Summary
Error code 0xc0000098 is causing blue screen crashes at Windows startup and is often caused by the ACPI.sys driver, particularly true if you are running an older version of Windows 11 or Windows 10.
To fix this issue, backup the ACPI.sys registry so you can import it to the registry editor when required.
