This update (2018-JAN-17) has been superceded -- to answer your question, this update has not been "updated" ("corrected" ? "re-released" ?) by Microsoft.  Instead, it has been "superceded".

All,

I've had this issue arise on 6 HP desktops since mid January! All have been sucessfully corrected following these steps:

1. Before starting, make sure you have the “Windows 10 Fall Creators Update” on a flash drive or DVD. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO
2. Restart the effected PC several times until you get to the “Automatic Repair” screen.
3. Choose “Advanced Options”
4. Choose “Troubleshoot”
5. Choose “Advanced Options”
6. Choose “Command Prompt”
7. Change the drive letter to 😧
8. Type the following: Dism /Image:D:\ /Get-Packages
9. Find the package(s) that were just installed by date
10. Run the following command on the last installed package:
    example: dism.exe /image:d:\ /remove-package /packagename:Package_for_KB4014329~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.1.0
11. Type Exit
12. Choose Shutdown.
13. If you still receive BSOD, repeat the steps above and delete the next latest update, try it again.  You'll eventually boot right back into WIN10.
14. Once Windows 10 boots up login as the Administrator and run the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update from your flash drive or DVD
15. If prompted to check for updates choose OK
16. Choose “Upgrade this PC now”
17. Insure there’s check marks next to “Install Windows” and “Keep personal files and apps”
18. Once done login as the User
19. If this is a Domain PC you may receive an error upon login about Trust Relationships. Simply login to the local machine as the Admin, remove from the Domain, restart, add back to Domain, restart, then login as the User.

This is really painful but it works every time. It will cost you 2-3 hours of your life!

Thank you eruokonen, I have restored one of the machines to an earlier date to be able to access Windows, and I am downloading the Windows ISO, I test and I keep you informed if it worked for me!

Yes, This is the fix for INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE related to after a Windows Update! There are other fixes to INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE that are related to chkdsk due to improper shutdown and bootrec commands to repair BCD.

This cripples the crap related to:

Package_for_RollupFix~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~16299.192.1.9

Package_for_RollupFix~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~16299.214.1.17

Package_for_RollupFix~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~16299.248.1.17

Related to Windows Updates causing INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE FIX (AFTER DISM /Image:c:\ /remove-package /packagename:Package_for_RollupFix~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~16299.192.1.9

It is tiny (25KB) when you run it, it gives no indication that anything happened. Just know that it injected the registry with the following and possibly more information.

Here is the content it changed on one of my computers after it was run.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]

"FeatureSettingsOverride"=dword:00000001

"FeatureSettingsOverrideMask"=dword:00000001

"041f1d33-a86a-4d7a-a2da-cf4b265131f9"=dword:00000000

The INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE was also caused by these

Package_for_RollupFix~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~16299.214.1.17

Package_for_RollupFix~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~16299.248.1.17

You can DISM those off as an attempt too.

BSOD /BCD STOP 0XC0000098 can be fixed with this choice:

diskpart

select disk 0

list partition

Then note the partition number where you installed Windows 10. Look for the biggest partition if you dont know.

select partition 5 (5 was the partition number where my Windows was installed)

active (you may get an error about mbr, ignore it)

exit

bcdboot C:\windows

reboot

You may still have to choose Continue Windows if you are dumped back into the recovery

None of this is recommended by Microsoft for Security purposes
All of it is recommended by MILE Technologies (us) for functionality and business continuity.

Hello, just so you know, the eruokonen solution works great!

restart your machine on Windows (system recovery or uninstallation of the last updated by the dism command in the terminal) and then install Windows with the latest version (which you can find here: https://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/software-download/windows10)

Thank you, thank you!
