The bootrec /FixBoot Access is denied error mostly occurs while fixing boot related issues inside Command Prompt. It is related to the Boot Manager. There are some other causes for this issue too, but it usually revolves around the notion of Disk Partitioning. In this guide, we will be taking a look at troubleshooting this error on Windows 10.
This error usually appears when you are already having a problem on your computer and you are performing some of the basic recovery steps you found suggested in your specific scenario. However, when you want to fix some of the boot settings handled by the Boot Manager via the “bootrec /fixboot” command in Command Prompt, you receive the Access is Denied message.
There are quite a few things which may cause this problem and you will need to adapt to the situation and try out the methods best suitable to your situation. If you are having boot issues, this command may be the most helpful and it’s hard to replace it.
Fixboot access denied errors in Windows 10 are a real pain. They usually come after you see a blue screen with ‘INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE’ as the message. In the majority of cases this can be fixed but it does take time and a little work. This tutorial is going to walk you through fixing ‘Fixboot access is denied’ errors in Windows 10.
Oftentimes you will see ‘INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE’ after a failed upgrade to Windows 10, a failed major Windows Update or if you had to force power off your computer instead of shutting it down gracefully. If Windows was writing to the disk while you shut down it can corrupt files, giving you that message.
One way of fixing ‘INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE’ errors is by using the command ‘bootrec /fixboot’. If this doesn’t work, it in turn will give you ‘access is denied’ errors. While the error looks serious and your computer will not boot into Windows, none of these errors are terminal. This is a software error and not a hardware error. The worst case scenario is that we will have to reinstall Windows.
