Windows 10: Bad image error, nothing working

Taskmgr.exe - bad Image__C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\d3d12.dll__Error status 0xc000012f.

The problem started with the restart after installing updates - Cumulative update for windows 10 and Itunes for windows.


After the restart first change I noticed was that at login page I could no longer enter 6 digit pin with auto login, I had to put password for my account. Till login page everything works fine and normal; as soon as I log in, the dots stop rotating and the screen freezes. On putting combination ctrl+alt+del, the screen works fine until I go to task manager and the black screen appears with the error message "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\d3d12.dll is either not designed too run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0xc000012f."

Also, at time when I click on task manager the taskbar keeps flickering. I cant open anything.


I have tried to open troubleshooting, safe mode, reset pc and other options but it only returns a black screen. In case of reset pc it simply restarts and same things happen. When I try to run in safe mode, it restarts with black screen with no login nothing, just black.


Not able to do anything cant access registy editor, can't uninstall updates, cant replace dll dll files. I have searched as much as i could but no one had the same issues.


Please help ASAP
