Downloaded HDDScan and did the Short Test and Surface Read Test. No errors on either. Seems like the SSD is good. Now that I have the drive pulled, I am going to try a virus scan as well. Will let you know results.

I can access the entire SSD - I have attached via USB cable to another Win10 computer.

 

I tried the virus scan (Windows Defender), found SoftwareBundler:Win32/Mizenota which I removed. It was located in the recycling bin on the main partition.

 

Tried rebooting, no change.

Ran CHKDSK, found no errors. Ran the other command and got same error - "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation". I did both from command line run as administrator.

 

Time to try the other set of commands?

SMART report showed drive to be ok.

 

Tried copying backup registry files to config folder, attempted to boot, no success. Same error. I did note that there were differences in file sized between backup and original files you suggested replacing...

 

Next step?
