Windows 10: My notebook won't boot after I updated Windows and restarted it inaccessible boot device

When I went to turn off the notebook there was the option to update and restart it. So, I did and when the computer restarted it gave me a blue screen saying inaccessible boot device. When I looked in the BIOS the only SSD in the notebook with Windows installed wasn’t showing. The SSDs memory isn’t full there’s still enough space.All my programs and files are on the SSD, and I don't want to lose them.

Inaccessible boot device

This is a Microsoft link on inaccessible boot device:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...le-boot-device

It is an intermediate level link.
There are more advanced steps that can be ran once the partition structure is known.
There are steps for repair of the boot sector, operating system, etc.
Sometimes this bugcheck can be caused by windows updates.

A reset save files equivalent may be able to be performed.
Alternatively a clean install can be performed once important files are backed up.

Inaccessible boot device

I recently got the error "inaccessible boot device" on a laptop with Windows 10 Home Edition.

No updates were installed between the time it was working and now.

I made a recovery USB last year and the computer will not boot from it although I have listed it as the first boot in the setup.
