Microsoft: KB5021233 results in blue screens and 0xc000021a errors

Posted on by ss7

Microsoft has launched an investigation into a problem that could cause Blue Screen of Death crashes (BSOD), which can be caused by 0xc000021a errors. This issue was discovered after Microsoft released the Windows 10 KB5021233 cumulative updates during Patch Tuesday.

Over the weekend, the company advised that some Windows devices could experience an error (0xc000021a), with a blue screen.

The known problem is most likely due to a mismatch in file versions between hidparse.sys.sys and system32/drivers within the Windows folder. This could cause signature validation failure when cleaning occurs.

Only client Windows 10 version versions are affected, ranging from Windows 10 20H2 up to Windows 10 22H2.

Redmond said that the company is already working to fix this issue, but it has not yet revealed when.
