    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

    Which tool to recover the EFI partition? Booted into Rescue Disk

    That's not what they suggest here:

    FIX: Steps to Fix Winload.EFI Error - Appuals.com

    Winload.EFI Error, is pretty much self explanatory by it’s name is an error that prevents windows from loading. This is usually caused by corrupt boot records or incorrect boot configuration. Depending on your Operating System, the error message may vary but the keyword winload.efi will be same. On a Windows 8/8.1/10 system, the error usually pops-up in the following form.
