Returned from 2 months away, switched on PC but Win 10 will not load & displays the message;
Your pc needs to be repaired
o/s could not be loaded because a file is missing or corrupt
file – fwpkclnt.sys
error code - 0xc00000e9
Need to use recovery tools or contact system admin.
Auto system repair doesn’t fix it. I tried booting a win 10 media disc but not sure it’s loading, it displays “preparing auto repair” but nothing happens & it just goes back to the above screen display. Not sure if it’s actually loading but the boot dvd option works & the drive is OK as my old win 7 disc loads the install files without any problems. I did get to a screen with PC reset options but neither worked, just a helpful message saying this pc cannot be reset! Incidentally a standby Win 7 o/s does boot although I get the "illegal software" message.
This is the second time Win 10 has suffered an unrecoverable crash in 4 months & last time I had to first reinstall Win 7 then upgrade using a newly created (on my laptop) win 10 media disc but it doesn’t seem to want to work this time, do they time expire? As an informed amateur I’ve been building & working with PC’s using all previous win versions for over 20 years & have never had a problem I couldn’t fix but Win 10 seems to be in a league of it’s own; flaky & less user friendly in problem situations than any previous versions except, perhaps, Millennium! On line searches didn’t really throw up anything meaningful or that I haven’t already tried. Anyone got any ideas?
Very tempted to dump windows 10 altogether & either go back to win 7, at least I can re-install that when it fatally crashes; or take my son-in-law's advice & get a MAC or android device!
