Has anyone run into problems with workstations not booting properly following the latest Windows 11 updates? I'm noticing this issue more frequently with a variety of devices, and sometimes they require an ESD or another fix. Would love to hear if others are facing this as well.

One of my colleagues is using a Lenovo 21ME001EUS, and it keeps showing a "something went wrong, the laptop will restart" error. Now it won’t boot into Windows at all. Anyone have any advice on this?
I have a Lenovo Yoga 7 that just did the same thing! It showed a message about needing to restart with a stop code for INACCESSIBLE BOOT_DEVICE (0x7B) and then said it couldn’t be repaired. It’s super frustrating. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Yeah, these recent updates have been a nightmare! I usually don’t see many issues, but lately I’ve had to swap out a couple of laptops and fix several others that are acting up in strange ways after the updates.
I walked into the office to find nearly 100 tickets related to laptops that wouldn’t boot up. They all show a spinning Windows circle but then go to a black screen, eventually asking for a BitLocker key. I’m seeing this on HP and Lenovo machines. Have you got any solutions?
Not sure if this will help everyone, but we've had success booting into safe mode with networking, logging in as an admin, and running DISM restore health commands. So far, it’s worked for four out of four tries on random machines. If you're dealing with a lot of failures, it might be a different problem though.
