    Winload.Efi missing either after an update or accidental deletion


    Hi , I have an issue with my laptop.After Updating my laptop a blue screen appeared saying that \Windows\System32\winload.efi is missing with an error code 0xc00000f.Around the Same time I was deleting some stuff off my computer as well so between this and updating I'm not sure if I may have deleted it by mistake.I've tried to fix the problem by downloading A Windows Installation Media via usb but it keeps saying I don't have enough space and I'm doing this via the Advanced Boot Options - Safe Mode as I'm unable to get into Bios Setup .So I'm unsure if I'm doing this correctly as the informati

    Windows boot winload efi error 0000e9

    hi my acer swift ryzen laptop completly crashed the weekend with the winload efi error .

    ive gone into bios and disabled secure boot in uefi but no result . Ive managed to download windows 10 on usb drive and set it up in bios to boot from that drive however i still get the same blue window as before even tho the usb is top of the boot list.
    I want to go into advanced options but it doesnt appear on the blue screen and now mot sure what to do . Any help would be great , i dont want to wipe the machine if possible

    Windows 11 winload efi missing, F8 button not working

    Hello,

    My HP is not starting up. I’ve received the ‘winload efi is missing or corrupt’. All the troubleshoot steps require me to go into startup settings but in order for me to do that, I have to press F8 however when I do press it my screen flashes and it doesn’t take me there (this is on the blue ‘recovery’ screen with the error message). Can anyone help me please. I need to get back into my laptop. I can’t afford to reinstall the OS. Too much important files and data that I didn’t back up unfortunately ��.

    PS. My photos are failing to load so I could show the screens that I have been stuck on

    The blue error screen:

    Recovery

    Your PC/Device needs to be repaired

    The application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or

    contains errors.

    File: \windows\system32\winload.efi

    Error code: Oxc0000225

    You'll need to 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.

    Press Enter to try again

    Press F1 to enter Recovery Environment

    Press F8 for Startup Settings

    Press Esc for UEFI Firmware Settings

    Winload.Efi missing either after an update or accidental deletion

    Move EFI partition

    its to enable win 10 to update to its anniversary edition.. it cant do this due to lack of C drive space i have had a quick try with the trial version of easus.. it didnt seem to be able to do what i want..

    i am assuming i cant just delete the efi partition but maybe i could.. as yet i havnt even figured out how to get into the bios of the thing.. maybe that should be my next step.. *Smile Winload.Efi missing either after an update or accidental deletion :)

    diskpart could probably do it but figuring out how (it aint that user friendly) might be difficult without step by step instructions..
