I recently updated my GPU drivers after a long time to 21.4.1 (whatever the latest is). I was having some instability issues and decided to just revert back to an older version I had and worry about updating later. I ran DDU (choosing the clean and restart option) and let it do its thing. After it finished, my PC restarted, and upon attempting to boot back into windows it blue screened stating boot device inaccessible. I've tried restarting several times but I am not getting anything and my best guess is that somehow DDU corrupted something that's not allowing me to boot into windows?

 

What's my best course of action here? I was just going to start with refreshing windows using the option that saves personal files, but idk if this is an issue anyone else has run into before and there might be an easier fix. Currently I cannot get into windows as it always freezes on the windows logo and goes into automatic system repair. 

 

Edit: I do know DDU usually creates a system restore point of some kind? I am not sure if this would be the easiest way to recover windows.

 

Edit 2: I've tried using the system restore feature from both points available and both failed.

 

Specs:

3600x

5700xt
