Windows 10: Error code: 0x0000098

I have a problem with my laptop. When I first turned it on, I couldn’t log in with my password and the Wi-Fi wouldn’t turn on. I restarted it, but then a blue screen appeared with the following message:RecoveryYour PC/Device needs to be repairedThe Boot Configuration Data file doesn't contain valid information for an operating system.File: \BCDError code: 0x0000098I don’t have a recovery disc or USB. The only options I see areress F1 to enter Recovery Environment — but it doesn’t workPress ESC for UEFI Firmware Settings — I don’t know what to do there

It looks like you've made a good effort in trying to resolve the issue so far. The error code 0x0000098 typically indicates that Windows can't find a required system file for booting. Since you're unable to repair the existing installation, a clean installation of Windows 11 might be the way to go.

The error code 0x0000098 on your friend's HP Pavilion laptop indicates a problem with the Windows operating system, likely caused by a failed update. Your initial troubleshooting efforts, including running various command-line utilities and attempting startup repair, are sensible approaches. However, since these methods haven't resolved the issue, a clean installation of Windows 11 is a reasonable course of action.



To perform a clean installation, you need a bootable Windows 11 installation USB. Ensure it's properly created using the Media Creation Tool from Microsoft. Boot the laptop from the USB drive by adjusting the BIOS/UEFI settings to prioritize it in the boot order.



Once you're in the Windows 11 installation environment, proceed with the installation process. When you reach the disk selection screen, choose the partition where you want to install Windows. If you encounter issues with existing partitions, you may need to delete and recreate them to proceed.



After setting up the partitions, continue with the installation as prompted. Once Windows 11 is installed, visit the HP support website to download and install the necessary drivers for the HP Pavilion model. Additionally, reinstall any required software and restore data from backups.



If the problem persists after the clean installation, there could be underlying hardware issues, such as a failing hard drive or faulty RAM. In such cases, further hardware diagnostics may be necessary, and potentially, components might need replacement.



Prioritize data backup before proceeding with the clean installation, as this process erases all data on the selected installation partition.

Hi everybody,

I am new to this community. I really can use some help now. I have a Lenovo Ideapad Slim 1-14AST-05 laptop, i was doing some updates ( Windows updates and drivers ) and i wanted to restarted it to finish the Windows updates and then i get the error messages
0x0000098. I have tried the following methods that din't work : boot into safe mode, use in the cmd the command code bootrec /fixmbr, /fixboot, /rebuildbcd, /scanos and other commands.

i don't want and can't wipe the drive because it's a Emmc drive.
