Windows 10: Windows multiple BSOD's due to a corrupt driver unable to reset pc 0xc000021a

Since a few days I am having issues with Windows 10 like random crashes of games and sometimes BSOD's.

I could be from the new RAM i got G Skill Trident Z RGB for which i installed RGB software ASUS Aura sync / Armoury crate which could also be the reason for my problems according to a few minidumps, although i already had problems with my Windows 10 prior to these. But I am still planning on doing a memtest86 on these in the next couple days.


Other symptoms include BSODs on updating Windows currently stuck on 1909 and resetting Windows with BSOD error 0xc000021a points to faulty drivers smss.exe and ntkrnlmp.exe


sfc /scannow showed problems that cannot be resolved, though I'm not able to interpret these logs good enough so i attached them below.

I googled some of the problems and they apparently correspond to corrupt files within my Windows installation.


chkdsk also ended unexpected and gave no logs but it seems there were no problems.




I have narrowed the problem down to beeing an driver issue where Driver Verifier showednetfilter2.sys as beeing flawed and the dumps attached below smss.exe and ntkrnlmp.exe.



Except from a fresh Windows install I see no solution to this problem and I don't know enough about tech to fix it myself.



Here are my minidumps: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u0t2YQkul6fxe45ySY-z3eIb0bKEz3vc/view?usp=sharing

And here the sfc log: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wIKkiv_ty_54HDPdGrWizWTWW73g37CM/view?usp=sharing



Sorry for bad structuring and typos. I'm just really tired

Unable to repair corrupt files causing multiple issues across PC

Hello there, I've been having problems with my PC for the past ~2 weeks with constant mf.dll errors causing crashes with multiple applications, unable to right-click the desktop background, losing options when right=clicking items in windows explorer (like
copy/paste/delete), and what looks like multiple corrupt files. I've tried a number of things to resolve these issues including steps from the following sites:

• Mf.dll Download - Fix Mf.dll Missing Error on Windows
• Right Click on WIndows 10 Desktop Not Working
• Fix: Right Click Not Working on Windows 10 - Appuals.com
• https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...er-tool-to-repair-missing-or-corrupted-system

Additionally, I've tried a system restore to a previous version (back to 6/20 before a 2-week vacation I went on), running a PC repair from Outbyte, and lastly a sfc scan which resulted in the "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable
to fix some of them." I have the CBS txt file showing multiple corrupt files but I'm not sure what next steps are to try and repair my system. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated and if any more information is needed please let me know. Thank
you in advance!
