So, I was getting on my pc when I got this blue screen:

RECOVERY

Your PC/Device needs to be repaired

The boot configuration data for your pc is missing or contains errors

File: \Boot\BCD
Error code: 0xc000014c

You'll need to use recovery tools. If you dont have any installation media (Like a disc or USB device) contact your pc administrator or PC/Device manufacturer.

HELP, I dont know what to do and I don't want to lose qll my data. Someone please help me fast.

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

See if start up repair helps
change boot order so USB is first, hdd second
boot from installer
on screen after languages, choose repair this pc, not install.
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose start up repair - this will scan PC and maybe fix this - will ask for logon info


another fix is to do this:
boot from installer
on screen after languages, choose repair this pc, not install.
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose command prompt
We need to use the Bootrec.exe tool. Click on command prompt and type in the following commands, one after the other:
bootrec /fixMbr
bootrec /fixboot...

Exit

Now go ahead and reboot your system. In some cases you may need to run some additional commands.
bootsect /nt60 SYS or bootsect /nt60 ALL

you might want to describe what kind of storage you have in your system. some firmware bugs in ssd just require that you boot in to bios and leave the system powered for 30 mins then reboot and do it again to let the firmware do drive repairs. I guess you could also get this during certain updates if you have a secure bios enabled.
