Windows 10: Bootrec not working?

I had updated my bios driver to a newer one on my gigabyte motherboard.. It went to the recovery page every time i booted the pc. I went to the cmd prompt after installing windows 11 on my USB driver. After running the scanos command my drive shows that windows is installed on the 2 drives but when I do the rebuildbcd command it shows that windows wasn't found on the drive. Can I get my data back?

Bootrec /fixboot access denied. Various solutions not working

As alpha45 said the repair environment in the latest version of Windows 10 is not working correctly. I had the dreaded Boot Error 0xc000000e on my rig after using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller), to remove my graphics driver.
I couldn't work out why that would have happened but I thought this will be an easy fix. Just run some bootrec commands from the command prompt and I'll be back in business. But no it wasn't to be. Firstly I tried a USB with Win 10 V1803 which has all versions on it;

Incidently I'm running Win 10 Pro V1803. I then ran the following commands;

bootrec /fixmbr operation completed successfully
bootrec /fixboot access denied
bootrec /rebuildbcd
a Windows installation found (great), add installation to boot list - yes - no device found. Great.

I remembered vaguely someone online mentioning that the latest Win 10 build had a problem with the repair environment and in looking online I found this post and the mention of that exact problem by alpha45 again prompted me to to try an earlier version to see what would happen. So I attempted the above using a DVD I had with Win 10 V1709, same result. So I then went hunting and found a copy of Windows 10 Pro V1603 I had on DVD and repeated the steps above. All steps were reported as successful. I shutdown the pc, restarted and Windows booted successfully. I was very relieved I can tell you. So thanks alpha45 and I think this post will help many others as well.

 

Bootrec /fixboot - Access Denied Error

I am trying to repair Windows 10 on an Acer laptop.

The USB windows repair boot disc wont repair it automatically so went to the Troubleshoot menu and the command line tools where your articles suggest I try the following commands.

Bootrec /fixmbr, This seems to work.

Bootrec /fixboot This come back with an "Access Denied" message

Bootrec /rebuildbcd This finds the windows installation and asks to add to the boot list, which I say Yes and then it says it cannot find the path specified.

Is there any chance of a fix to this issue. I note many users have a problem with doing this.

 

Access denied on bootrec /fixboot

These are the commands and how to run them. No reason you should get Access denied.
