    Windows 10 cannot boot. Cannot run bootrec /rebuildbcd


    Hi, my computer had a BSOD and upon rebooting, it doesn't boot into Windows anymore. It reboot loops when trying to load Windows circle with dots. I've entered recovery and tried to use the following commands in Command Prompt:


    bootrec /fixmbr --> Ok

    bootrec /fixboot --> Access is denied

    bootrec /rebuildbcd --> Total identified Windows installations: 1, The requested system device cannot be identified due to multiple indistiguishable devices potentially matching the identification criteria.


    To solve the fixboot problem, I've tried the instructions here but to no avail:

    https://www.kapilarya.com/fix-bootrec-fixboot-access-is-denied-in-windows-10


    To solve the rebuildbcd problem, I've tried the instructions below but again to no avail:

    https://superuser.com/questions/725322/issue-with-a-windows-7-boot-issue-involving-the-bcd-perhaps


    Can someone help me get my computer running again? I've tried multiple recovery tools but none of them has fixed the issue.


    Running bcdedit /enum gives the following:

    The boot configuration data store could not be opened.

    The requested system device cannot be identified due to multiple indistinguishable devices potentially matching the identification criteria.

  2. Windows 10 Boot

    In the bootrec.jpg image:

    Rebuildbcd found 1 copy outside of the windows store.

    Total identified Windows installations: 1

    Repeat the steps in the image:

    bootrec /fixmbr

    bootrec /fixboot

    bootrec /scanos

    bootrec /rebuildbcd

    Add installation to boot list? Yes/No/All:

    type: Y

    then enter key

    It should display :

    The operation completed successfully. (The BCD rebuild is complete.)

    reboot

    It it works that will complete the troubleshooting.

    If it fails then it may be able to be rebuilt with additional steps.

    Windows 10 cannot boot. Cannot run bootrec /rebuildbcd

    bootrec /scanos or bootrec /rebuildbcd not working

    I'm getting an odd issue where if I run either command, they don't run all the way through. bootrec /scanos doesn't tell me how many (if any) installations of Windows were found, and bootrec /rebuildbcd tells me it might take a while, but then quits after
    a few seconds with no other words.

    Might be worth nothing that bootrec /fixboot returned as having denied access.

    Any thoughts?
