winload.exe could not be verified, error code 0xc0000428

[Hrlyrdr22]

Running Windows 10 Technical preview 64 bit

Gigabyte 78lmt - usb3 motherboard

Keeps going into "repairing PC" but never works, like the title says, /windows/system32/winload.exe 's digital signature couldn't be verified.

Also when I press Enter to try again, or F8 for Startup Settings, it doesn't do anything, it's like my keyboard doesn't work.

Also I cant seem to boot into BIOS or choose Boot Device, "Del" and "F12" keys don't seem to work.

Wired or wireless keyboard? I would want to figure out the keyboard issue first

Once you get that sorted out, the next step will be to check and see if your HDD is working right. A failing drive could cause this kind of error.
If the drive is working, then consider doing a PC refresh or reinstalling the OS.

The problem is that Technical Preview expired April 15, and this is how they choose to handle it. You can change bios date to before April 15, but toy cannot reach your bios.

Oh, didn't realize they stright-up expired it already.

@Hrlyrdr
Go download the latest version of win10 from Microsoft, found here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview-iso
That one should do the trick!

I ran mine in VMware Workstation so was able to hit escape , select setup then get into bios to change the date. Seems to boot past that error and then syncs the time again after a boot.

Bit of a pain with UEFI i believe it hooks in at a lower level on the machine. I'd start wailing on all of the F keys to see if anything works.

Sorry the google chrome extension didnt work and didnt show any replies.

My keyboard is wired but was in the wrong port, I moved the keyboard to the one furthest left, or furthest up on the back of the case. After I moved it, it worked, so i guess windows has priority on certain usb ports.

I just installed windows 7 after, figured it would be better in the long run.
