Solution Steps
- 1 Boot into Safe Mode: Use the Shift + Restart method to access Safe Mode. This will allow you to perform repairs without the problematic driver loading.
- 2 Run System File Checker and DISM: Open Command Prompt as administrator and run 'sfc /scannow' and then 'DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth'. Corrupted system files can cause this error, and these tools fix them.
- 3 Check for recently installed software or drivers: In Safe Mode, go to Settings → Apps → Installed apps and uninstall any recently added programs. Also, use Device Manager to roll back or uninstall recently updated drivers.
- 4 Perform a clean boot: Press Windows key + R, type 'msconfig', and press Enter. Go to the Services tab, check 'Hide all Microsoft services', and click 'Disable all'. Then go to the Startup tab and click 'Open Task Manager'. Disable all startup items. Restart. If the error doesn't occur, enable services one by one to find the culprit.
- 5 Check for Windows updates: Even in Safe Mode, you can go to Settings → Windows Update and check for updates. Install any pending updates, as they might fix the underlying issue.
- 6 If the error persists, consider a system restore: Type 'rstrui' in the Run dialog (Windows key + R) and follow the prompts to restore your system to a previous point when it was working.
