Windows 10: Help my computer is giving me error messages

I was doing a recovery of my HP desktop Windows 11 and I got everything downed including the start up page where you fill in the info for the computer. There is place where you have to wait for the computer to get done but then I got an red box with "Secure Boot Violation Invalid signature detected. Check Secure Boot Policy in Setup". and another blue box message Boot Device Not FoundPlease install an operating system on your hard diskHard Disk - 3F0F2 - Systems DiagnosticsIt is the exact problem that someone had last year. I tried everything and I still get the same message

Error Message when updating from Win-7 to Won-10

Bree
I followed your suggestions (2nd Aug 19) for installing Win-10. Made the bootable flash drive successfully through the media creation tool. But when I attempted to upgrade and activate to Win-10 (64 bit) from within Win-7 (Pro-32 bit), I got the following error message:

Error # OxC1900101-Ox20017. " The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation"

I read the diagnostics under this error number and carried out the proposed fixes, i.e. update Win-7, uninstall Malwarebyte antivirus, disconnect all external hardware, e.g. printer, scanner, external hard drives. I then tried to repeat the steps to do the upgrade through the Win-10 bootable flash drive as before. Got the same error message.
Appreciate any further comments and suggestions as to (a) what does a failure in the SAFE_OS during boot operation mean, (b) what can I do to solve it. Is this anything to do with the hardware in my computer? I listed these in my first posting above.
Thanks for any help

 

Windows giving conflicting message about drive errors

Error message doesn't seem to explicitly say there is a disk error:

The rest of a message (non bold) is probably irrelevant since scanning the disk reported no problems.

What is disk snapshot?
Snapshot (computer storage) - Wikipedia

I suggest you check following services are configured like this (ex. not disabled or stopped):

1. Virtual disk (vds) -> Manual
2. Windows management instrumentation -> Automatic and started
3. Windows management service -> Manual
4. Volume shadow copy -> Manual

I don't know if getting rid of old snapshots could also get rid of this message, but you can test your command that produces this error after starting above services and see how it goes.

I didn't see your update to previous post, but glad to hear you found the culprit! *Smile

 

ERROR 53 message

Hello,

Run-time Error 53 indicates that there is a missing Windows component. A program you're trying to use will display that error message if the program is attempting to use a dynamic link library, or DLL, file that has been deleted or was never installed properly.

We would like to know some information:

• Have you done any changes on your computer prior to the issue?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

For initial troubleshooting steps, we suggest that you try to run
System File Checker. It will scan for corrupted files and restore it.

If that didn't work, we suggest that you try to uninstall and reinstall the app.

Hope it helps. Let us know how it goes.
