A common issue faced by numerous users of Microsoft’s Windows operating systems, including Windows 7, 8, and 10, lies in encountering the system error, often manifested as error code 0xc0000098. This error typically presents itself with a blue screen that declares, “Your PC needs to be repaired.” If you are oblivious to this code, it can be troublesome and interrupt your smooth computing experience.
This error code signifies that the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) file doesn’t contain all the information required to boot up Windows. In simpler terms, it suggests that your system cannot access the required files to boot up properly. One common cause could be the accidental deletion of certain files, faulty updates, or even sudden power outages which might disrupt certain processes.
Solutions are available to resolve this issue, which mostly involves booting your system from a Windows installation disc or USB, and repairing it with integrated cmd commands like ‘bootrec.exe.’ While these processes may sound too technical for some users, there are plenty of step-by-step guides available online. Furthermore, it is always recommended to regularly back up your data to avoid potential data loss during the process of rectifying such system errors. Regular system maintenance is also a preventive measure to keep your system running smoothly and avoid the appearance of such error codes.
