I am getting an error code 0xc000021a with a blue screen.

Error Code 0xc000021a: As I power it up I get the usual Toshiba logo on the screen and after some time it comes up with a pale blue screen and a message saying something went wrong and we will need to restart your computer for you with an error code 0xc000021a.

If I leave it switched on, this situation repeats its self continuously. I have taken the battery out and tried again but the problem is still same. How to get rid of this error?

Error code 0xc000021a occurs mostly due to 2 main reasons which are:-

• Exe: This file can be damaged due to mismatch of System Files. 3^rd party software can also damage this file. If this file gets damaged, then this error causes the PC to boot to the Windows Login.
• Exe: This file belongs to Microsoft server or client. So the result is error code if it is damaged.

However, there are many methods to sort out this issue, you can try any of the following methods.
