Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class ‘WP_Block_Type_Registry’ not found

WordPress tries to load WP_Block_Type_Registry during core bootstrap. If the file class-wp-block-type-registry.php is missing or corrupted the autoloader fails and PHP throws a fatal error.

The error appears before plugins or themes load, so the site stops at the white screen. It usually indicates an incomplete update or a manual removal of core files.
