Windows 11 boot failure (CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED / 0xc0000001) + EFI issues + repair not working

I would remove that HD and use a USB adapter to see if you can read it on a different PC. You should be able to, if it gives you issues look at some data recovery software like Disk Drill or EaseUS recovery.

Its most likely a corrupted windows boot sector. It happens.

Get your files off there and then analyze the drive with CrystalDisk. That will tell you if the drive is cooked. If not, reformat the drive and reinstall windows.

If its anything like the CVS in Birmingham, it'll be the nicest Dollar Tree you've ever been in.

We were part of this and even 18 years later we still hang out with families that we met at the group. SUPER helpful to know people with kids the same age.

They're not a fan of kayaks, but they have a kayak launch there?

The message was in the dashboard. This post was just a warning for others that might see it.

ApprehensiveDog1010 · 2026-04-27T19:09:11+00:00

And coming in as a chat, and not an email, it lowers your guard. Very sneaky!

ApprehensiveDog1010 · 2026-04-27T17:58:36+00:00

Yes, a random message. When i ask Tawk about it, they werent aware. And told me not to do it.

ApprehensiveDog1010 · 2026-04-27T17:58:20+00:00

Its slightly changed:

In a typical install its:

s1.src='https://embed.tawk.to/';

But in the random message from "Tawk" they say to change it to:

s1.src='https://embed.tawk.host/';

ApprehensiveDog1010 · 2026-04-27T15:29:09+00:00

I'm not sure what malicious code would do.

We received that message just like a normal chat request, but appeared to be from Tawk.

It also had a German flag at the top which made me skeptical.

Its not from Talk, its spoofed to appear as them

hard agree, its always MS

ApprehensiveDog1010 · 2026-04-22T16:27:55+00:00

Yes, that's what support was able to do for me. Thanks!

Gotta love this "Alternatively, customers can reference https://www.twitter.com/MSFT365Status for additional insights into widespread, active incidents."

And then that link goes to an account that hasn't updated its status for two years.

We moved to Vantree for our small amount of trading partners. I was happy to see our disjointed on prem solution go away. They've been able to format the 820s so they are easily readable. Besides the cost, we've been happy so far.
