Windows 10: Stop code: 0xc000021a.

Hello Community, I've recently finished my build on a computer containing an Aorus Pro Wifi motherboard, i9 9900k processor, 1t 970 evo ssd and 128gb patriot viper elite ii ddr4 ram. I've enabled Tpm 2.0 and secure boot. However, my computer crashes during install giving Stop code: 0xc000021a. I have no clue of what I'm dealing with and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance! Also, I'm aware that my components aren't the latest on the market but everything meets the Windows 11 requirements for operation.

:)

Dear Darwin,

I have tried your method.

Up until Step 5, the computer restart when I press F4 to proceed into Safe Mode. Unfortunately the screen turn into blue screen with stop code 0xc000021a during the startup process.

Looks like the computer turn blue screen in every restarting process after showing logo and 3 turning rounds.
