"Inaccessible Boot Device" error

Hi Bill,

The Inaccessible Boot Device error is usually occurring if a device driver that the computer boot controller needs is corrupted. For us to provide an effective solution, we would need you to answer the following questions:

• Which build and edition of Windows 10 is currently installed on your computer?
• Can you boot the PC to the desktop?
• What update are you trying to uninstall?
• What error message are you getting when you are trying to uninstall the update?

Since you already performed the troubleshooting steps that you mentioned in your post, we suggest performing an in-place upgrade. This
article published by
PaulSey provides further information on how to perform an in-place upgrade with Windows 10. In-place upgrade can repair Windows system files and can give you an option to keep your program and personal files. Check if the same issue persists
after performing an in-place upgrade.

We are looking forward to your response.

 

Inaccessible boot device

Suddenly, I cannot boot my Windows 10 Pro (v1903).
I was fine with the new upgrade to version 1903 for a couple of weeks but for reasons I cannot determine, I am now getting the error message: INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE.
I got into the repair menu and through DOS I issued a bootrec.exe /fixboot command but received an ACCESS IS DENIED error message.
I used my one and only restore point and was able to get back up. But when I rebooted the same INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE message reappeared and now I have no restore points to work with (so a lesson to you all: check whether Windows is creating more than one!).

Also, I tried the usual chkdsk & sfc commands which (as usual) were useless.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Danny
