The usage of BCDBOOT has been one of many good things to me since I had to use the nuclear option, yet I found it lately useful for another issue, called ASF2 Force Off. Was it the hardware or the software, or a little of both.
Just consider the following and entertain me with your findings:
bcdboot c:\windows /s c: /f UEFI
bcdboot c:\windows /p
I cannot tell you more about why, yet here it is.
The variables were:
Dell Latitude laptops with RAID storage controller enable, not AHCI
BitLocker Suspended
BIOS Password Turned Off
I sense Microsoft Windows is trying to get the hardware to agree
with it's changes and something in the Dell BIOS disagrees. Basically,
it means, during the upgrade their hardware and software dating relationship changed and one or the other needs
to either fix their relationship or refresh it, or replace it.
It could be something a colleague shared and said to check the AMT. I was like what? AMT? Yep. Just look at it. [update] AMT ended up being a dead end.
Alternative ending, remove the international fonts from the system partition to free up the EFI partition with enough disk space to make the leap from 100MB/260MB to 500MB/1000MB for 7 to 10, 10 to 11, etc. refer to mountvol y: /s then backup and del y:\efi\microsoft\boot\fonts\*.* then mountvol y: /d and you will see ~13MB of freed up disk space in the system partition needed to make the leap from 10 to 11 on a small EFI system partition. maybe?
more to come...
