My sons girlfriends laptop came up with this problem yesterday...
0xc000000f: Error attempting to read the boot configuration data
She has no Windows 10 installation Disk. The web page shows prior Windows had a Utility that could be downloaded to fix this problem. Is there anything that can be done for Windows 10?
Nothing was changed on her laptop.
Follow this tutorial: How to Create Bootable USB Flash Drive to Install Windows 10 from
Then you can follow the steps from the link:
1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer. (boot from flash drive instead)
2. Choose your language settings, and then click "Next."
3. Click "Repair your computer."
Another method is to install Macrium Reflect Free on a working computer:
Macrium Software | Macrium Reflect Free
Create the Macrium rescue USB flash drive with it. Then boot her computer from the flash drive. Macrium Reflect has an excellent utility to fix Windows boot problems under the restore menu. It will fix many problems that the Windows 10 built in repair won't.
When you power on the PC if you see the windows logo quickly press the power button to shut it down. Repeat the same process 3 times and the PC will go to the recovery options where you can repair the issue.
Thanks for the help. I;ll try these one after another and see what happens. Mabe the first one will work.
