Windows 10: NDIS.SYS Error 0xc000000f; Loop Startup Repair

Hello,
All of a sudden started having issues with laptop going into infinite loop of StartUp Repair.
After looking at several posts, I did
(1) chkdsk - everything was fine
(2) sfc scan - couldn't finish, Failed to transfer logged messages to the event log with status 50
(3) bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /rebuildbcd
(4) Restore Windows registry from backup folder

Still infinite loop
Now disabled autorecovery and see the following error about
NDIS.SYS
Error Code: 0xc000000f

Am trying to get this fixed with minimal changes to the system. Any advice?

Thanks

:)

Hi,

Let's perform a “Startup Repair” using Windows 10 bootable DVD or USB drive and check if that helps. Initiating repair from CD/DVD may have different results.

If you don’t have the bootable DVD or USB drive, please refer to the steps in the article given below to create one and then follow the steps given below.

Create installation media for Windows 10

Download Windows 10

Once you have created the bootable USB or DVD drive, please follow the steps.

• 
  Insert the installation DVD or USB
  and boot Windows 10 from it.
  
• 
  In the ‘Windows setup’
  page, select the‘language to install’, ‘Time and currency format’ and the ‘keyboard or input method’ and click on ‘next’.
  
• 
  Click on ‘Repair your computer’ and select
  ‘Troubleshoot’.
  
• 
  Click on ‘Advanced options’ and select ‘Startup Repair’ and select the operating system.
  

You might also require to change the boot priority in BIOS in order to allow the computer to boot from CD/DVD.

Important: While scanning the hard drive if any bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair that sector, any data available on that might be lost.

Note: Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent
your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

I just tried a 'Reset this PC'.

After few hours :

'Unable to reset your PC. A required dirve partition is missing.

 

Copied ndis.sys from another working laptop. Still no luck.
