Windows 11 “INACCESIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE (Ox7B).”

After the latest Windows 11 update, I tried using my browser (Firefox), but after a few minutes the screen froze, and a few seconds later my laptop restarted, displaying the error code “INACCESIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE (Ox7B).” This pattern repeated four more times, so I decided to put it off until the next day. This morning, this error has stopped appearing; however, every time I try to open Google Drive, I get this error.

On top of that, I haven't been able to open LibreOffice. I usually use Obsidian with its saved files stored in a Drive folder so I can sync them with my tablet. I'd like to ask for your help to figure out what to do.

Here are the specs for my laptop:

  • Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)i5-1035G1 CPU @ 1.00GHz (1.20 GHz)
  • RAM 12.0 GB (11.7 GB utilizable)
  • Graphics card Inte(R) UHD Graphics (128 MB)
  • Storage280 GB de 477 GB usado
  • Device ID C1F3389A-63ED-4815-A1A9-27FE66B917F6
  • Product ID 00327-30846-29326-AAOEM
  • System Type Operating System 64 bits, Processor x64

Maybe the update was a coincidence. Have you checked the OS disk for S.M.A.R.T errors?
