Error 0xc000007b on boot

I randomly started having problems with my pc with it telling me to repair the pc. The repair function didnt work so I followed a tutorial from Murugan S which just made it even worse.

At that time I had the screen shown in the photo

pop up. Because I didnt have the Windows CD anymore I used Mediacreationtool to make a bootable USB with which I should have been able to repair my pc. The problem is that I do not have any system Images nor restore points. I have the option to just install windows but that would delete all my files which I still very much need.

Im running Windows 11.

I would really appreciate any amount of help.

    The error 0xc000007b indicates the file is corrupt.

    Please run Startup Repair.

    Run SFC offline.

    Boot into WinRE Command Prompt and run:

    • bcdedit | find "osdevice"

    Note the OS partition's drive letter in the above output. Let's say it's D:\ drive.

    Run;

    • sfc /scannow /offbootdir=d:\ /offwindir=d:\windows /offlogfile=d:\sfcoffline.txt

    After it completes execution, open d:\sfcoffline.txt using Notepad. Take photos of the file contents and share the images here.

    Hi Joshua,

    Does the error message screen mention a driver file name?

    If possible, post a photo of the error message screen here.
