Many users in Windows 10\/11 claimed this issue as the screen of the error has stuck the computer and made it inaccessible. This BSOD error usually appears when the system cannot find any BCD files or if it is corrupt. This may occur due to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Power failures or disk write errors; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Infection of malware in the boot sector; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manual BCD configuration incorrectly; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hardware defects; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Windows update; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Driver or an application fails in digital signature verification. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, it will work properly if only the PC restarts, while with serious error types, it might get severe, and a computer cannot start the boot, then you would need troubleshooting. In this article on <a href=\"https:\/\/outbyte.com\/\">Outbyte<\/a> we will give you a detailed guide how to fix the error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/shutterstock_535087114.webp\" alt=\"error code 0xc0000225\" class=\"wp-image-13235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/shutterstock_535087114.webp 500w, https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/shutterstock_535087114-300x200.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Fix_Error_Code_0xc0000225\"><\/span>How to Fix Error Code 0xc0000225<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"First_Step\"><\/span>First Step<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Create a Windows 10\/11 installation disk to run repair tools.
