Windows 10: Pc starts with BAD SYSTEM CONFIG INFO, 0xc0000001 and 0xc0000098

Let me first tell you how I got to that point.

Windows 10 Pro x64 1909

I was casually playing Minecraft with my brother when a weird error appeared in the console that had something to do with the world backup. From that point on my whole PC locked up increasingly often. Until it crashed all together and I got a blue screen.

UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION

I waited for it to collect the required information and it restarted. Well it tried. After the main board logo with the loading animation showed trice just to afterwards crash I got the following error.

B1InitializeLibrary failed 0xc00000bb

This however wasn't a blue screen but instead the main board logo with the error text in the upper left corner.
There didn't appear to happen anything afterwards, so I just it shut it down at that point.
Upon starting it up again I was then greeted by a different blue screen message. This time it read:

BAD SYSTEM CONFIG INFO

I started with a memtest64 and chkdsk but both finished with no results.
I then googled a bit for the error and found the following commands that were supposed to fix everything.

bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /scanos
bootrec /rebuildbcd

/fixmbr executed successfully but /fixboot returned "access denied".
I still tried /scanos and /rebuildbcd but both of these commands found no Windows installation.

I then found site that apparently had the solution for the /fixboot.
After assigning a drive letter to the UEFI volume I executed the following commands:

format N: /FS:FAT32
bcdboot C:\windows /s N: /f UEFI

bootrec /fixboot
"access denied"

So this didn't work. Before this it would show the windows loading screen main board logo & windows loading symbol where it would the show something along the lines of "starting repair process" at the beginning, that would after some time return to the "BAD SYSTEM CONFIG INFO" blue screen.
It now doesn't even try that but instead go straight to the blue screen. After the automatic restart I now land on the recovery screen with the error code 0xc0000001.
When choosing the recovery environment I again get send to the recovery screen, but now with the error code 0xc0000098 and the file \BCD

I have also played around with bcdedit commands but can't quite remember in what context I use it. Either way it didn't help.


It is fair to say that I have now tried everything I could think of to bring my PC back to life. I'd be more than happy to try everything that has a chance of getting my PC back to working conditions.


If it is clear that my PC isn't recoverable from this state I'll also resort to just reinstalling Windows, but before that I want to try to get it working again.


Any form of help is greatly appreciated!

Many thanks in advance.

Bad System Config Info

Hi John,

Thanks so much for your suggestion. Sadly, the fixes did not work, and I'm still getting "bad system config info."

MS support is still not honoring phone calls reserved in advance/promises to call back in a few minutes-- must say I'm disappointed.

Any further ideas?

Connie

Bad system config info and failure to launch windows 10

Windows 10 on a Dell XPS about 1.5 yrs old

turned machine on and got the Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart; bad system config info.

Went through the multiple suggestions to fix, repair or restore but none of them were successful. Seemed to get a consistent response that a problem was encountered and therefore no the problem couldn’t be resolved.

Under troubleshoot attempted the prompt command option. The message under the Microsoft Windows [version 10.0.17134.1] said not enough resources available to process this command.

I found a video on youtube to address the bad system config info issue and followed the steps as presented.

After going through that process my system still won’t boot up.

there apprared to be enough free space on C.

thanks in advance for any assistance
