Windows 10: BSOD even after Windows 10 reset, 0x000000e

(Note: I've also posted my question to the microsoft forums because I'm really desperate at this point).

Windows Version 10.0.18363 Build 18363

Hello guys, I'm coming to you as my last resort. I have no idea what's wrong with my computer, and I don't know how to fix it. Ever since I upgraded to the newest Windows 10 build, I've been running into BSODs constantly. It's too late for me to revert back to my previous version of windows 10. A piece of this error is that while I'm using the PC, randomly I'll get a BSOD. The Stopcodes have varied, I've gotten:

SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR
UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION
CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED

And other codenames. What's consistent about them is that it says "Collecting data", but it never actually does that. The percentage hangs at 0% and then my computer will restart. Once restarted, I get a blue screen that tells me:

"Your PC/Device needs to be repaired.

The application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors.

File:\WINDOWS\System32\winload.efi

Error code: 0xc000000e

You'll need to use recovery tools. If you don't have any installation media, contact your PC administrator or PC/Device manufacturer."

This screen has 4 options. I press enter to try again and it doesn't do anything. I can't access Startup Settings. I can only go into the recovery environment or UEFI Firmware Settings.

I've tried system restore and it hasn't worked. I've tried different cmds like "sfc /scannow" and it says there are no errors. Eventually I get to a point where I can "Continue into Windows 10" (from the Recovery Environment), and it usually boots like normal and then lets me into Windows 10 again, only for it to crash either shortly after or a few hours after, and then I'm back into the loop again. I got fed up of it earlier today and I decided to reset my pc, but I kept all of my files (because I can't afford to lose them). For a while, everything was working the way that it was supposed to and I started to reinstall my programs, only for me to eventually run into the BSOD again, despite this being a new install.

I don't know what's going on and I'm really worried because I use this desktop for work and for fun. I should also mention that I built this myself in 2017, but I don't know if it's hardware related because I haven't changed the hardware since then and everything appears to be working fine. Please let me know what I should do, and I hope that I don't have to completely wipe everything because I can't afford to right now. Thanks in advance.

I was able to get into my desktop between crashes (it's now having wifi problems) and I've attached the crash file too.

"A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed" Error 0x000000e on Windows 10

I wanted to install an SSD in a Laptop with 2 HDDs, one of which is not used. I took out the HDD which was not used, replacing it with the SSD and leaving the HDD with the
current Windows 10 Operating system. I then installed Windows 10 from media creation on the new SSD. But I receive the error : "A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed" - "Error 0x000000e", when I select the new
Windows installation from the Boot Manager.

Steps followed:

1. Replace HDD with new SSD. (Still with 1 OS HDD installed)
2. Create Windows 10 installation media with the Media Creation tool from Microsoft.
3. Boot from Windows 10 installation media.
4. Install Windows 10 on the new SSD. (no volume exists)
5. Installation Completes.
6. Re-boot.
7. Windows Boot Manager shows the 2 Windows 10 Installations.
8. Select the new installation.
9. Receive the error : "A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed" - "Error 0x000000e"

After some research I have found the following two options:

Option 1: This seems like a simple solution, but will I be able to boot from both Operation Systems (OS) after this?

1. Reformat the Partition created on the SSD for Windows 10
2. Remove the old HDD from the Laptop
3. Reinstall Windows 10 from the installation media

Option 2: This is the most common suggestion but the information around this fix is fairly limited, I don't understand why this simple installation would cause issues here? I did run bootrec /scanos and no OS was listed.

1. bootrec /fixmbr
2. bootrec /fixboot
3. bootrec /scanos <--- If no OS is found run the following
   1. bcdedit /export C:\bcdbackup
   2. C:
   3. cd boot
   4. attrib bcd -s -h –r
   5. ren C:\boot\bcd bcd.old
4. bootrec /rebuildbcd

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
