    Error Code 0xc0000034 when attempting to install Windows 11


    My PC underwent a Windows update overnight recently. When I woke up, the computer was frozen right at the start of the boot process for Windows. Since then, it's been freezing during the Windows boot process every time except once, where it worked normally for a while as I backed up my files and played an online game with a friend before restarting it. After that restart, was never able to successfully boot into Windows again despite trying for hours.Running system diagnostics, all diagnostic tests I ran on my system and each component showed everything was working correctly. I attempted to ac

    Error Code 0xc0000034 when attempting to install Windows 11

    \Boot\BCD Error Code 0xc0000034

    Hi there, and thanks in advance for your help.

    I am using a Lenovo Ideapad 310-15ISK (model name 80SM) running Windows 10.

    I am receiving an error on boot 'Your PC/Device needs to be repaired

    The Boot Configuration Data for your PC is missing or contains errors.

    File: \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD
    Error code: 0xc0000034'

    I hadn't made an image backup of Windows 10 on this device before this error but I have used a family members HP PC to create a USB image of windows 10. I am not sure what my next step is after making this backup to restore the file, and I'm not well versed in windows repair.

    Many thanks,
    Amy
