Last Friday I selected the 'update and shut down' option and left for a few days. Next time I tried to boot up, got the blue screen of death. Unable to repair, unable to restore. Looking through the srttrail log, I found "recently serviced boot binary is corrupt".
Unable to start in any Safe Mode option, getting error code 0xc000021a no matter what I try.
Ran chddsk /r, had some problems, ran again and eventually completed successfully with a few bad clusters marked.
Tried many things that were found in various posts:
- bootrec /fixmbr - ok
- bootrec /fixboot - keep getting "access denied"
- bootrec /scanos - keep seeing 0 windows installations
Tried renaming/removing bcd file, but was unable to find any bcd file in any boot directory (maybe this is an obsolete process?)
bcdedit displays Boot Manager and Boot Loader attributes, pointing to partition 'C'.
Eventually found command bootsect /nt60 ALL which finally allowed the **** /fixboot command to run, but bootrec /rebuildbcd still finds 0 windows installations, and does not run.
Tried bcdboot c:\Windows, said it completed successfully but no difference.
How can I rebuild my boot record so I recover from this issue? Spent a lot of time on this so far, very frustrating ...
From the WindowsUpdate log it looks like version 20190602.204143.841 is the version that was applied.
I'm running on an older Dell XPS 8700
