

I turned it off, removed usb drive. I get to the login screen. After putting my password, the desktop hangs with windows loading circle trying to login.

I have no idea what to do next (I live in country and I am 2 hours away from a computer repair shop or BestBuy)

Thanks

when you power it up again, immediately press SHIFT + F8 key, then Click on “See advanced repair options” and from the next screen, choose “Troubleshoot” then choose “Advanced Options” then choose “Windows Startup Settings” There you will find a button “Restart”. Click on this button and allow the wizard to complete all the steps.

shift+F8 (keeping it pressed) takes me options where I can boot up in safe mode etc. Nothing like you described
