Had to reset PC, Edge stopped working, reboot gave stop code inaccessible boot device, works again

sdowney717 · May 7, 2023

It kept cycling thru the stop code, finally gave up and told it to reset PC using download option.
That process actually worked.
Only issue was 2 step authentication for sign into google, phone kept refusing to show the is this you prompt, had to choose another way using keys, THEN OF COURSE in the middle of typing in the key, the notification pooped up. I am signed into google now.

I chose to keep my data, looks like all programs need reinstall. It also got rid of the nag notice on the desktop about how the PC does not meet requirements, so a reset works for that issue. Had to do the trick when originally installing 11 on this more than capable PC.
My SATA drive is a SSD WD Blue, so did it have a problem?

Have you used any tools to analyze the health of your SSD?

looks ok, running now

Running extended test now
But I figure errors are covered up by drive software, may never show anything.

For some reason 'verify your identity' to gmail to get the code never works, gmail never gets an email, have to use phone to login for the browser. Why is that? Had to walk downstairs to retrieve phone to do this

I do get a 'security alert' email in gmail, which if I open says was this you? Click yes it is me, then it says thanks for confirming but still no sign in.
Somehow the login process is breaking down for me.

Finally got signed in using google authenticator app, it is extremely slow to get a message, minutes slow.
I was trying to sign into Bing on the Chrome Browser. I did all 3 methods, all I know is one finally worked.

When signed into Bing, I rack up reward points which I can spend at Amazon.

SSD passed the extended test

Info, I use Verizon Phone and use Verizon Fios for the internet, It is a very high speed, so the problem must be someone other than my PC regarding verify identity speed issue, either Verizon or Google. I have done it twice once to login to Edge, and once for Chrome and the process took a long long time to get the authenticator app to pop up the notification prompt. Like request it and 10 minutes later it shows on the phone. in the past this has been almost instantaneous.
