BOOTREC /REBUILDBCD The System Cannot Find the Path Specified or Element Not Found in Windows 10/11

On this video, I will show you an exclusive method in how to fix BOOTREC REBUILDBCD or FIXBOOT failure with this error message: “The System Cannot Find the Path Specified.” or "Bootrec RebuildBCD the Requested System Device Cannot be Found".
This message may appear if you are trying to fix boot loop or startup failure after cloning the disk or after a system failure in both GPT and MBR systems. But in MBR system, the error message is different as following:
“Element not Found when executing BOOTREC /REBUILDBCD, or Access denied when executing BOOTREC /FIXBOOT command.

Also if you are trying to rebuild BCD file using BCDBOOT C:\WINDOWS command, you will see this error message: “Failure When Attempting to Copy Boot Files.”
All of those errors indicate that the System or EFI partition is not configured properly or is not present at all.

When executing BCDEDIT command, you will see this error message: “The Boot Configuration Data Store Could Not be Opened.” Followed by: “The requested System Device Cannot be Found” instead of showing the Boot Configuration Data.
