Thank you. Another file which could be a problem is amdkmdag.sys which si not loaded and I could not find a way how to remove it from starting always and use Microsoft Basic Display Adapter driver as starter.
Windows 10 Pro cannot boot after converting MBR to GPT
- Thread starter DzigiBau
- Start date
I'm not sure if the GPU-driver is causing this issue, it's more likely an issue with the GUI and/or explorer which cannot be fully loaded. And the error shown by SFC may have to do with with an registry corruption and/or key which points to a wrond servicing stack version.
Thanks for sharing the SOFTWARE hive and as expected it was corrupt, I was not able to load it into the registry or an off-line registry editor. I've sent the repaired hive in a private messsage.
1 So please rename the current SOFTWARE hive to SOFTWARE.bad
2.Copy the 'repaired' SOFTWARE hive which I've sent to X:\Windows\System32\Config
3.Let's hope the system boots up normally?
I did that, rebooted and the same old black screen.
Please boot into RE (Recovery Environment) and run the System File Checker again to see if it still show the 'Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation' message.
I will, using this command: Sfc /ScanNow /OffBootDir=I:\ /OffWinDir=I:\Windows where I:\ is disk/partition where my Windows 10 is installed. It it correct command and I can put addition for creation of log file?
Yes this command should be correct when I:\ is the system drive to check!
Code:
sfc /scannow /OFFBOOTDIR=d:\ /OFFWINDIR=d:\windows /OFFLOGFILE=d:\SFCLog.txtDone. The error was the same for SFC: Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation. I am attaching sfc.log and I made dism also, here is log.
Are you able to load the SOFTWARE hive into the Recovery Environment using the following command.
Code:
reg loaad HKLM\SOFTWARE-TEST X:\Windows\System32\Config\SOFTWAREI did not, there is an error in command syntax. Could you type me exact command, where I:\ is disk of my Windows 10 and please tell mi what is this TEST for.
Oops the double 'aa' could be the issue.
Code:
reg load HKLM\SOFTWARE-TEST X:\Windows\System32\Config\SOFTWAREI did that and it was successful (changed letter X with my letter I for Windows path). Tried reboot Windows 10 and still black screen with moving cursor.
Please provide a copy of the config folder with all the HIVE files. Provide also the NTUSER.dat file from C:\Users\Default and C:\Users<Username>.

Thanks, I've send a new copy with the repaired hives, please replace them in C:\Windows\System32\Config and post the result after the restart.
Thank you @Maxstar. I did that and result is the same, black screen with moving cursor. I did not experiment or tried anything else, because I want to follow your instructions, otherwise we could be on square one.
It seems that every time the system cannot boot correctly and shut down normally, the hives became corrupted again! For now I don't know what's happening here, and I'm out of ideas?! You can check the current hive files with Registry Explorer as explained in this thread.
I will try, it seems that explorer does not start and probably because of GPU driver. What i tried is to check registry settings for explorer start with boot and everything seems all right. Maybe this behavior is related to conversion MBR to GPT somehow. Could you try to find references to amdkmdag.sys in registry and delete them and send me that hive to try. I do not have offline registry editor which I can use, it is little bit messy in presenting hives.
I don't think that's a reliable way to resolve things and may cause other issues, and it seems that after each boot, the hive files become corrupted again. So therefore I don't think removing keys - related to AMD entry's - from the hive files might help to resolve this issue.
You can use Registry Explorer as offline registry editor as pointed out in the thread I've send to load the hive files on another system. The weird thing is, your issue is exactly the same as in this thread with the same pattern of corruptions. And almost the same configuration with a Windows 10 / 11 drive.
I read thread you suggested, but I did not overclocked or touched anything with RAM memory. It is 3200, no overclocking or else, used them out of box without any tweaks. Weird situation completely. Something is corrupting hive files every time. Funny thing, Windows 11 on my dual boot system booted correctly, I had to reinstall GPU drivers only, since it took some older versions. On my Windows 10, it never booted at all. I created both EFI partitions, easy job, but could not start Windows 10, although it seems like it started, I can see it on network when I use my laptop and I can brows shared folders on Windows 10 machine. My thought, explorer does not start since GPU driver creates this situation. I cannot boot it in safe mode also, by F8, the same situation black screen with moving cursor. Is there anything more I could try?
