Inaccessible boot device after latest insider update this morning (build 21364)

Nothing works in the recovery mode as it cannot back out the update, cannot repair. 

One of the update is kb5003399 and I forgot the other one, will have to boot back to the command prompt.

In the command prompt, I can tell it's not showing my 1TB drive, it's in x:/ with very little space.

Also, wusa.exe doesn't exist in that command prompt. 

Can anyone help to get my system booting again?

    Same for me. I had just changed my thermal paste on my cpu, so when this update came, at first I thought I did something wrong with my hardware, because my bios was also reset and could not boot anymore. This is unacceptable from Microsoft. We are power users, but imagine the mess for the normal persons it is when they see this issue and don't know what to do. I only hope this has not damaged my hardware in any way.

    Hi i just installed that particular driver update that you mention, and it caused my pc to bsod on boot with the "boot drive inaccessible" code.

    I've regained access through some recovery mode and bios tinkering. But i would very much like to be able to remove it, which seems impossible.

    I had to disable rezisable bar in the bios in order to retain csm mode.

    It seemed to work. But definately a wonky workaround

    You shouldn't be reoffered this driver now.

    Had this same issue Gigabyte X570. Fixed after doing a boot repair.

    Wake up this morning and PC is completely BRICKED. No power whatsoever.

    Now please tell me who is responsible for this colossal f*** up?? Why would you push out a driver update and force it upon normal users? Who's smooth brain decision was this?

    I'm now left with a $4000 brick. I'm beyond furious. You guys are pathetic.
