Defining the bootrec fixboot issue

The bootrec fixboot is an important Microsoft tool that enables the RE to boot your computer when the system fails to boot normally. 

But when the fixboot access is denied, a problem occurs even though this tool is not able to boot your computer.

What is the root cause of the bootrec fixboot issue?

Some important steps to solve the bootrec issue from the troubleshoot menu

So coming down to the most important part of the article here we will mention for you the entire process to solve the fixboot access denied in detail. 

It’s time to buckle up…

• You got to shut down your computer and start it over again. 
• When the Windows logo appears press onto the power button and hold it for a while. Due to this, your machine will restart all over again. 
• Don’t be concerned, keep repeating the process until you see the screen of ‘automatic repair’. Here you will find the ‘advanced options’ so click on that.
• The ‘choose an option’ window opens up within which you got to click on the ‘troubleshoot’ option. 
• When the ‘troubleshoot’ page opens you need to click on the ‘advanced options’ button. 
• In the ‘advanced options’ screen click on the ‘command prompt’ window.

From here on the things get complicated and the main steps to fix the bootrec/fixboot access is denied. 

• Type the commands ‘diskpart’ and ‘listdisk’ one after another and allow them to execute. 
• Now you got to execute the commands as given above again but this time with the hard drive number on it. 
• Now you will have to enter the ‘system reserved’ option after running the ‘diskpart’ and ‘listdisk’ options. 
• The next important step is to create a partition in the new drive. For this, you got to type the command ‘Assign letter=V’.  allow the system to execute and run the command and then you will see a message which is something like this-

              ‘Diskpart has been successfully assigned with the drive letter’.  

If you haven’t followed all the steps right till now your task of resolving the bootrec/fixboot access is denied. The issue is almost done. But there are a few minor steps that are to be done before the job is done completely. 

• On the command prompt option type ‘diskpart’ and then type exit and press enter. 
• This time you got to run the V:\. This is because a separate diskpart command has been successfully assigned to your hard disk. 
• The most important command has to be run now so type the command given below-

             ‘bcdboot C:\windows /s V: /f UEFI’. 

• When this is done close the command prompt window right away. Go back to the troubleshooting page and you should be able to see an option called the ‘continue’ option.
• Click on the continue option and Windows 10 should open normally.
