Help! My Windows 11 Won't Boot and Shows a Repair Screen
Asked by
TechGuru007
I'm having a major issue with my computer. Whenever I try to boot it up, I keep getting a blue screen that says my device needs repairing, pointing to the file WINDOWSsystem32winload.efi, and the error code is 0xc000000f. I'm running Windows 11 on an Aorus motherboard. I attempted to create an installation media on a USB drive to boot from, but my computer doesn't seem to recognize it and just prompts me to select a boot device and restart. I've also tried using secure boot, but it leads me right back to the same error screen. I'm really stuck here – any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Also, if you can somehow get into Windows or Safe Mode, check the C:WindowsMinidump folder for any crash logs. These dump files can really help diagnose what’s going wrong. If you find any, zip them up and upload them to a file-sharing site. Just be cautious with your data and make sure to back things up if you're poking around!

It sounds like a tough situation! First, make sure you’re actually selecting the USB drive during boot-up. Try pressing the F12 key multiple times when your PC starts to bring up the boot menu, and choose the USB drive from there. Just plugging it in won’t work, you need to select it manually. Let me know if that helps!
