Error code: 0xc0000225

Question

Hello, I've recently stumbled upon an error. It all started while doing a disk checkup. After the checkup, it crashed, and showed this particularly error:

Error code: 0xc0000225

And this one too: (After a few tries to restart)

Error code 0xc0000098

File: pci.sys

And I tried the following stuff:

Trying all the combinations:

"Press enter to try again" - just shows the same thing.

"Press F1 to enter Recovery Environment" - Just restarts the system.

"Press F8 for startup settings" - works but nothing in the menu works so far. (Safe mode doesn't work)

"Press esc for UEFI firmware settings" - works.

What I tried:

Creating a bootable USB with the media creation tool for Windows 11.

Problem: The system doesn't let me boot from it.

I entered the BIOS, and even while changing the order and saving changes, it still goes to the same way it was. ( Maybe because it is corrupted)

Everything worked fine before this.

Thanks for the useful articles. Unfortunately I can't operate them, since I can't boot from my USB to get into the media creation tool and repair it. Also I can't use the command prompt. Could you help me out,please?
