    File winload.efi is missing upon Windows installation


    Hello.I was trying to install a second Windows install on a separate drive HDD, and when after everything installed, the laptop goes into recovery mode and errors out: The application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors.File: \Windows\system32\winload.efiError code: 0xc000000eI'm installing Windows 11 on the HDD while already having Windows 10 on my SSD.I was wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that I have 1 EFI Partition on each drive? I believe only my SSD should have it cause Windows operates off of it.Is there a way to

    Windows 11 winload efi missing, F8 button not working

    Hello,

    My HP is not starting up. I’ve received the ‘winload efi is missing or corrupt’. All the troubleshoot steps require me to go into startup settings but in order for me to do that, I have to press F8 however when I do press it my screen flashes and it doesn’t take me there (this is on the blue ‘recovery’ screen with the error message). Can anyone help me please. I need to get back into my laptop. I can’t afford to reinstall the OS. Too much important files and data that I didn’t back up unfortunately ��.

    PS. My photos are failing to load so I could show the screens that I have been stuck on

    The blue error screen:

    Recovery

    Your PC/Device needs to be repaired

    The application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or

    contains errors.

    File: \windows\system32\winload.efi

    Error code: Oxc0000225

    You'll need to use recovery tools. If you don't have any installation media like a disc or USB device), contact your PC administrator or PC/Device manufacturer.

    Press Enter to try again

    Press F1 to enter Recovery Environment

    Press F8 for Startup Settings

    Press Esc for UEFI Firmware Settings
