Windows 10: Boot Error code: 0xc000000f

[Riley4995]

Hello,

I am submitting a request for help with a windows 10 desktop. I am getting the error from the windows boot manager that my status of this error is 0xc000000f. The info given is The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible. I have tried a few things but an open to many responses. When I press enter as it gives me the option to enter or exit, my operating system boots up with no problems. I have read on multiple sites this is a more common windows 7 issue and a repair disk should fix it but I have windows 10 and have tried a few of the chkdsk commands. However no luck. All help appreciated! Thank you!

It's not advised to fiddle with CMD, powershell or registry as Windows 10 seems to be very finicky with minor changes. If you can boot into your OS, back up your critical content and then try a repair install. At this point of time, it'd be in your best interests to create a bootable USB installer and have it handy for troubleshooting.
