System Information
Operating system: Windows
Graphics card: Nvidia P4200

Blender Version
Broken: 2.9

Today Blender 2.9 crashed on a normal scene and it never booting up again. It shows "Bad image "error with DL2.dll I have tried everything from changing the Dll file to re installing the software, Even USB bootable version is not working.

Here is the error C:\Windows\AppPatch\dl2.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0xc000022”

Tried with LTS version, still no luck. Updated the graphic driver, and cleared registry after uninstall, still no luck.

This is a corruption issue outside of Blender, as @rjg said here:
https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/196381/blender-2-9-crashed-and-resulted-in-a-bad-image-error#comment329303_196381

As such, I will close this report.

HI,
I, sorry that the error msg I pasted yesterday was wrong.
Here is the correct error " C:\Program files\Blender Foundation\Blender 2.90\dl2.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0xc000022
This dll file is present inside the Blender installation directory and even in USB ZIP
It seems to be a Blender compatibility issue.
Please help

@Gopiz There is no such DLL in the Windows version of Blender. Do you mean the SDL2.dll? Please check if your anti-virus blocks the loading of the DLL and make sure that you're downloading Blender from the official website .

Yes
I mean SDL2.dll
Blender is downloaded from blender website and also tried the LTS version from Windows store.
Error still persists even when the anti virus is off

Apparently the problem was that Simple Direct media Layer (SDL) is considered as a game engine and blocked my employers firewall.
This may not be an issue in personal computers, but something to watch out for in work and school systems.

Thanks for the help
