Windows 10: Windows recovery, missing/corrupt critical driver error 0xc000000d

I upgraded my Toshiba laptop automatically from 8.1 to 10 when the software came out (months ago) - have had no issues with it.
Then I was using my laptop it flashed blue and turned off. It now comes up with with recovery - your pc/device needs to be repaired (see image) - I'm able to access the recovery settings - have tried refresh, system restore, automatic repair, nothing works and seems to get worse. I've searched for the last day forums and most people seem to have boot/bcd errors and so don't work for this problem. I have a lot of personal files/photos that haven't been backed up for about a month and want to save them! Please help. I've downloaded the Windows 10 iso to a usb - but have only get semi regular access to a Mac so unsure if it's bootable. Any help would be greatly appreciated - sorry if this is the wrong place for the thread.

Windows 10 update

Hi,

Error code 0xc000000d is received when the Boot Configuration Data is missing some required information. In short, it refers to corrupted or missing system files. One way of resolving this issue is by rebuilding the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) via Command
Prompt. To do this, you may follow the steps provided by Kevin D Souza in this
thread. The steps in the thread can also be used on Windows 10.

Let us know how that turned out for you.

Error 0xc000000d is about boot files missing or corrupted and possible hardware failure.

Since the error happened during an update, a recovery may be worth a try before claiming the warranty at the store you bought the phone from.

The Device Recovery Tool wipes all and performs a fresh install. Please refer to

First option.
Try to get a live linux boot disk and boot from that to make a backup of the files you need.
(Always have this option open to recover files in cases like these. *Smile
