Windows 10: Loading System Repair disk results in Error Code 0xc000a004 - kernel is missing or contains...

Pc froze and forced shutdown and upon turning it on again I was met with a black screen that said "Reboot and select a proper boot device" I tried rebooting, checking for loose cables, checking the nvme and ssd, clearing cmos, and finally put in a recovery key and was met with this screen. I attempted to use an installation media in the form of a usb to repair windows but it was not able to repair and chkdsk /r would not work and the reason was the drives were write protected. I could not find anywhere to fix this issue online, said pc is also unbootable without either recovery usb or installa

Loading System Repair disk results in Error Code 0xc000a004 - kernel is missing or contains errors (file: \windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe)

I have recently migrated from windows 7 to windows 10 and have created a System Repair Disk. Running the system repair disk to verify it loads results in receipt of the following error message: "The operating system couldn't be loaded because the kernel is missing or contains errors. File: \windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe Error code: 0xc000a004"

Research on the web finds no specific response. The computer appears to be operating normally, just unable to load the repair disk (minimizing key entry during the boot does not have any impact).

Any assistance is appreciated.

The operating system couldn't be loaded because the kernel is missing or contains errors. Error code: 0xc0000185

I recently bought a new 256gb SSD and installed a new windows 10 on my computer. But I am getting several errors like system file is missing, the operating system couldn't be loaded because the kernel is missing or contains errors, system_service_exception and a critical driver is missing, etc.

Tired of these errors since 3 months

Please help.

Thank you.

 

Error Code: 0xc0000221 Operating system couldn't be loaded because the kernel is missing or contains errors

Hi,

I am getting the error for windows 10 start up

Operating system couldn't be loaded because the kernel is missing or contains errors

Error Code: 0xc0000221

I don't have a recovery or restore point set.

I tried Hp PC hardware diagnostics uefi for storage and no errors

I tried to do factory reset. I get error that reset cannot be done.

All checks done with HP diagnostics. No luck.

I did search the forum Redirecting

But the above post did not help
