0xc0000454 on Reboot After Installing Windows 10 Creators Update on Laptop

Hello, I have an ASUS GL502VS laptop and I updated to Windows 10 Creators Update and now rebooting is broken.

Every time I reboot I get the BCD error 0xc0000454.

If I shutdown the PC and power it on there is no error.

If I disable the S.M.A.R.T. setting in the BIOS the error message does not appear on reboot anymore.

The error only occurs on reboot when the S.M.A.R.T. setting is enabled.

So is this a bug in Windows 10 Creators Update (most likely, since it didn't occur in Windows 10 before the update) or is this a bug in the BIOS for the GL502VS laptop? I have the latest 301 version BIOS installed on my laptop.

Disabling S.M.A.R.T. is not an acceptable solution.

Thanks!

Hi,

Your computer usually requires your operating system to be refreshed by performing a clean boot. To resolve your concern, you can follow the instructions on this link to perform a clean boot on Windows.

In addition, you need at least 30% of free space on your hard drive for optimum results.

Let us know if the solution above works for you.

Thank you for the suggestion. I configured "clean boot" mode but I still have the restart problem. I also ran sfc /scannow and no corrupt files were found. Still have the error on reboot.

We found out that if you disable the Smart Self test and Secure Boot in Advanced Settings of BIOS your ASUS GL502VS laptop will boot normally.

Let us know if you can now boot your PC normally.

Please re-read my original post. Disabling S.M.A.R.T. is not an acceptable solution. The bug in Windows or the BIOS that is causing this issue needs to be investigated by a developer at Microsoft and/or ASUS.

At this time, we recommend to start your computer in Safe Mode to see if your computer can boot without disabling the Smart Self test and Secure Boot in BIOS. To start your computer in Safe Mode, visit this link and look for steps under the sign-in screen.
