Your PC/Device needs to be repaired with Error code: 0xc0000605
Today I had an error code 0xc0000605 at startup. I cannot boot into my computer. It says:
Recovery
Your PC/Device needs to be repaired.
A component of your operating system has expired.
File: windowssystem32winload.efi Error Code: 0xc0000605
You'll need to use recovery tools. If you don't have any installation
media (like a disc or a USB device), contact your PC administrator or
PC/Device manufacturer.
Press the Windows key for UEFI Firmware Settings.
I have a Surface Pro 2. I upgraded from Windows 8.1. What should I do? I have a working Mac and a 4GB USB I can use if needed.

I had this on 10162. After reading several posts on dates it occurred to me:
- I backdated the BIOS to think it was July, and it started fine. Then I updated Windows over the net.
Hope it works for you.

The error 0xC0000605 means:
//
// MessageId: STATUS_IMAGE_CERT_EXPIRED
//
// MessageText:
//
// Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. The signing certificate for this file has expired.
//
#define STATUS_IMAGE_CERT_EXPIRED ((NTSTATUS)0xC0000605L)
So a .cat file is corrupted.
Boot into the Recovery Options (via DVD), open the cmd and try to run sfc and DISM to repair corrupted .cat files:
sfc /SCANNOW /OFFBOOTDIR=c: /OFFWINDIR=c:windows
Replace C: with the drive letter where you installed Windows.
DISM /image:C: /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth
