The Drive Where Windows Is Installed Is Locked

dditty

Hello,

I have been stuck trying to boot back into Windows after pushing my last overclock a bit. I can get into the bios and everything seems to be set to defaults there, but when I attempt to boot windows it sends me automatic recovery and says the drive where windows is installed is locked. I have tried following these directions  with no luck. Step 9 failed with the last command (bcdboot c:Windows /s z:) had an error that said BFSVS Error: Could not open the BCD template store. Status = [c000000f] I also tried these steps and the ssd with my windows installation is still locked.

I opened Notepad in the command prompt and did file -> open and saw my three drives there and they seem like all the data is still there. I have a 2TB data hard drive and two ssds. I don't have any windows installation media on either a disk or a flash drive. Can't reset my pc, startup repair doesn't do anything, and I can't load any system restore points because it says I need to select an operating system.

In the bios I set it my boot order to have windows boot manager first (how it was before) and then my ssd boot drive second. I tried switching it to the ssd first and it wouldn't load anything, it just says Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key. My PCs specs can be seen here. Windows is installed on the Samsung 950 Pro M.2.
