Windows 10: Your PC/Device Needs To Be Repaired (0xc000001) Nothing Works

Today, when I restarted my computer, it couldn't boot. It read, "Your PC/Device Needs To Be Repaired" with 0xc000001 for the error code.

I tried every single fix that there was. None of them worked.

I tried using startup recovery. It said that it couldn't repair anything.

I tried using bootrec /fixboot. It said "Access Denied".

I tried bootrec /rebuildbcd. It said "Total Identified Windows Installations: 0".

I tried mounting the boot volume, formatting it, and rebuilding the partition. It said that it was successful, but it didn't work.

I tried running bootsect /nt60 c: /force /mbr. It said that it was successful, but it didn't work.

I tried using DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth. It said that I couldn't use /Online on a PE environment.

I tried sfc /scannow. It didn't detect anything.

I tried sfc /scannow /offbootdir=c:\ /offwindir=c:\windows. It said that it couldn't start the scan.

I tried chkdsk c: /f. It was successful, but it didn't work.

I don't want to lose any of my files, apps, or settings.

I'm at a lost for now. Do you know any other way I can fix my computer without losing any data?

Recovery - Your PC/Device needs to be repaired

Hi,

To resolve this issue, we suggest that you repair your PC using an installation USB or disc. If you do not have a Windows 10 installation USB or disc, you can download and create one from the

Microsoft software download website. To create an installation media and use it to repair your computer, follow the steps below:

• On a working PC, go to the
  Microsoft software download website.
• Download the media creation tool and then run it.
• Select Create installation media for another PC.
• Choose a language, edition, and architecture (64-bit or 32-bit).
• Follow the steps to create installation media, and then select Finish.
• Connect the installation media you created to your nonfunctional PC, and then turn it on.
• On the initial setup screen, enter your language and other preferences, and then select
  Next. If you're not seeing the setup screen, your PC might not be set up to boot from a drive. Check your PC manufacturer's website for info on how to change your PC's boot order, and then try again.
• Select Repair your computer. You will then be able to perform Startup Repair to repair your PC.
  
• On the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot >
  Advanced options > Startup Repair.
