Hello,
I am getting a blue screen error(0xc0000225) with the message windowssystem32winload.efi is missing or corrupt. I've read a lot of threads about this particular error in windows 8 but nothing fit my case perfectly so i was unsure what to do. Once the things i tried didn't work, i thought i might as well ask it here.
Situation:
I've had windows 10 for a long time now, and it worked perfectly until a couple of days ago. It started with my PC freezing for the first time in a long time that day. It was on for a long time and was running a lot of programs at that time so i thought it was understandable, waited it out and after about 5 minutes it got resolved. After about 20 minutes it froze again. This time i was in the middle of a game so i forced shut down immediately and turned it on again, pc booted just fine. The next day, when i turned my PC on, it tried to launch Automatic Repair(can't remember if that's the exact phrase) and seconds after i got the blue screen error i mentioned above for the first time. I looked it up on the internet and found a thread that mentioned a fix through disabling secure boot. After disabling secure boot, my PC managed to boot windows but it took several minutes (usually it takes less than a minute). So now, every time i turn my PC on, it takes a long time and i should mention that i started experiencing similar freezes somewhat regularly.
PC:
Asus MD70AD desktop pc, intel i7 4770(haswell) cpu, SATA3 HDD 2TB 7200RPM 3.5 Toshiba hdd, not sure what motherboard i have but it's Asus.
Note: I tried to reset the pc, open command line to try some of the fixes i read online or restoring the system, but every time the pc restarts after i select an option in the Advanced Options screen, i get the blue screen error and PC fails to boot. I didn't have a Recovery Device before so i made one but as expected the problem persists even when i boot from the recovery device. I also don't know if the freezes and the booting problem are related at all but figured it is useful information, maybe they have a common cause or something as it feels too unlikely for both to occur at the same time coincidentally.
Note: Check for updates confirms that windows is up to date and the last update was at least several days if not more before the problem occurred.
Oct 29, 2010 Will your computer not boot into Windows after installing an update on your dual-boot or Wubi Ubuntu install? Here’s how you can get your Windows boot loader back so you can easily get back to work in either OS. How to repair the EFI bootloader on a GPT HDD for Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 on your Dell PC This article provides information about how to resolve an issue with the EFI Bootloader not booting correctly on a GPT Hard Disk Drive for a number of Windows Operating Systems.
Note: I almost forgot to mention, every once in a while for probably about a year now, my pc would fail to boot, something inside would repeatedly make a noise and stop(kinda like how people do with motorcycles but slower) and eventually it would either boot or give INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error and restart. This occurred very infrequently which makes me think it's probably not related but figured i'd mention it.
Thank you all in advance for your time!
