BSOD with ROM Layout mismatch detected
[FILES - I cannot access dump files, but I can provide cmd on bsod phone captures.. I can't get past bsod boot]
My info's:
Windows10 version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.2486)
on PC-basedx64 (not amd), MSI GS63VR laptop
Main problem/question:
ROM Layout mismatch detected (F3 diagnostics)
= could anyone please guide me how to solve it without losing files (or else with back-up-work-around in the BSOD..)
My story (what happened, what I've already tried for fix):
I was installing the Windows updates because I could not get the Visual C & .NET to work for 1 (one only) app
(NB: other apps fine, and I delayed updating for as long as I could.. to my knowledge, all was actually up to date for Visual C..)
I tried cmd for disabling updates *because they didn't fix anything, manual package install for NET v6 also solved nothing...
I restarted after I was sure that cmd finished running lines - voila, I got the BSOD; critical_service_failed error code (the only exception when code changes to 0xc000021a is F8/9 boot option without driver signature enforcement - but I'm still stuck on bsod)
I've done all the 'obvious' Win start/boot options, I'm stuck on blue screen and so no way to access logs or diagnostics
(I've tried nearly everything except reset = safe mode, rolling updates back 1 month prior to recovery point, disabling drivers F8 boot option, checking / creating restore for BCD, running DISM & checking directories - all drivers fine ie C: D: E: X:)
Also I can see all files / apps seem intact (drive D & C - I see it when running directories in cmd)
+ F3 leads me to:
ROM image failed / unable to update image
= ROM Layout mismatch detected
(flash update option did nothing.. Load optimal defaults also nothing...)
My MSI laptop has reset hole/button underneath (bios?), but I'm not sure how and when to operate it (what would it do to the files? I cannot risk erasing - I have a few recent documents I must access + unsaved log/apps eg bookmarks, software access, etc)
I'm happy to provide more info's (phone pics of bsod screen), just please tell me what to check / show.. I've spent 2nd day searching forums trying to find a case like mine (I don't see one)
