Windows 10: Windows 11 22H2 caused boot process to fail. bootrec /fixboot access is denied.

After 8 automatic successive fails to install the Windows 11 22H2 update, the ninth time caused a blue screen from which no option would work. I tried installing a fresh version of Windows 11 from a usb drive; this did not work, even after installing it 3x. I tried installing Windows 10 and realized the three previous Windows 11 were still there alongside Windows 10 on partition 4; I then tried formatting the drive to get rid of them - this also did not work. I don't know the correct terms, but I know that the laptop HP Envy is not finding the OS's boot file ? don't know the right term here

Bootrec /fixboot - Access Denied Error

I am trying to repair Windows 10 on an Acer laptop.

The USB windows repair boot disc wont repair it automatically so went to the Troubleshoot menu and the command line tools where your articles suggest I try the following commands.

Bootrec /fixmbr, This seems to work.

Bootrec /fixboot This come back with an "Access Denied" message

Bootrec /rebuildbcd This finds the windows installation and asks to add to the boot list, which I say Yes and then it says it cannot find the path specified.

Is there any chance of a fix to this issue. I note many users have a problem with doing this.

 

Windows 10 can't boot, bootrec /fixboot access denied

Windows 10 will not boot (stuck on the rotating circles), after uninstalling Ubuntu by deleting the partition.

I attempted to use bootrec to fix it, however bootrec /fixboot gives me access denied.

bootrec /findos lists 0 found windows installations.

On a laptop (no cd drive, no usb stick >= 8gb).

Windows version 10.0.16299.15

 

Access denied on bootrec /fixboot

These are the commands and how to run them. No reason you should get Access denied.
