Hi ，GraninNikita

Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for sharing your concern with us today.

I understand that you cannot recover your Windows 11 .

We are here to help on this issue.

SrtTrail.txt file error is a system error.

1.First, we can test the system repair, click advanced options, click the troubleshoot option, then click advanced options, enter the command prompt, enter sfc /scannow in the command prompt, and see if it can be repaired System and solve.

2.If repairing the system cannot be resolved, please try to click Advanced Options, click the Troubleshooting option, click Advanced Options, click Startup Settings, click the restart button, choose to disable the driver signature loading, and see if it can start successfully

3.If it doesn’t work anymore, go to Advanced Options, Troubleshooting, and Reset This Computer. There are two options, one is to keep my files, the other is to delete all the content, the suggestion is to keep my files, and there may be a choice In the case of the account, we choose the login user account name, and we click the local reinstall button.(Resetting the system can keep the files, but not the software.)

I hope the information provided is useful for you. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to our support.

    I've got exactly the same issue on an Acer Veriton system.

    When I follow the suggested steps, step one produces an error, step two doesn't change anything and step three re-installs Windows 11.

    But... as soon as Windows 11 update starts doing updates and asks for a reboot.. BANG! Same thing all over again.

    I've checked the SSD, checked it again and again, nothing seems to be wrong with it, it's purely this:

    Boot critical file c:\efi\microsoft\boot\cipolicies\active{cdd5cb55-db68-4d71-aa38-3df2b6473a52}.cip is corrupt.

    Data seems to be safe for the time being, but looking at the number of people replying to this post there seems to be a rather structural issue in Windows 11!

    It's time for you to wake up Microsoft... there's a growing number of people with useless PC's at the moment!!

    Try the below steps

    After the Computer fails to repair

    1. Start the computer in safe mode with networking
    2. Go to ms config
    3. Choose system restore and select the latest restore point, hopefully restore point is of a week earlier.
    4. You can try saving your data that was added after the restore point date, as that data will be lost after the system restore.

    I Hope this helps.

    No, sorry, that doesn't help.

    Even when using the oldest available backup (from 6 months ago) the system crashes.

    Meanwhile I've done a new Windows 11 install and got it back to work again. BUT... the s/w used on the system etc is all the same, so the problem isn't in s/w or in the system itself, the problem seems to be an older driver or anything else in the os which is causing havoc with the latest WIN11 update.

    I don't mind if it's acer or microsoft, but this should really not happen. :(
