Windows can't boot error 0xC000021A

Napert · Aug 11, 2019

Just joined here
Windows 10 Pro 64bit 10.0.18945.1001
I'm having problems booting into Windows 10
When I try to boot normally or in safe mode I get a green screen with an error code 0xC000021A
I can however boot into the recovery environment, and I do have a Windows installation USB, but Windows startup repair can't do anything about my problem (SrtTrail.txt)
I've already tried running sfc and dism, but to no avail (note: the drive the Windows is installed on is G:\ and the installation media is on J:\)
sfc /scannow /offbootdir=g:\ /offwindir=g:\windows (sfc_log.txt)

Code:

X:\Sources>sfc /scannow /offbootdir=G:\ /offwindir=G:\Windows /offlogfile=J:\logfiles\sfc_log.txt

Beginning system scan.  This process will take some time.


Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.

dism /image:g:\ /cleanup-image /reatorehealth /source:j:\sources\install.wim (dism_log.txt)

The WOF driver encountered a corruption in the compressed file's Resource Table.

The DISM log file can be found at J:\logfiles\dism_log.txt

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong thread or if I missed something or if I did something wrong
I'll attach the logs from the commands and startup repair in a few minutes

Hi!

Based on the errors, I'm suspecting a HDD failure, please test it:

Hard Drive (HDD) Diagnostics (Sea Tools for DOS) & SSD Test

Just did the long generic test on the SSD with the SeaTools Bootable and it passed it
edit: forgot to mention that the windows is installed on a 120GB Corsair Force MP500

I have now noticed that you are using a Windows Insider Build. Unfortunately, this is the likely cause as all Insider Builds are essentially beta software released out to people to test them. You may have encountered a bug, so please report it in the MS Feedback hub:

https://insider.windows.com/en-us/fb/

As for the fix, please revert back to 1903.

but it was working just fine yesterday and it didn't update to the newest insider build
but today i'm turning it on and see the above mentioned green screen, so it's very unlikely that an update broke something so i can't boot anymore

Sysnative Windows Update · Aug 11, 2019

Please report it in the hub and see what happens. I'll see if I can get my hands on an iso, but like I said, this can happen with the Insider Builds. Do you have an earlier backup you could restore to?

Napert · Aug 11, 2019

enabled restore points, didn't create any restore point, don't know how to create a system backup image, so no system images to restore to

Sysnative Windows Update · Aug 20, 2019

Any word from the people at the hub yet? Have you managed to reinstall OS back to the latest build as I'd initially recommended?
