windowswindows 10windows-10-upgrade

Today I had an error code 0xc0000605 at startup. I cannot boot into my computer. It says:

Recovery

Your PC/Device needs to be repaired. 

A component of your operating system has expired. 

File: \windows\system32\winload.efi Error Code: 0xc0000605

You'll need to use recovery tools. If you don't have any installation 
media (like a disc or a USB device), contact your PC administrator or
PC/Device manufacturer. 

Press the Windows key for UEFI Firmware Settings.

I have a Surface Pro 2. I upgraded from Windows 8.1. What should I do? I have a working Mac and a 4GB USB I can use if needed.

I had this on 10162. After reading several posts on dates it occurred to me:

I backdated the BIOS to think it was July, and it started fine. Then I updated Windows over the net.

Hope it works for you.

To start...

For this you will need some form of recovery media, which means you'll need to use another Windows 7 PC to create it. Follow the instructions at SevenForums to do that.

The repair

Rebuild the BCD. Boot into the recovery media, and select Command Prompt. Type

bootrec /rebuildbcd

and hit enter.

Reboot

If the above didn't fix the error, you may have to set your Windows partition to Active. Reboot back into the recovery media, and from the command line, type

diskpart
select disk 1
list part

You'll then have to determine which partition should be your active partition, and then set it to active:

select partition x
active
quit

Replace X with the correct partition number.

Reboot

If that still hasn't fixed the issue, you'll have to restore the MBR. This is a bit more complex.

Reboot back into the recovery disk, and select command prompt.

Now we're going to have to determine the drive letter your recovery disk is on:

diskpart
select disk 0
list volume

Search for the item that has CD-ROM in the Type column and make note of the value in the LTR column - this is the drive letter.

exit

Simply type the drive letter like so, and hit enter:

D:

Then type:

cd boot
dir

You should see a bootsect.exe file listed. If you don't: STOP, go and get a Windows Installation Disk and try again. Otherwise...

Type

bootsect /nt60 SYS /mbr

and hit Enter.

Once you see Bootcode was successfully updated on all targeted volumes, type exit and then reboot your computer.

Hopefully then your issue will be fixed.

Please note you follow these instructions at your own risk, and I assume you have a basic knowledge of Command Prompt. If you're unsure, please ask a professional.

Windows 10 : your pc couldnt start properly

Try this :

Press and hold F2 key(depend on your PC), then power on the machine. You will be directed to BIOS.
Look for Security tab inside bios and navigate to Secure Boot. Then Disable it.

Now go to Advanced → System Configuration Hit Enter key in System Configuration

Change Boot Mode in to CSM Mode.

Whenever you change Boot Mode from EUFI to CSM mode, another option will come just above the boot mode, SATA Controller Mode. Hit Enter key in SATA Controller Mode and make it Compatibility mode.

Save settings and Exit by hitting F10 key…

That’s all, you are able to boot from DVD drive, and obliviously you can repair your Windows 8 PC with disk.
