[SOLVED] Windows 10 corrupted, 0xc0000225

[AvengedDishTowel]

I'm having an issue with my freshly put together computer, I'm doing a fresh install of a Windows 10 USB and it's pulling up the error code 0xc0000225, one that I'm not familiar with at all.

My Kingston SSD is set as the 1st Boot Option, I haven't even bothered connected my HDD storage in case that's causing a conflict. I had to flash the BIOS with an Athlon 200GE due to the board having that update problem with the first gen Ryzen chips, that seems to have gone well but I'm wondering if it could be related. The only other USB peripherals I have installed are my keyboard and my mouse.

I can't seem to get past this error code and unsure of how to repair this drive as this is my very first install. Could it be hardware related?

Ryzen 3 1300X
Asus B-350F Gaming
Asus GTX 1050ti ROG STRIX
Kingston 240GB SSD
Western Digital 1TB Black Series

Do a Google search with this: 0xc0000225 and "windows 10". When I did, I got over 49,000 hits. This kind of search is what we have to do because Microsoft prefers to give us these cryptic error codes instead of a plain language explanation of problems when they occur.

Have you double-checked your Legacy/CSM settings? The setting labeled "Legacy Mode" or "CSM support" should be OFF. Sounds like an MBR on UEFI setup conflict. Make absolutely sure that the USB you create is partitioned as GPT (Win10 install tool automatically sets this up, if you are using Rufus, make sure the partition table is set to GPT) and fully wipe the drive before installing. For the fixup, have that USB handy.
