Windows 10: Win10 BSOD After Updates - Inaccessible Boot Device

Win10 Pro

HW: Gigabyte Z5 MB, Gefore1070, EVO500 SSD

Machine has been running finre for a long time. So my machine updated some stuff on the 5th sometime after midnight. Win10 Window logo comes up, white dots rotate for a bit, then BSOD: Inaccessible boot device. Safe Mode doesnt work.

I have tried variations of: MSDART, HirensPE, SergeiStrelecPE, Win10 recovery.

Notes: SATA set to ACHI. There is an old Win7 on another SSD that boots fine. All SFC scans come back with no errors.

I can see when i run DSIM all the following from that date:

First four are Package for RollupFix 31bf3856ad364e35

KB4551762 - Staged
KB4540673 - Staged
KB4528760 - Replaced
KB4532693 - Installed
MS Windows Hello Face

Nothing can remove any of these. DART, DSIM etc.
I tried editing the registry and setting the dword for Exclusive in SessionsPending to 0, and removing the SoftwareDistibution folder from WinSXS [I have a feeling this is what has borked the package removal]

Anyone have any further suggestions?

INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE after Win10 Update

1) Find a flash drive that you can format ( > or = 8 GB)
2) Create a bootable windows 10 iso:
Download Windows 10
4) Insert the flash drive into any USB port
5) Open the BIOS and temporarily change boot order so that you can boot using the flash drive.
6) When the iso loads choose language, time, currency, and keyboard, or click next
7) In the left lower corner click "repair your computer"
8) Click troubleshoot
9) Click command prompt
This should open: Administrator: X:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe > X:\Sources>

For all of the steps please use a camera or smart phone camera to take pictures and post images into the thread.

10) type: bcdedit | find "osdevice"
11) This may display osdevice partition=C:
12) type: diskpart
13) type: list disk
14) type: list volume
15) look under the column heading Fs for any volume that displayed RAW instead of NTFS
16) type: chkdsk /f /r G: (change G to the drive letter of the volume displaying RAW)
It may display "The first NTFS boot sector is unreadable or corrupt."
This may then convert the RAW volume to NTFS.
17) Type: exit
18) reboot to open the Windows advanced troubleshooting menu > command prompt > Administrator: X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe > X:\Sources>
19) type: bootrec /rebuildbcd
It may display:
Scanning all disks for Windows installations.
Please wait, since this may take a while...
Successfully scanned Windows installations.
Total identified Windows installations: 1
[1] D:\Windows
Add installation to boot list? Yes(Y)/No(N)/ALL(A):
20) Type: Y
The operation completed successfully.
X:\Windows>
21) Type: exit
22) reboot
See if the inaccessible boot device problem was fixed.

If the above did not fix the inaccessible boot device the next step is to remove the recent update:
23) Open command prompt > Administrator: X:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe > X:\Sources>
24) From the first command displaying the partition if the drive letter is different than C: please use the displayed drive letter for the next step
25) type: DISM /image:G:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions (change G to the applicable drive letter)
26) This should remove the latest update and fix the inaccessible boot device.
27) If this does not fix the inaccessible boot device plan a registry repair.

Report into the thread your progress with images of the above steps.

 

Windows BSOD - Inaccessible Boot Device

Ever since December after a windows update, any time I re-boot I get a BSOD - Inaccessible Boot Device, and have to go back to a restore point. Currently my update log shows KB4054517 failed (0x80070643 on 12/12/17, Cum update on 1/5/18 filed then succeeded,
and all future updates through Cum update KB4056887 on Jan 19th succeeded. Windows runs fine with no errors, but having had to go back to a restore point 6 times in the past 6 weeks, if I reboot I will get the same BSOD and have to restore again. Any suggestions
on how to fix the inaccessible boot device error I keep getting??
