Windows 10 Error Code 0xc000000f Can't use my keyboard though.

Question

I'm receiving the error code 0xc000000f on my computer and it gives me the options.

Press Enter to try again

PressF1 to enter Recovery Environment

Press f8 for Startup settings

Press Esc for UEFI Firmware Settings

Press F9 to use a different operating system

But the kicker is my keyboard won't even work since this message starting coming up so I can't click anything so it just eventually shut's itself off. Am I stuck in a never ending loop with no way out? And it isn't the keyboards fault because I tried multiple keyboards in multiple USB inputs. Help.

Hi Brett, try entering the Windows Recovery Environment and see if your Keyboard works there . . .

Start your PC, just as Windows attempts to load (spinning dots), press and hold Power Button for 5 - 10 seconds to perform a Hard Shut Down

Do this twice

On the third start Windows will boot into the Recovery Environment and from there you can access System Repair, Safe Mode, Command Prompt . . . etc.

Please try each option one at a time, then see of Windows will boot . . .

Go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Option - Startup Repair

See if Windows startup can repair itself

Go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Option - System Restore

Check to see if you have a restore point you can go back to

If you do not have a Restore Point, go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Option - Startup Settings and click Restart

Upon restart, press 4 to enter Safe Mode

Once in Safe Mode, backup your data if you do not already have a backup

Open Device Manager and check to make sure all your Drivers are up to date

Reboot to see if Windows will start Normally
