  • How to Fix Windows 10 Error 0xc000021a
    This is a common BSOD error which occurs when WinLogon or (CSRSS) Client Server Runtime Subsystem are causing a BSOD or it could be Winlogon or CSRSS are corrupted. You can also get this error from a corrupt or failed Windows update. This error code 0xc000021a can also point towards Malware. The error will cause can continuous boot loop. I will show you things you can try to fix the error 0xc000021a.
    The 0xC000021A error can occur if Winlogon.exe or Csrss.exe stops working. This happens if:
    * Corrupt operating system files.
    * There was a failed Windows upgrade.
    * Corrupt Windows Update
    * Incomplete installation of a software program.
    * Malware
    I hope these resolve your error.
    1. First, try a system restore.
    2. chk disk /f /r
    3. sfc /scannow
    4. dism/online/cleanup-image/restorehealth
    5. dism /image:C:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions
    6. Disable Driver Signature Enforcement
    7. Try booting to safemode with networking
    8. Roll computer back to a previous version of Windows
    9. Restore files from RegBack folder ( I have made video on how to do this)
    10. When all else fails try Reset your PC

    I can't tell you how grateful I am that you took the time and effort to make this video for the general public, without expecting anything in return :) i had resigned myself to losing my data and resetting my PC, but i found this video, and thought you seemed very friendly and very knowledgeable so i gave all your suggestions a try. it actually was literally the final one that worked for me and fixed the problem - disabling driver signature enforcement. i just wanted to say i'm really appreciative that people like you make the effort to help people you'll never meet - that's the way the world should work, us helping one another out. my sincere gratitude to you my friend.

    Thanks Bri, I have used this successfully on a number of occasions. Sadly I have also found that it doesn’t work the majority of time for me, although I appreciate that’s not your fault 😂😂. Just as a matter of fact, I have been fixing PCs for many years and have found Windows 10 to be the most unstable operating system I have ever worked with. The sheer amount of bsod faults that come to me following a Windows update is staggering. Microsoft in my opinion, seem to have lost the plot and I can’t understand why there haven’t been masses of class action lawsuits. How many people globally have woke up one morning to find their machine has updated and broken in the process. It’s mind boggling how like others have said, we are still seeing this in 2020. I also use an iMac and although Apple are also having their issues, my 2011 iMac has run for nearly 10 years without a single crash. If I could I would ditch Windows altogether.

    Thank you. Actually I didn't do it with what you showed but still. For the people who can't start automatic repair do this.
    1) Get empty usb and download windows 10 media creation tool on another PC.
    2) It will take a while to download but when you are ready take the usb and put it in the PC that makes the problem.
    3) Start the PC and press F2 or whatever button you need to press to get to the BIOS.
    4) Go to boot options and and choose to boot from your USB. In my case I had 2 usb options for the same usb. The normal usb and uefi and I chose the uefi one.
    5) You will see purple screan and a button next. Press the button and then don't press install but look down left and you must see repair this PC.
    6) When you press it you will be send to the automatic repair. Press troubleshooting.
    7) Now for me at least it had different options. I pressed the fist one "start-up repair" I think it was called.
    8) Finally just wait. It said over an hour but I personally waited around 1 minute.

    I saw that my machine was running ONLY ON 256MB OF RAM. I honestly don't know what was the cause of the problem.. but back to fixing the issue.. I pressed WIN + R to open RUN. Then typed msconfig and changed the maximum of my memory to 8GB. (This is the maximum I can have)
    This fixed my problem.

So I wasted the whole morning tryign to fix it so I wil just say this, make sure it's not saying "volume is system reserved", chose the second one like D even if you actually have D volume you use, and the importantly type /image:d:\ instead of c, and sure enough it worked after waiting for some 15 seconds, that's how you know something is going on!

    Well, after you go through all of this and find yourself still up a creek without a paddle, and then you find the tutorial for the 3 Bootrec commands whereby the 3rd one fails (Bootrec /Fixboot "Access Denied"), try this: at the command prompt where Windows is installed (in my case C)
    type at the c:\bootsect /nt60 all
    note the space between bootsect and the forward slash and the space before the word "all". Once you type the command bootsect /nt60 all , hit the Enter key, reboot and walla..you should be back in windows. The NT60 is for PCs after Windows Vista thus this command will work on Windows 7, 8 and Windows 10 not Vista or XP, use NT52 instead of NT60

    ^and then after it says it needs to restart, it does so once or twice and at the very end, all of a sudden, BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!!!!!!! :( :( :( :( :(
    ^ Now it won't start at all, and first I get the code 0xc000021a, "you're device ran into a problem, we'll collect some data and restart it for you", then recycles again, and it's twin blue bro hoks a loogi code at me "0xc0000225", give me 4 options like it's doing me a favor:
    1. "Press enter to try/be disappointed again"
    2. "F1 to enter Recovery/I mean nothing Mode" just flashes and returns same screen)
    3. "F8 for startup settings" (which if I already touched "F1", does nothing, just flashes,
    but if I hit F8 first, it brings me to a page with choices, all of which do NOTHING!
    ^I select #4SAFE MODE, but all it does is start the whole problem over from the begining again. ALL 9 do the exact same thing, including "with networking and with Command Prompt" = ZERO DIFFERENCE
    4. "PRESS ESC for UEFI Firmeware settings", which leads to "TOSHIBA SETUP UTILITY"
    ^which does not seem to have any options that would help

    The first fix (revertpendingactions) worked, and I was able to get things back to normal. However, I left for a few hours and, when I returned, my computer had shut down.
    When I turned it on, I got the same error (Stop Code 0xc000021a). This time, when I tried the revertpendingactions method, I got Error ox800f082f. I've seen others had this problem as well.
    I went through the rest of the options, without an obvious solution, but when I restarted it was okay.
    During the night, it again shut down. When I restarted this morning, it worked.
    Is there anything I should do to solidify this repair? Would it help (or hurt) to force a windows update (my log shows it auto updated 3 weeks ago).
