Windows 10: Windows Boot Manager screen with the error code/ Statis: 0xc0000428 after overclocking...

Summary

• Rebooted computer after overclocking from UEFI to see a Windows Boot Manager screen with the error code/ Statis: 0xc0000428
• Found boot drive/ SSD booted windows fine on a different computer
• Booting off of a USB drive that had the windows recovery tool resulted in a Windows Boot Manager screen with the error code/ Statis: 0xc0000428
  • This even occurs if when no other drives are plugged in or if just the SSD is plugged in
• 
  Redownloading the windows recovery tool on the SSD from problem Computer (Plugged in the different Computer)
  

So earlier in the day I was overclocking my CPU, everything was fine until I launched a game an and my computer crashed, that.s all fine and good, as is takes time to find settings that are stable. I booted back into the UEFI and lowered the clock speed of my CPU, I proceeded to save and quit the UEFI to get back into windows to test the stability of the overclock.

After the motherboard logo went away I was visited by the Windows Boot Manager Statis 0xc0000428

I was in no panic, as I had youtube on my side.


Things That Have Been attempted To Resolve Issue

• Download of Windows creation tool on a separate computer
  • Downloaded windows with that tool on a USB drive
• Reset Motherboard CMOS
• Switched SATA Cables

Things Found From Troubleshooting.

• My SSD with windows does not work In said desktop
• When on a laptop and its HDD is transplanted with the SSD from the desktop, windows boots properly with no issues.
• Booting from a 64GB SanDisk USB, on the desktop with problems, with a fresh copy of Windows from the windows media creation tool results in the 0xc0000428 error code, same as the SSD.
• Plugging In the Laptops HDD into the desktop where the problem originated also results in "Windows Boot Manager" screen and subsequently Error code '0xc0000428'.

At the moment I will redownload windows to the USB drive using the windows media creation tool again, but I will do so using the SSD from the Problem Desktop.


Specs Of The Problem PC

• Ryzen 5 2600
• GXT 980TI
• ROG B350 Gaming-F Motherboard
• One 8GB stick of ram
• 240GB SadDisk SSD
• 1TB Western Digital HDD.

Blue Screen and Error code: 0xc0000428 on Startup


Hello,

When I start my computer the screen is blue and reports:
Digital signature for this file couldn't be verified
Error code: 0xc0000428
You'll need ti use recovery tools. If you don't have any installation media (like a disc or USB device), contact your PC administrator or PC/Device manufacturer

If I press F1 for Recovery Environment then I just return to the same blue screen and error message. If I press Esc then I can get into BIOS and choose to Boot from UEFI installation media.

First, let me say that I have Googled and tried pretty much every suggested solution out there but I still haven't been able to fix this issue.

Computer information:
Asus Laptop
Windows 10 Home

It started when I turned on my computer yesterday (worked the day before), the only difference is that I had plugged in headphones when I started the computer (the headphones I had used before on numerous computers).

To try and solve this I have:
- Downloaded the MediaCreationTool and created an installation Media (to have USB to boot from)
- I tried every System Repair and Restore (from Troubleshooter) but nothing worked. System Restore just restores to last known point (have tried different points) but the same blue screen error occurs.
- I tried to install a new Windows but I still get the same error (and now I can't do System restore since there are no previous saves)
- I have gone into Command prompt and tried Chkdsk and it reports no errors except that it was unable to save message log.
- I even tried to recreate the Registry by using CMD but when I came to the step to go into RegBack the directory is empty of any files (no Registry files so can't perform back-up)

So if anyone can help me figure out how to restore my computer it would be highly appreciated since it feels like I have tried everything.
