Windows 10: BSOD Computer will not interrupt bios to get to Windows Recovery Environment.

BSOD Stop Code "Inaccessible Boot Drive" I have tried shutting down but it will not enter WinRE. I can not interrupt the bios during startup to get to WinRE. Therefore I am unable to adjust the BIOS to startup from a flash drive. It just refuses to enter a safe mode

BSOD after updating bios. could not boot anymore or enter recovery environment

I now totally regret the decision of updating bios, following the suggestion of Lenovo Vantage. Since May the update of Windows 10 has significantly slowed down my slightly over 1 year old IdeaPad 730S. I thought the update of BIOS is likely the fix.

Well, I've entered the forever loop of BSOD with all kinds of error, when the update needed to restart. I tried to enter the Recovery Environment or even recover from a bootable USB with Window Installation Media, no success but continuing BSOD as well.

When the automatic repairing suggested the ESC, F1, F8 options, only ESC to the bios worked. All other lead to the same BSOD:

Trying the automatic repairing when restarting, the BSOD shows:

Recovery

Your PC/Device needs to be repaired.

The operating system couldn't be loaded because the system registry file is missing or contains errors.

File:\ WINDOWS\system32\config\system

Error code: 0xc0000017

The odd thing is that even with the installation media on USB, I still could not enter the recovery environment but the same BSOD.

I'd greatly appreciate if I can find a way to go back to the stage before the bios update, as I could not get into Windows at all. Or I can somehow fix those missing files through bootable USB?

Thanks!

BSOD Recovery Media Fails

Hi,

This issue might have occurred when the boot files are missing or corrupted.

I suggest you re-built the boot record by following the below commands and check if it helps.

You will have to use Windows 10 installation media to follow the steps to boot into Recovery Environment and try to rebuild BCD.

Step 1: I suggest you to create an installation media for
Windows 10 using the media creation tool:

Step 2: After preparing the installation media, insert it hard reboot the device and follow the below:

• Boot into Windows Recovery Environment using the Windows 10 installation media.
• Click on Repair your computer.
  
• Click on Troubleshoot and in the Advanced options.
• Select Command Prompt. Type the following commands into the prompt and press Enter key after each command.
  • bootrec /fixmbr
  • bootrec /fixboot
  • bootrec /scanos
