Can anyone else replicate this? I appear to be able to break EFI based Windows 10 Build 10130 VM's running on Hyper V very easily.

 

If you go to Settings > Time and Language > Date and time then turn off "Set time automatically"

Now try to change the date / time using the button below, windows will crash.

On reboot the blue screen error will state:

 

"Your PC/Device needs to be repaired

A component of the operating system has expired

File \windows\system32\winload.efi
Error code: 0xc0000605
"

This is on an EFI based Virtual Machine running under Hyper V, Windows 8.1 Pro is the host OS.

I've submitted feedback on this issue anyway.

OK, so here's the thing. I have a dual boot setup on my Desktop PC (Windows 10 build 10130 + Windows 8.1), and I faced a similar bug yesterday. In my case, I reckon it was triggered after moving my disk drives to a different SATA3 controller on my motherboard. Here's a photo (sorry for the bad quality):

So, what do you think? Are these similar enough?

@InsaneNutter: I don't think yours is a bug. Winload just thinks your preview evaluation is expired due to the time.

@jackaluichi: Your error code indicates that winload could not be found where it was expected. You might be able to fix it by bringing up the EFI boot menu on your board at POST and selecting the drive you wanted it to boot from. (Also check and make sure your settings are trying EFI before looking for MBR.)

Yeah, I already tried all of that. I forgot to mention I'd already sorted out, but I had to wipe out my entire SSD because no matter what I tried, it was impossible to bring back the modern blue dual boot screen.

I did think that, however i never actually altered the date, so it was still the 25/06/15.

A similar issue happens between EFI and non-EFI operating systems on a non-EFI computer - I have the problem where OS X and Windows have their system clocks differ by five hours, despite identical settings as far as time management.

 

Both Windows and OS X have settings for NTP servers - however, OS X uses only ntp.apple.com, while the settings for Windows is changeable by the user (while the default is time.windows.com - and has been since XP - this can be changed to any of several optional LISTED NTP servers, or users can add their own; I use time.nist.gov, which is in the default NTP list in Windows 10).

 

As a result, I have to correct-on-the-fly the time in Windows if I run OS X for an extended period.  It's not difficult; however, it IS a pain in the rear to do.

    • I'm so conflicted with the Google Search AI summaries. On one hand I don't like how it's harming smaller websites by greatly reducing traffic which will harm us all in the long run but on the other hand those AI summaries often give me the information I'm after. I have never once clicked on 'show me more' though and never will.
    • Not a single company as small or large it may be is obligated to subsidize its products and sell them at a loss. Your way of thinking is socialist and as a West German with a German brother state but impoverished by state dictatorship and a socialist command economy situated to the East i can tell you - this kind of thinking very quickly leads to products not being produced anymore at all.
    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 by Hamid Ganji The iPhone Fold is one of the most anticipated tech products expected to debut this fall. It will be Apple’s first foldable iPhone, ushering in a new product category for the company. While the first generation has yet to hit the shelves, a new leak suggests Apple has already begun work on its successor. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claims that the second-generation iPhone Fold has already been confirmed, meaning Apple could launch a successor in fall 2027. The foldable iPhone is also reportedly referred to as the “iPhone Ultra,” though it remains unclear whether Apple will ultimately choose that branding, especially as Samsung is rumored to rename the Galaxy Z Fold 8 as the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra this year. The leaker also claims that the second-generation foldable will feature a wider folding display while reusing the same screen found in the first generation. Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to feature a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.3-inch outer screen in a passport-style form factor. It has already been reported that Apple plans to change its iPhone release cycle in 2026 to spread launches throughout the year. Under this strategy, the iPhone Fold is expected to debut this fall alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The standard iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 are expected to arrive later in 2026 or in early 2027. Speaking of the iPhone Air, Digital Chat Station says Apple remains undecided about a third-generation model. The company is reportedly waiting to see how the iPhone Air 2 performs in the market, and if sales disappoint, a successor may never materialize. As we reported this week, the iPhone Air has not been scrapped from Apple’s plans. The second-generation model is reportedly scheduled for spring 2027 and could introduce upgrades such as an additional rear camera for ultrawide photography and improved battery life.
    • ahh yes the good old your opinion differs from mine so you are therefore insane lol destiny 1 had no agenda pushing and was a massive success of a game, if you clearly look online the team for some reason thought they had too many men on the team and went on a woman and dei recruitment drive and we all know how destiny 2 performed from then on in
    • The limited imaginations and business acumen of non-dominant players is simply that: the abject lack of creative business acumen. Businesses often want to operate in a financially-rewarding marketplace (free market economics) and/or exit/cash-out at maximal financial recompense. Money is their incentive; regulations are both their obstacles and their tools; politics is their means of influencing the marketplace. Google, in this story's example, is crying that AWS and Azure are "too dominant" -- cuz Google Cloud is not printing as much money as Alphabet wants (although it is still dramatically more than they actually need). The EU DMA should truly follow-the-money and treat the EU as its own sovereign nation in order to protect European market players: Domestic entities are exempt from market-influence regulations until absolute monopoly is achieved; Foreign (non-EU/non-Euro) entities are all regulated via stricter DMA measures whereby regulated partnership with independent domestic entity becomes the only way for foreign entities to 'tip the scale' for favorable financial remunerations. Basically create a dual-track aligning with China's foreign investment models. In my eyes, this is the only way to properly protect the European marketplace beyond the current dot-com/ai-bubble/social-media crazes.
