    bcdedit last line: "A device which does not exist was specified"


    The output of every bcdedit command that includes a loader id has the following line added: A device which does not exist was specified. even when no device is in the command or in the output. Not booting problem. Any insights? FYI, the enumeration output: Windows Boot Manager -------------------- identifier {bootmgr} device unknown path \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi description Windows Boot Manager locale en-US inherit {globalsettings} default {current} resumeobject {666adf90-4cf2-11eb-9543-9715508633d2} displayorder {current} toolsdisplayorder {memdiag} timeout 10 Windows Boot Loader ------------------- identifier {current} device partition=C: path \WINDOWS\system32\winload.efi description 20H2 locale en-US inherit {bootloadersettings} recoverysequence {666adf92-4cf2-11eb-9543-9715508633d2} displaymessageoverride Recovery recoveryenabled Yes isolatedcontext Yes allowedinmemorysettings 0x15000075 osdevice partition=C: systemroot \WINDOWS resumeobject {666adf90-4cf2-11eb-9543-9715508633d2} nx OptIn bootmenupolicy Standard hypervisorlaunchtype Auto A device which does not exist was specified.

    Disabled Hyper-V using BCDedit

    ran the suggested cmd and rec'd this:

    the element data type specified is not recognized, or does not apply to the specified entry. Run bcdedit /? for command line assistance.

    Element not found.

    Thoughts?

    AMD Chipset Install Error: 1316, The Specified Account Already Exists

    In Device manager, most of those from that list are signed as Microsoft drivers, probably for compatibility purposes, just like disk drive drivers.
    These are only ones from that list that I can find that is signed as AMD.
