How to fix error 0x0000000c in Windows 11

Solution Steps

1. 1 Boot into Safe Mode: Restart your PC and press F8 (or Shift + F8) repeatedly before the Windows logo appears. Alternatively, from the login screen, hold Shift and click Restart. Navigate to Troubleshoot → Advanced options → Startup Settings → Restart, then press 4 or F4 to enter Safe Mode. Safe Mode loads only essential drivers, which can help isolate the problem.
2. 2 Run Windows Memory Diagnostic: Press Windows key + R, type 'mdsched.exe', and press Enter. Choose 'Restart now and check for problems'. This tests your RAM for errors, as faulty memory can cause random BSODs. Let the test complete; it may take 20-30 minutes.
3. 3 Check for driver updates: Press Windows key + X and select Device Manager. Expand categories like Display adapters, Network adapters, and Storage controllers. Right-click each device and select 'Update driver' → 'Search automatically for drivers'. Outdated or buggy drivers are a common cause of this error.
4. 4 Run System File Checker (SFC) and DISM: Open Command Prompt as administrator (Windows key + X → Terminal (Admin)). Type 'sfc /scannow' and press Enter. After it finishes, type 'DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth' and press Enter. These tools repair corrupted system files that might trigger the bug check.
5. 5 Check for Windows updates: Press Windows key + I to open Settings, go to Windows Update, and click 'Check for updates'. Install any pending updates, as Microsoft often fixes bug check causes in cumulative updates.
6. 6 Uninstall recently installed software: If the error started after installing a new program or driver, go to Settings → Apps → Installed apps, find the suspicious software, and uninstall it. Also, use Device Manager to roll back any recently updated drivers (right-click device → Properties → Driver → Roll Back Driver).
