Winload.efi Error when trying to boot up Computer

Anonymous

As you can see in my screenshot, my Computer doesn’t start because of error 0xc00000e9 and the winload.efi driver.

I have already tried many different things from disconnecting all possible devices from my pc. To using a windows usb tool to access cmd and use things like diskpart and sfc to try to resolve things but nothing seems to help here.

I don’t know what to do now as this is my main work computer and I don’t have a backup option.

Even the frequent recovery points I’ve created over the time are no use to me as I can’t even access the option to deploy them.

    OK, nothing missing there. Possibly a hardware failure...

    Hi IAteYourCookiez,

    You have tried many solutions, and it seems that your issue may be caused by corrupted system or hardware failure.

    It is recommended to refer to the following steps for backup your files:

    1.Plug a USB drive.

    1. Go to command prompt and type notepad, press enter, just like what you have done.

    3. Click File→Open to locate the files which you want to back up.

    4. Right click the files and folders which you want to backup, click Copy.

    1. Paste them to your USB drive.

    After that, you can find instructions on how to install Windows 11 in the following article by MVP Andre: How to: Perform a Custom Installation of Windows 11 and Windows 10 - Microsoft Community 

    If the problem persists after reinstalling the system, please contact the manufacturer to check for hardware failure.

    Best Regards,
