I have an Asus Zenbook. After/during the latest Windows 11 update, I am no longer able to boot into windows. I get Stop code: DRIVER PNP WATCHDOG BSOD, and sometimes INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE. I can't get to the recovery environment, although BIOS is still working.

    Hi,

    I solved this issue for an Asus Flipbook. I have exactly the same problem as timeleeshue:

    Driver pnp watchdog screen

    No access to safe mode because of the same, it shows this screen again while loading

    And also window kit via USB wouldn’t work as this didn’t find the hard drive in any window 10 0r. 11. I even included the drivers for the hard drive and nothing worked. What I did is the following and I hope helps as this is frustrating!

    Access to the BIOS - turn on and off 3 or more times until you have access to the options there. Then go to advance settings and once there, disable the intel rapid storage technology option. You have to change the option to disable first and then go and click disable, it would get stuck for some minutes configuring and updating this. Then save and restart again. Turn on and off to access to the safe environment, blue screen with the options and troubleshooting etc. Before this didn’t work because you wound end up in the same sad face screen with the driver pnp…message. This time the options there would work and you will have the option to reset you computer without losing your files. Reset go through the process and that’s it. It took me many hours to figure this out, but I hope it helps!

    He had problem, see first post, I am not sure what he sees at that screen where you load the driver and he also told us what drivers he tried to install which were the wrong ones.

    Never mind about that.

    Since then, he has tried several times to clean install W11 Public Release using the MCT with the correct bios settings and loading the correct drivers, he even tried clean installing W10 using the MCT, same error.

    The error he posted is to do with Windows so the driver are not loading with the one he tried to install

    We need to know what happens at that screen and in what time scale as loading drivers only takes a few seconds and the SSD drive should show, if it doesn't show there is a problem either with the driver or bios setting or both.
