Solution 1: Disable Secure Boot
If solution 1 is not working for you, try solution 2.

Solution 2: Use DiskPart to Repair
1. Boot with the Windows installation disk, then go to Advanced Options and click Command Prompt.
2. Input these commands below, and press enter after each one
diskpart
list volume
select volume 2 (here you should choose a volume that is a system-reserved partition with "System" labeled)
assign letter=b (assign a proper drive letter that is not in use to it)
bcdboot c:\Windows /s b: /f uefi

If you encounter problems continuously after or while cloning, maybe you could turn to professional software for help.
AOMEI Backupper it’s a powerful hard drive cloning software that can help you clone without any issue.

1. Run AOMEI Backupper and come to its homepage.
2. Select clone then select disk clone.
3. Choose Windows system disk as the source drive and hit Next.
4. Select a larger HDD or SSD as a destination, and hit Next.

In AOMEI Backupper version 7.0.
The SYSTEM "Disk Clone" feature is only available in the Pro version.

Alternative to the people if the video didn't fix:

If you have the "winload.efi 0xc0000f" error or if you restarted your computer (probably with a windows update) to be stuck in the Windows Recovery Menu and can't even do a System Restore, Repair, and even you cannot use commands in the command prompt, try what I found out after several hours of research:

It seems that several Updates tend to mess up your booting drive, and changes your boot drive partition by itself, causing the computer to boot up a system which is obviously not there.

For this solution, you need to be able to use the Command Prompt.
You can reach it by pressing F8 when booting or just from the Windows 10's Recovery screen.

- Open up the Command Prompt, and type one of the following lines to find out which drive partition your W10 is installed on:

echo list volume | diskpart
or
bcdedit /enum active

- Once you figure out which Partition your system is installed on, (it is commonly C:, but in my case it was G:) move on to the next step:

To change the windows boot device (efi partition) use the following command and hit enter:
(Replace "c" at the end with the one you found out in the previous step.)

bcdedit /set {bootmgr} device partition=c:

After you hit enter you should receive the message "Operation was completed succesfully."
Then you can right away close the Prompt, restart your computer.

Afterwards, I hope you will see your lovely desktop. This was my case.
Otherwise, I wish you good luck

I don’t think ppl understand the problem is I can’t access windows automatic repair I can’t access the area where you factory reset so I can’t get to the 2nd option

I have Win11, error (winload.efi) and this is my solution in CMD (modified solution from Leo Moura - thanks):


Command 1:
“diskpart”

Command 2:
“list volume”

Command 3:
“select volume 2” (I have win installed on disk C without partition, volume 2 is hidden partition for system)

Command 4:
“assign letter V”

Command 5:
“exit”

Command 6:
“bcdboot C:\windows /s V: /f UEFI

Then reboot and in BIOS change boot disk (new "disk" V).

But I recommend reinstall windows after this, because this is emergency solution only.

I AM TRYING TO INSTALL WINDOWS 10 32-BIT FROM THE INSTALL ISO TRANSFERRED TO USB PENDRIVE. 64-BIT INSTALL WORKS. BUT 32-BIT INSTALLER SAYS \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WINLOAD.EFI MISSING.

[leomoura]

Como consegui:

Abra o CMD: todos os comandos são sem as aspas

Comando 1:
“diskpart”

Comando 2:
“list disk”

Comando 3:
“select disk X” (sendo X o número do disco onde tá o Windows)

Obs: Se seu HD tiver partição, você vai precisar dar o comando “select partition X” (sendo X a partição onde está a recuperação do sistema).

Comando 4:
“assign letter V”

Comando 5:
“exit”

Comando 6:
“bcdboot C:\windows /s V: /f UEFI

Agora, reinicie o Windows e entre na BIOS, vá em BOOT e coloque o novo disco criado como boot primário, as outras opções, se houver, pode deixar desabilitado. Reinicie o PC que deve funcionar.

Open CMD and enter the following commands:

Command 1:
“diskpart”

Command 2:
“list disk”

Command 3:
“select disk X” (being X the number of the Windows disk)

Ps: If your HD have some partition, you will need enter the command “select partition X”
Obs: Se seu HD tiver partição, você vai precisar dar o comando “select partition X” (being X the number of recovery sistem partition)

Command 4:
“assign letter V”

Command 5:
“exit”

Command 6:
“bcdboot C:\windows /s V: /f UEFI

Now, reboot the system e go to BIOS, go to boot e choose the new disk created as priority boot. Save and reboot. Thanks me later.
