Verify if a ransomware attack has occurred This identifier is the one with the path \windows\system32\winload.efi.įor Generation 1 VM: bcdedit /store :\boot\bcd /set bootstatuspolicy IgnoreAllFailures Write down the identifier of the Windows Boot loader. This identifier is the one with the path \windows\system32\winload.exe.īcdedit /store :EFI\Microsoft\boot\bcd /enum If this command errors out due to \boot\bcd not being found, then go to the following mitigation.

Open up an elevated CMD and run CHKDSK on that disks. activeįix the missing reference in the BCD store If the partition isn't active, now change the Active flag and then recheck the change was done properly. In our example, Partition 1 is not active. list partitionĬheck the status of the partition. In the image below, this partition is Partition 1.

List the disks on the system and look for added disks and proceed to select the new disk. Open an elevated command prompt and open the DISKPART tool. Verify the OS partition which holds the BCD store for the disk is marked as active. Generation 2 VMs (using UEFI) does not use an active partition This mitigation applies only for Generation 1 VMs.
