Windows 10: BSOD WINLOGON_FATAL_ERROR c000021a

I have a 2012 R2 DC server running on ESXI that all of a sudden is rebooting after 5min of being online. I've run sfc /scannow and DISM repairs. Stay online in safe mode with networking but normal mode continually reboots. Not seeing anything obvious in Event viewer either. Any assistance would be appreciated.Here's a pastebin of the dump analysis: https://pastebin.com/Nd61kRuR

BSOD WINLOGON_FATAL_ERROR (c000021a)

I got a bsod a few days ago on startup while loading windows and had to do a system restore in order to be able to use my computer again.

I thought it was due to some network settings I messed with because the PC would boot into safe mode fine, but if I tried to boot into safe mode with networking it would BSOD again.

The first BSOD I got the error code was 0xc000021a

Today I got a BSOD again. I have no idea why. I did the same thing, performed a system restore and things were working again.

The only common thing I did before either BSODs happened was installing C++ redistributable 2022. Both times it was part of the installation of games.

Could someone look at the minidump files and help me figure out what is causing this/suggest next steps?

i uploaded a .zip containing 2 .dmp files here - minidump.zip

one is dated a few days ago so presumably the last bsod. The other is from just now.

Please help me ��

edit: i should add that windows explorer is buggy lately and needs frequent restarts. it becomes unresponsive or doesn't refresh after moving or renaming files, and sometimes when restarting it goes into an infinite loop of crashing and restarting and i need to ctrl alt delete to sign out and sign back in

analyzed the latest dump with windbg and it shows: 6: kd> !analyze -v************************************************************ - Pastebin.com

edit 2: after applying windows update 2022-12 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 21H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5021233) the bsod happened again. I'm pretty confident this update is causing the bsod. I found a page on reddit discussing the issue here - Redirecting and it seems a lot of people are having the same error.

edit 3 SOLUTION: this fix worked for me Windows 10, version 22H2

with the exception that the drive windows was on was on D: instead of C: for some reason so i had to replace the command with that. Run `dir <driveletter>:\` until you find the correct one

 

Random BSOD while browsing internet


BitDefender is nothing special. mwac.sys causes BSODs anywhere.
A tiny documentation can be found here: Solved Random BSODs - Windows 10 Forums
In that very thread, the suggested action apparently worked.

The storage and network filters of any third party antivirus can cause BSODs. Neither MBAM nor BitDefender is any special. For a regular antivirus, it may be shifted to an alternative; but MBAM has no alternative. So a clean install of the said program is the most feasible first step.
As far as the first step is not failing, it is better to not think for the second step. Because the BSODs are not universal, failure at the first step is not universal; and success at the second step is also not universal.
That is why I posted that my suggestion may work, or may not. Let us see where it goes.

 

7 different BSoD

Hey guys,

I have a serious problem. I make it as short as possible:

• system runs 100 % fine with the 10.12
• updatet to Catalyst 11.1 -> BSoD
• updatet to 11.1 Hotfix -> BSoD
• rollback to 10.12 -> BSoD
• removed ALL AMD files manually, installed 10.12 -> BSoD

• Temps are fine
• no sfc /scannow errors
• no chkdsk errors
• Prime, Furmark all fine
• regardless what driver I install -> BSoD
• I did no hw changes, no OC

Here are my BSoDs I receive:

• 0x0000010e
• 0x1000007e
• 0x0000007e
• 0x0000004e
• 0x0000003b
• dxgmms1.sys
• PFN_LIST_CORRUPT

They all refer to the GPU of course ...

From now on I receive a BSoD every time I try to play a game (especially BC2 and SC II) even if I completely remove the old driver and make a clean install.
Apparently the 11.1 damaged my system irreparable.

Any advice or info would be very much appreciated *Smile
