I cannot boot my machine. the drive is encrypted. It will not boot, even in safe mode. It black screens while windows is loading and says that windows could not be started because a driver required to start the system is missing or corrupt.
dlkmdldr.sys

I tried the option to skip driver signing and it makes no difference.

Why is it required? It does not seem to me that a display link driver should be required to start any computer. Especially one with two built in graphics adapters.

I cannot edit any files, I can't do anything because the drive is encrypted. So the windows repair tools do not even see a partition.

How can this be fixed?

Thanks,

The 'Woof
