Windows Cannot Start Error and Solution – Error code: 0xc000000e

You may encounter an error like the following while opening your Windows operating system. This is actually a problem that can be encountered even when a normally operating computer is turned off and then on again and is mainly a problem with the MBR, which is the part responsible for the proper startup of the operating system.

Note: The screen colour may differ depending on the operating system version, a blue screen in Windows 8.1 and later appears black on older operating systems.

The Windows loading screen will appear. Although we use Windows Server 2019 here, the basic logic is the same in all of them, we click the “Next” button on the first welcome screen without making any changes.
