  1. Error code 0xc0000428


    I have searched the community and no one is answering the issue I have. I powered down my computer Windows 10 Pro os with the most recent updates as of 11/22/18. When I returned home after 5 days I attempted to boot my computer and it gave me an error of "insert boot disc" I have a fully installed and verified version of Windows 10 Pro. I had done a digital download of the os but because cannot boot the machine I cannot get to the install file. I downloaded an install on the microsoft site using my laptop and created an install file on a USB stick. I rebooted my computer, changed the boot drive to my usb and it brought up a screen named Recovery. This is the exact verbiage it gives me:


    your PC/device needs to be repaired


    the digital sigature for this file could not be verified


    Error code 0xc0000428


    You'll need to use recovery tools. if you don't have installation media, contact your pc administrator or Pc /device manufacturer.


    Press enter to try again

    Press f8 for start up settings


    I cannot get to recovery, I cannot get to any prompts of any type. So I went and bought a new hard and did the create installation media for another Pc. I get the exact same message on a completely blank harddrive.


    I refuse to buy a new download of windows as i paid for the current Windows 10 Pro and see no reason to buy a new license for the same machine that I am currently installing on. i cannot get pas this recover screen. I am not a novice and have built many machines.


    if is hit F8 it gives me a list of possible options all of which when I select them brings me back to the recover screen with the same messages as written above.


    Help
