Windows 10: Cannot boot into windows 10 - inaccessible boot device

Hello. I am running Windows 10 in a virtual machine on my QNAP NAS. Today I got stuck in a loop with the error "Inaccessible Boot Device"Startup repair is not able to help and any sort of advanced troubleshooting is asking for my password. I verified that my password is correct but I keep getting a message that it is not. I changed my password and still I cannot advance the process.Any ideas?

:)

Inaccessible boot device

This is a Microsoft link on inaccessible boot device:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...le-boot-device

It is an intermediate level link.
There are more advanced steps that can be ran once the partition structure is known.
There are steps for repair of the boot sector, operating system, etc.
Sometimes this bugcheck can be caused by windows updates.

A reset save files equivalent may be able to be performed.
Alternatively a clean install can be performed once important files are backed up.

 

Inaccessible boot device

I recently got the error "inaccessible boot device" on a laptop with Windows 10 Home Edition.

No updates were installed between the time it was working and now.

I made a recovery USB last year and the computer will not boot from it although I have listed it as the first boot in the setup.
