AHCI is on, UEFI is off (this is an older machine, upgraded from 7).
These settings haven't changed.
I can't boot to either Safe Mode - everything goes to inaccessible boot
device.

INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE:
1. go into your BIOS and make sure the HDD is set to AHCI because if you
have it set to IDE it will crash (and conversely)
2. are you using EFI boot mode?
3. try just this - boot to safe mode only, then select reboot and Windows
should be back to normal (maybe)

I've got a laptop that started giving the dread "inaccessible boot device"
message in Windows 10.
I've had this before, and normally I boot to the recovery environment and
then:
Rename the current BCD and rebuild it with
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /rebuildbcd
But this time, I get "access denied" when I do the bootrec /fixboot - all
the other commands succeed and it rebuilds the BCD, but still no boot. So
I'm convinced it's the fixboot part that isn't working. However, I can't
find any links in Google that would point in in the right direction.
Any ideas?
