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

dism /image:C: /get-packages

Checkout the ones which are state "Install Pending" as one of those was causing the issues (highly like the last entries in your list)

before we can remove them we need to create a temporary directory first to where we can move the updates to

MKDIR C:temppackages

Now let's (re)move the "pending" package(s) with the DISM command

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

be focused on the output of the command and if it completes successfully

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