PAGE FAULT IN UNPAGED AREA Windows 10 Insider Build 17017 GSOD/BSOD

After updating to Windows Insider 17017, I rebooted. Once I did, I got stuck in a GSOD/BSOD boot loop. See the loop in this video:

After some time looking around and such, I found that I needed to copy the volsnap.sys file from the Windows.old folder to the current Windows folder.

Here are the steps I took:

  • Downloaded the Windows Media Creation Tool.
  • Booted off the USB created above.
  • Went into the Recovery tools for the system and opened the command console
  • move c:\Windows\System32\drivers\volsnap.sys c:\Windows\System32\drivers\volsnap.bkp
  • copy c:\Windows.old\Windows\System32\drivers\volsnap.sys c:\Windows\System32\drivers\volsnap.sys
  • reboot

System then booted up with no problem.
