Boot Loop code 0xc000007B Windows 10

kiteman · 09 Dec 2018

Just the other day I went down to my computer and it was stuck on a screen saying there was a problem with the code 0xc000007B. I restarted and went tried to fix start up repair many times to no avail, and also to advance options. I've tried in the cmd prompt checkdisk as well as /fixboot (access denied, i think because i have uefi), and then there was another suggestion on replacing your registry with default values or something, but during that method i didn't have any default registry files to use during the override.

I'm stuck, not sure what to do. Says there is an srttrail.txt file but not sure how i'm suppose to access it if i can't boot into windows. safe mode also doesn't work. after spending several hours the above methods are all i can find anymore during a google search, so i'm not sure where to go from here without help. oh also i tried booting from windows 10 usb file to repair from there and that never worked either. thanks for any help.

ps i read a lot of times this error code is in part to a newly installed program, but i haven't installed anything new in some time on my pc.
