Windows 10: Windows Boot Error \BCD xc0000098 after entering BIOS Setup

English version of the original postDear Forum,I am currently trying to understand a very strange behaviour. My system starts normally, but as soon as I go into the BIOS and leave it directly or save soemting, it doesnt matter with , for example, I end up in the \BCD xc0000098 bluescreen. I then have to boot from the Windows installation stick, run bootrec /rebuildbcd, then the system boots normally again until I go into BIOS setup, which then starts all over again. I got access to the EFI partition and saw that only the file \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD has a fresh date+time from the last boot.

BCD File Rebuild and BIOS

Our IT department updated my pc to 1803 not realizing that I have an X299 motherboard and a Samsung NVME SSD boot drive. I came in the next day to get the BCD File error BSOD with error code 0xc000098 (a known bug but not fixed a year after discovery).
Our IT department looked up this issue and decided to rebuild my BCD file and was (we thought) successful implementing this solution. My pc then booted from the previous NVME SSD drive. I had migrated my OS from the 256GB SSD to a new 500gb SSD, both NVME.
No troubles for a year booting from the 500gb disk and now it boots from the old 256gb drive which I did not wipe on purpose. I boot into the UEFI ASUS bios on the pc and the boot order configuration only lists one option for position 1 to 4. Before each position
listed each bootable device. First of all why in the world would a Windows update and BCD file rebuild screw with the BIOS and second how do I get the proper C: drive boot with to way to change the boot order in the BIOS?
