Hello,

I have an Acer one 10 running Windows 10. However, after a reset, every time I restart, the PC goes to a blue screen telling me that a system file "aswRvrt.sys" is missing. I am unable to access the desktop. I have browsed a lot of forums and tried everything I found but to no avail. The options offered when I press F8 always bring me back to the same blue screen.
If anyone has a solution, I would be infinitely grateful.

Best regards.

Hello,

It’s the Avast! driver that’s causing Windows to crash on startup.
If you can’t access the recovery options, you can try booting your computer from the Malekal Live CD.
See here: https://www.malekal.com/malekal-live-cd-reparer-depanner-pc-windows/

Once you're on it, rename all the .sys files that start with asw from the Windows > system32 > Drivers folder.
Restart and hope that it works.

Otherwise, you will need to reinstall Windows.

The message displays the following:

"Recovery

Your computer/device needs to be repaired.

The operating system failed to load because a critical system driver is missing or contains errors.

File: \Windows\system32\drivers\aswRvrt.sys
Error code: 0xc000007b

You need to use recovery tools. If you do not have any installation media (such as a disk or USB device), contact your system administrator or the manufacturer of your computer/device.

Press the Windows key to access UEFI firmware settings"

What does that mean?
What’s going on?

Are you able to access the boot menu to select the USB drive?
Did you create the USB drive with Rufus, and did you set it to GPT?

Yes yes I followed the tutorial to the letter but no matter what I do I keep coming back to the blue screen.

Is it formatted in FAT32?
You need to manage to boot the computer from it
or put the drive on another computer to rename this aswRvrt.sys

or do you have a Windows boot USB drive?

Yes, it is formatted in FAT32, but I can't get the PC to boot from it via the BIOS... How do I put the drive on another computer? The ACER ONE 10 is actually a tablet with a keyboard, I don't know if I can dismantle it...

If it's a tablet, forget about the hard drive.
