Error code 0xc000021a occurs when the system is unable to start or there’s a failure in critical system processes. Normally, it would take about several seconds for the system to boot and while on the startup process, error code 0xc000021a may take place to block the system to boot up.

There are several reasons why error code 0xc000021a occurs. It is important to have a full understanding of what caused the blue screen of death before attempting to fix the error by yourself. See below for a few common causes:
• Computer malware has infiltrated your device.
• Important files such as Winlogon.exe and Csrss.exe are damaged. Winlogon.exe file is responsible for handling the login and logout processes while Csrss.exe is a vital part of Microsoft Client or Server ‘Runtime Server Subsystem’. Once one of these files is damaged or deleted, a stop error will occur.
• When there are mismatched system files installed or system upgrading process failed or still incomplete.
• Premature unloading of Wbemprox.dll
• Newly installed third-party software is not compatible with the operating system.
• There are corrupted, outdated, or incorrectly configured device drivers.
• There’s insufficient space in the system partition. Once the system partition is full, certain errors such as error code 0xc000021a will manifest.
• Windows registry is corrupted or damaged due to a software or system change. This means there are registry entries that are not cleared after uninstalling an application.
