Some Windows not starting errors can be easily fixed

- Wrongly deleted the EFI or ESP boot partition of Windows
- Transfer Windows to another hard drive not properly
- Install Windows using WinNTSetup software faulty
- Error related to BCD, Winload.efi or Winload.exe
Introducing EaseUS Partition Master
Partiton Master currently available at Anhdv Boot is very powerful partition management software. In addition to basic features such as: Delete, create, resize partitions, convert between GPT and MBR, check hard drive status; Recent new versions of this software have added Tookit with the following features:
- Password Reset: remove Windows password
- Boot Repair: Fix problems related to Windows boot error, edit EFI menu, BCD menu.
- Rebuild MBR: Rebuild the hard drive’s MBR.
Fix windows not starting error with EaseUS Partition Master
To illustrate this article, I will intentionally delete the EFI partition of my computer.
Boot into Anhdv Boot’s WinPE and run the Partition Master software right on the screen. Select Toolkit > Boot Repair as shown above.
If your computer has multiple Windows installed, choose the correct version you need to fix the error. As shown above, the computer has 2 Windows installed: Windows 11 (drive C) and Windows 10 (Partition 5). Select Boot Repair > Microsoft Windows 11 > Repair.
Wait until there is a success message as shown above. Check again and Partition Master automatically recreates the EFI partition
After trying to restart, the computer will enter Windows 11 normally. If your computer only uses 1 window, this is it. If your computer has multiple Windows installed like mine or needs to correct errors related to BCD, you can do the following.
How to edit BCD Menu or restore multiple Windows selections
In the next part, I will guide you on how to handle machines with multiple Windows installed or if you want to fix errors that cannot boot related to BCD, winload.efi or winload.exe. To restore the menu to select 2 lost Windows versions, reboot into WinPE and use Partition Master.
The Windows selection menu is located in the BCD file on the EFI partition (hidden). To show the EFI partition, click the A icon in the taskbar (item 1) and select Show All Partition (item 2). Run Partition Master software > Toolkit > Boot Repair > BCD Menu.
To edit the current menu, click on it. If you need to create more menus for Windows 10, choose Create
Find the EFI partition (about 100 MB) leading to the EFI\Microsoft\Boot folder and select the BCD file as shown above.
In the image above, there are important parts as follows:
- Item 1: name of the boot menu (mine is Windows 10)
- Section 2: Boot partition (choose the correct hard drive if there are multiple drives – in the picture it is HD0) then select the partition containing Windows (mine is Windows 10 – GPT5 26.12 GB).
Click Save to save and get the following results:
So, above I show you how to edit the boot menu
