Can't boot into Endless

Oct 16 07:18:09 localhost eos-image-boot-setup[235]: ERROR: Windows is hibernated: Operation not permitted
Oct 16 07:18:09 localhost eos-image-boot-setup[235]: Failed to map /endless/endless.img on /dev/disk/by-uuid/9EE07701E076DF49

This is not a new problem though it seems to be more rare than it once was. Can you boot to Windows, open the control panel, and check whether “fast startup” and “hibernate” are enabled? In theory, if “fast startup” is disabled (we disable it during the Endless OS installation process) then this problem shouldn’t happen, whether or not “hibernate” is enabled.

If “fast startup” is enabled, please try disabling it then booting into Endless OS.

If it’s already disabled, please follow the steps in this post: https://community.endlessos.com/t/endless-os-unavailable-after-install/2121/7?u=wjt

Can you also attach the installer log? Thanks!
