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.

Thanks and it looks like the motherboard still seeing the harddrive which is good so hopefully it is Windows with the problem, I will do some reading tonight and see if I can help you get pass this problem, unless someone can solve this problem before I can get back.
The Bios version is 312 so you have the latest and the number 2.20.0049 is the Bios Utility version, the program that you have taken the picture of, sort of confusing.
Whoops. i forgot this one too
Hi again. The BIOS version is 2.20.0049. I reverted everything back to the original settings, so VMD is enabled. I also used the drivers from that link (non-VMD)
Do you know the bios version that is installed on your laptop?
I would leave VMD enabled if that what is was before you started having this problem.
In the bios under SSD drives can you take a picture of the options please
When you installed the driver which driver did you download?
At this stage it's hard to say if your hardware is failing or Windows Update installed a driver that your system shouldn't have had installed.
Thanks. That got me a little further, but i ran into the same error 5 minutes after starting the driver installation. Even when i disable VMD, the only drive recognized is the USB drive.
I really do appreciate the help
