I performed a simple driver update on the Storage Controller from Device Manager and when I restarted I got hit with the BSOD Inaccessible boot device. I tried fixing the boot on the SSD using the bcdboot tool but no luck still BSOD. I'm able to boot in the HDD with the other windows installed on there.

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
