    Hi Steve, I recently experienced this, wondering if it's an issue with the recent big MS update. I have a lot of volumes in my PC and it seems they got renamed.

    Using diskpart in the recovery console let me change the drive assignments around, which fixed a broken boot (the windows "recovery attempt" renames the drives back to the wrong letters every time though):
