Windows 10: Error code: 0xc000000f: critical service failed and 0xc0000225

Hi,


I am using an old Windows 10 computer, about 5-7 years old(can't remember) that started showing a blue screen of death and the error message CRITICAL_SERVICE_FAILED a ago. After a few boots, it showed the screen with the options "Press F1 to enter Recovery Environment"(which kind of reloads it, only it takes out the next option that I'm saying, and if I press anything other than Esc., the screen flashes and nothing happens), "Press F9 to use a different operating system"(Which dosen't work), "Press Enter to try again"(Which almost never works), "Press F8 for startup settings"(I tried everything except one thing I really didn't want to try, it's , and "Press Esc. for UEFI firmware settings"(which dosen't help, and I tried searching what should be the priority boot order, nothing to help), not in that order. It also says "Recovery your pc couldn't start properly a required device isn't connected or can't be accessed Error code: 0xc000000f You'll need to use recovery tools. If you don't have installation media(like a disc or USB hard drive), contact your PC administrator or PC/Device manufacturer."However a day ago after a few tries(more like 50-100) it magically worked. I am very confused. Also, today, after a few tries, the error code suddenly switched to 0xc0000225, which I got even more confused about, because CRITICAL_SERVICE_FAILED did not change. Any help fast please?

:)
