Windows Boot stuck at loading ambakdrv.sys

Introduction:

You may encounter a problem of loading driver ambakdrv.sys when you boot the Window from the cloned disk or from a new disk on which a system or disk backup image is restored.

The problem might be because there is a conflict between ambakdrv.sys (a driver of AOMEI Backupper)and other drivers of the program.

Solution:

Please create a WinPE bootable media with third-party WinPE tool on another computer, and then boot from the WinPE media to open registry to find and delete ambakdrv.

Step 1: create the winpe bootable media and boot from the media.

Step 2: open registry(Start--run "regedit").

Step 3: find the path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{71A27CDD......2092F}

then delete "ambakdrv" value of UpperFilters.

Step 4: find the path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ambakdrv
and then delete the "ambakdrv".

If there are still any problems, please contact our AOMEI Support Team.
