Glad to help!
Bsod loop on startup
Hi, i really need help. This morning i booted my pc as usual and after 5 minutes, it crashed and showed me a blue screen with the error code 0xc000021a and even tho i tried to start in safe mode, it couldn't let me (At each restart it shows me the Blue screen). I tried numerous time to reset windows to factory mode, and the Bsod was always faster than me and couldnt let the pc reset as it should.
Im desperate and i dont know what to do.

Go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Option - Startup Repair
See if Windows startup can repair itself
Go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Option - System Restore
Check to see if you have a restore point you can go back to
If you do not have a Restore Point, go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Option - Startup Settings and click Restart
Upon restart, press 5 to enter Safe Mode
Once in Safe Mode, backup your data if you do not already have a backup
Open Device Manager and check to make sure all your Drivers are up to date
Reboot to see if Windows will start Normally
If the above fails, go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Options - Reset this PC
Choose to keep your files and apps, just your files or to keep nothing
Then start the Reset

Thanks !

If you cannot access the Recovery Environment or none of the options in there are working for you, then you will need to create a bootable Windows 11 USB on another working PC and boot your PC from that, then rather than installing Windows 11, select ‘Repair this Computer’ that will give you access to the Recovery Environment from there
In the Recovery Environment on the USB, try each recovery option.
Click this link:

to download the Media Creation Tool to create the bootable USB.
Then, Boot your PC from the Installation Media you just created (change Boot Order in your BIOS)
