Windows 11 total meltdown

MarshallwarnerAnother one, I had to go into UEFI and disable "above 4G MIMO," due to it being incompatible with Windows 11 based on my firmware revision (which is why I suggested this bootloader setting, it may have changed without you knowing either.) If you reformat and reinstall, you get a new bootloader. There are easier ways to do this though...

"However, Windows https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/devtest/bcdedit--set#memory-related-settings when the computer is configured for hot-add memory devices in memory ranges beyond the 4 GB region, as defined by the Static Resource Affinity Table (SRAT). Hot-add memory supports memory devices that you can add without rebooting or turning off the computer."

Of course if your bootloader is corrupted, you can refresh it using this command, but there is a warning that comes with this. It automatically deletes any customizations or other entries (you would have to change the volume letter for the 100MB FAT32 partition reserved for EFI to the letter S via diskpart or another MMC Snap-in, "Disk Management" basically.)

bcdboot C:\Windows /s S: /f UEFI

Commands like this obviously allow you to view any entries and edit them manually...

bcdedit /v
bcdedit /enum
bcdedit /enum {current}
