    Windows 11 system32 winload.efi error code 0xc0000225


    My PC recently froze. Upon restarting, it became unable to boot and ran into the error in the title: system32 winload.efi error code 0xc0000225. This shows a bluescreen with several options. Recovery options don't work. I've found a work around in BIOS where I can boot using the boot manager of an old drive I have that is still connected. This still boots me into my current drive. I've tried doing the "Fix problems using Windows Update - Reinstall your current version of Windows while keeping apps, files, and settings", but this didn't work for me. Would you be able to assist?Thanks for any h

    :)
