My Win 10 PC has refused to boot after receiving the latest updates. I keep having to roll back, otherwise it will noy even boot into Windows desktop.

The Win diagnstics say: INACCESSIBLE BOOT DRIVE

Definitely not hardware prob coz if I roll back Windows, it will boot to desktop just fine.

I can't even do my work on this PC. Help..!!

There is a possible chance that the hdd is dying. You might want to check its health to eliminate the possibilities of a dying drive. icon_idea.gif

Experiencing a somewhat similar problem. When I leave my laptop idle for about 15 minutes, it reboots, and shows the error "No bootable device-insert boot disk and press any key". When I restart it, it boots up fine. Already checked the ssd health, seems to be no issues.

Gonna do a clean install tonight, see how it goes...

No, the Transcend SSD boot drive is less than a year old.

Besides.... this crap only happens when Windows 10 installs the latest update. Whenever I roll it back, no problem.... but stupid Windows auto updates even after I totally disable auto updating. Once I unhooked the wifi antenna for a month so that Win 10 physically couldn't update.... it was fabulous for a whole month right up till I reattached the wifi again.

Hi ZZR,

I agree with Horns that a Clean Install is one of the best solutions to resolve your issue.

Good Luck!!!
