In place windows 11 upgrade results in a BSOD after the first restart.

Tried that already. Perhaps the update process is installing incompatible storage controller drivers. My Windows drive is on a nvme ssd. I use the standard NVM Express Controller drivers for these drives. If I try to update these storage controller drivers in Device Manager Phison drivers are installed. These drivers mess up my system. I don't remember if they give me a BSOD when I boot. I know I can specify not to update drivers during a windows update but after an upgrade this might be enabled again and as a result download the Phison drivers.

As mentioned, when I manage to bypass the BSOD my upgrade is reverted back to the version I previously had so it's impossible to see anything on the upgraded system as it no longer exists.

Disable Fast Startup: Fast Startup can sometimes interfere with boot processes. Disable it by navigating to Control Panel > Power Options > Choose what the power buttons do > Change settings that are currently unavailable > Uncheck "Turn on fast startup."

Perform a Disk Check: Run chkdsk /f /r on the system partition to ensure there are no hidden issues with the file system.

Consider a Repair from Safe Mode and/or with internet disconnected: Boot into Safe Mode and attempt the in-place upgrade repair from there. This can sometimes bypass driver or service conflicts. Additionally, to prevent the NVMe controller driver from automatically getting replaced with the Phison driver, disconnect internet.

Analyze Setup Logs: After the failed repair, check the setup logs located in C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther (e.g., setuperr.log and setupact.log). These logs can provide insights into what caused the BSOD.

Fast startup is already disabled. Already did a chkdsk /f /r with no errors found. BTW, I installed the Phison drivers again and I have no problems with them, go figure. Will give the remaining two suggestions a try shortly. Also keep in mind that a clean install works flawlessly but I don't want to reinstall everything.

Well, I finally got the repair install to work. I think my problem boiled down to two things.

1. It appears using the Phison controller drivers enabled me to boot.

2. I had to set my BIOS to the Intel defaults..This mode is Intel's response to the problems with the 13900k and 14900k CPU's. Unfortunately this turns my system into a far less powerful machine. Guess I'll play around with the BIOS again. Now to see if my other little problems are fixed by the repair install.

Thanks to all who have me advice.

Another thing I just realized is that when I set my BIOS to the Intel defaults it also turned on Fast Boot. Could Fast Boot have bypassed loading some stuff that was causing my BSOD?

Possibly? But shouldn’t.

If you’re going to make BIOS changes. Change something, save and reboot to check, for each thing you change. For elimination purposes.

Click to expand...
Yes, enabling Fast Boot in UEFI settings could potentially contribute to a BSOD with the error code INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE during an in-place upgrade or repair of Windows 11 24H2, especially if the operating system is installed on a NVMe SSD. Here's why:
  1. Fast Boot skips certain initializations: When Fast Boot is enabled, the system bypasses some hardware initialization processes, including those related to storage devices. This can lead to issues if the NVMe SSD requires specific drivers or configurations to be properly recognized during the boot process.
  2. Driver or boot configuration mismatch: During an in-place upgrade or repair, Windows may update or modify boot-related files and drivers. If the NVMe SSD's driver or configuration is not fully initialized due to Fast Boot, the system might fail to access the boot device, triggering the BSOD.
  3. Changes in Boot Configuration Data (BCD): An in-place upgrade often updates the BCD. If Fast Boot interferes with the proper detection of the NVMe SSD, the updated BCD might point to an inaccessible or improperly initialized boot device.
To avoid this issue, you can temporarily disable Fast Boot in the UEFI settings before attempting the repair or upgrade. This ensures that all hardware components, including the NVMe SSD, are fully initialized during the boot process. Once the upgrade or repair is complete, you can re-enable Fast Boot if desired.

what happens when you boot to safe mode. does it boot to desktop or you get BSOD? you can disable all your third party drivers easily with Autoruns

I've been trying to do an in place upgrade of my Windows 11 system to see if it will fix some issues I am having. I have tried the 'old' in place upgrade using a 24H2 ISO and also tried the newer Settings/System/Recovery Fix problems using Windows Update /Reinstall feature.

The upgrade goes fine in both cases but when the system reboots to Windows it gets a BSOD INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. It appears the upgrade has mucked around with my boot device so that it can't be found. My boot device is setup properly in my BIOS and I've had no problems of this sort other than doing this repair install. When I reboot again things go into revert back to previous version mode to what I had before. So this isn't your run of the mill boot device problem. As I said the install must have made my boot drive inaccessible in some way. After I'm back to my previous version it boots just fine. Also restoring a disk image I took prior to the repair install boots fine. So it must be the install playing games on me. Maybe it's downloading some incorrect disk controller drivers. I boot from a NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4 SSD.

Any thoughts on this?

BTW... I did a clean install with no problems. I didn't stay with this as I have way to many things to reinstall and don't have the time or where with all to do it.

I have the same problem. I have not been able to resolve it. In-place updates fail the first time with inaccessible device, then succeeds the second time after the roll-back. Tried many things, nothing worked.
