"Use of \@startpbox doesn't match its definition." Error on a Table

Question

I am getting the following error during compilation "Use of @startpbox doesn't match its definition." for all my tables in tabular and tabularx environment.

The relevant portions of my document include:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[table]{xcolor} %Reason for the error
\usepackage{geometry,tabularx,multirow}

\begin{document}
\noindent\begin{tabular}{l c p{6cm}}
\textbf{Name} & : &  \\
\textbf{Registration Number} & : &  \\
\textbf{Department} & : & Civil Engineering \\
\textbf{Date of Joining} & : &  \\
\textbf{Date of Upgradation (if any)} & : &  \\
\textbf{Specialization/Stream} & : & \\
\textbf{Area of Research}  & : &  \\
\textbf{Category of Admission} & : &  \\
\textbf{Guide} & : &  \\
\textbf{Co-Guide(s)} & : & \\
\textbf{Date of DC Meetings} & : & \\
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

This error occurred after I updated all the packages. Any help is appreciated.
