Symptoms Encountered:
- On startup: Green screen with the error code "INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE".
- The PC redirects to the "Recovery" blue screen.
- Unable to access certain applications like Chrome or Firefox after restarting.
- Windows Update displays errors:
- 0x800711c7 and 0x80246007.
Steps to Resolve the Problem
1. Disable Secure Boot in BIOS/UEFI
- Restart the PC and access the BIOS/UEFI (usually via F2, Del, or Esc during startup).
- In the Boot or Security settings, disable Secure Boot.
- Restart the PC. This temporarily bypasses boot issues.
2. Repair the EFI Bootloader with Diskpart and BCDboot
Access the Command Prompt
From the blue Recovery screen:
- Go to Advanced Options > Command Prompt.
Option A: Quick Repair of the EFI Partition
- Launch Diskpart and identify the EFI partition:
diskpart
list disk
sel disk 0 (replace 0 with your main disk number if different)
list vol- Locate the EFI partition (marked as "System", formatted as FAT32).
- Assign a temporary drive letter to the EFI partition:
sel vol X (replace X with the EFI partition number)
assign letter=Z:
exit - Rewrite the UEFI boot files:
bcdboot C:\Windows /s Z: /f UEFI- C: is the drive where Windows is installed.
- Z: is the temporary drive letter for the EFI partition.
Option B: Delete and Recreate the EFI Partition (if Option A fails)
⚠️ Warning: This method deletes the EFI partition and recreates it. It will not erase your personal data, but follow each step carefully.
- Launch Diskpart and delete the EFI partition:
diskpart
list disk
sel disk 0 (replace 0 with your main disk number)
list part
sel part X (replace X with the EFI partition number)
delete part override - Create a new EFI partition:
create part efi
format quick fs=fat32
assign letter=Z:
exit - Rewrite the boot files to the new EFI partition:
bcdboot C:\Windows /s Z: /f UEFI
3. Reactivate Secure Boot
Once the PC boots correctly:
- Return to the BIOS/UEFI.
- Enable Secure Boot.
- Ensure that UEFI mode is activated (disable Legacy/CSM).
- Restart the PC.
4. Check and Repair System Files
From Windows, open the Command Prompt as Administrator and run:
sfc /scannow
This repairs any corrupted system files.
5. Check Windows Update
- Go to Settings > Windows Update.
- Click on Check for updates and install everything available.
Conclusion
By following these steps:
- Your PC should boot correctly.
- Secure Boot can be reactivated.
- Applications like Google Chrome and Firefox will work again.
- Windows Update errors (0x800711c7, 0x80246007) will be resolved.
