Win 10 boot fail: BSOD error 0xc000000e winload.efi not found

I ran the clean up utility but the folder windows.old as well as windows10Upgrade are there

Delete them from Safe Mode.

Also delete that second entry from Msconfig and boot your computer into Windows Recovery Environment and execute below commands.



Reboot your system.

How is everything progressing?

You'd laugh. I've been unable to delete windows.old, even from safe mode.  I'm changing the permissions now.

The good news is that the advice you have given me allowed me to fix the boot process (again) and it's booting up fine.

You are truly amazing.

Thank you!



How to Add “Take Ownership” to the Right-Click Menu in Windows Explorer

yes, finally
it seems all is now OK.  msconfig now shows correctly even after reboot.

I have no idea what could force it to hold onto the old windows like that.

In any case, once again, many, many thanks.  Your knowledge and patience are so very rare.

Thank you and you are very welcome!

Hello,

I found this forum after many hours of trying to figure out the boot up error I have been receiving for months.

I am running out of options but I have seen a successful clearance of this issue and would like to end the misery for myself.


when I boot up daily I get the blue error 0xc000000e when I try to hit either of F1 F8 or any other option it generally attempts the screen flickers and It doesn't work, if I try the power on/off x3 it will boot up or if I try it twice login to the BIOS and exit it will restart and boot up but I cannot figure out what I need to do..

please can someone help me.

thank you

Rob
