Cumulative Update for October-INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE

$

The issue arises if the delta and the full cumulative update for October (KB4041691 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4041691) was installed same time. Those was released last week and if you configured your internal WSUS to automatically approve you will see this issue -> https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4049094/windows-devices-may-fail-to-boot-after-installing-october-10-version-o

After installing this update you probably broke your machine with stop code: INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE

let's calm down 🙂 from my experience we could fix all instances with below procedure and do not attempt to run "automatic repair" in that case

Let's boot into 'Troubleshooting' and open our lovely good old command prompt

 

Microsoft Support advises to get rid of the SessionsPending reg key. Let's load the software registry hive:

reg load hklmtemp c:windowssystem32configsoftware

Delete the SessionsPending registry key (if exists):

reg delete "HKLMtempMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionComponent Based ServicingSessionsPending"/v Exclusive

Unload the software registry hive:

reg unload HKLMtemp

now lets pullout with DISM.exe the list of installed packages

Checkout the ones which are state "Install Pending" as one of those was causing the issues

We need to create first a temporary directory where we can move the updates to

MKDIR C:temppackages

Now we can remove the "pending" package with the DISM command

dism /image:c: /remove-package /packagename:PACKAGEIDENTITYNAME /scratchdir:c:temppackages

Reboot your VM and it will reboot again and you can run Windows update afterwards as the faulty update was already corrected
