Inaccessible Boot Device error in Windows 10

Kin,

Agreed, I just restarted one of the computers and the same thing happened :(   Resorting to backup's and restoring. 

I guess the best thing to do is if you try it, disable internet, disable windows updates in system processes.  Backup your files while your system is up if you haven't yet.  Could also make an image at the time, then test it later in VM re-enabling windows updates to find a fix or workaround?  Not sure what else can be done other than reinstalling after it fails.

I believe this needs to be addressed by Microsoft if it continues in the future. 

Rollup Fix Patches seem to be an issue.

I'll keep following

More computers are crashing in my office. It may be related to the act of restarting versus shutting down and powering back on. I know that sounds strange, but computers that ran fine all week, shutting down every night, have been crashing after a restart.

Also, I got the dism remove packages trick to work, but windows reinstalled the roll-up fix immediately after restart, even though quality updates are deferred for 30 days. It subsequently crashed on the next restart. This is turning into my worst nightmare.

WIN 10 BSOD FIX - Inaccessible Boot Device - THIS WORKS!  I Just Repaired 2 computers that went down at the same time last night on 1/16/18

Good Afternoon Bobby,

Here is the fix I came across from another kind IT tech, please see below.  Credits go to them, I'm just forwarding so everyone can finally get their computers back up and running.

Boot Windows 10

Go to Repair

Go to Tools/Options to get a command prompt.

Confirm the drive letter for the Windows image. Usually D: –> dir d:

Run the following to view the installed packages which will also show a date of install.

Dism /Image:D:\ /Get-Packages

Find the package(s) that were just installed by date. Run the following command on the last installed package:

example: dism.exe /image:d:\ /remove-package /packagename:Package_for_KB4014329~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.1.0

Reboot.

The patch that caused my issue was from 1/6/18 or 1/10/18     Remove the latest windows update entry with Rollup Fix in it's name.  Once complete, close command prompt, turn off computer.  Power back up.  You should be back into WIN10.

If you still receive BSOD, rinse and repeat with the next latest update, try it again.  You'll eventually boot right back into WIN10.

I hope this helps.

Have a great day.

Yes this worked, but when windows updates ran again the BSOD came back.

It worked for me but when I booted into windows it did the configuring update message right away and when it logged in it was missing half of my hard drives. When I rebooted it was back like before and the updates aren't now showing in packages so I can't remove them
