Error code: 0xc0000225 how do i fix this
Hello all. I
I am in great need of help because i tried to fix my atlas os drive. It could not connect to the wifi and if i connected to it it would disconnect after making it impossible for me to do anything. So i booted into my main drive and i connected to the internet fine. Then what i did is i downloaded macroit partition expert and then i proceed to wipe the drive clean and delete the data then restart my pc. Everything worked fine then i wanted atlas os back because it made my pc faster. then i went through the process and as soon as i restart my pc again after making the unallocated space a drive and committing changes. I am met with a screen that reads as follows
Recovery
Your Pc/Device needs to be repaired
error code: 0xc0000225
You’ll need to use recovery tools. If you dont have any installation media (like a disc or usb device) contact your PC administrator or Pc/Device manufacturer.
And then there are options below that read as follows
Press enter to try again
Press F1 to enter recovery environment
Press F8 for startup settings
Press ESC for UEFI Firmware settings
Press F9 to use a different operating system
Those are all the options i am met with. Also f1 just brings me to the same screen. Pressing F8 makes my screen flicker black for a second. Pressing esc takes me to uefi firmware where i really cant do much. Pressing f9 takes me a to a black screen that doesnt give me many options.
I do not have a usb or disc and i do not know what to do, please help me.
I am running on a desktop pc
rtx 3090
Ryzen 7 5800x
32gb ram
1 tb hdd
Windows for home | Windows 10 | Windows update
