Acer nitro 5, windows error code: 0xc000000e (Nitro AN515-54)

Hi I recently bought acer nitro 5 to be exact (Nitro AN515-54)
It has 256gb ssd and 1TB hdd.
It came with linux system on it and I decided to put windows on ssd.
It is working now but it has some problem every time I turn on pc I get windows error pop up screen (error code: 0xc000000e).
I have four options to click:
Enter - to try again
F1- to enter Recovery Environment
F8 - for start-up settings
ESC - for UEFI firmware settings
Only ESC option works and I need to turn it on through bios directly.
Is this fixable, it seems my laptop is confused from which drive to boot up or something?

(Edited the title to add model name)

1) Which version of Windows 10 did you install ? You need to use 64bit of Windows 10 for the Nitro 5.
2) You need to use GPT formatted hdd for Windows 10 64 bit. (UEFI and not legacy) ...
3) If you have both Linux and W10 Installed, would recommend changing the UEFI/Boot (BIOS) Boot drive so W10 is first.
4) If you do NOT need Linux, just boot W10 Install USB flash, and when you get to the install step, delete ALL current partitions, and let Windows format the drive the way it needs to. It's much simpler that way. You may want make sure the BIOS/UEFI is set to default settings.
** If you really want to use Linux, you may want to consider using a separate drive (one for W10, one for Linux), or using a virtual hard drive setup (like VirtualBOX) within Windows ..

Does the BIOS/UEFI settings (first screen) show SATA = RAID ??

Hi, I have a similar problem. My laptop came with a 512ssd which had Windows 10, I mounted a 1Tb drive and installed W11 on the 1Tb drive and dual booted Linux on the 512 drive. Randomly while using W11 I will get the error 0xc000000e message which goes away after a quick. I would like to fix this issue permanently
