How to fix error 0x00000025 in Windows 11

Solution Steps

1. 1 Boot into Safe Mode: Restart your PC and press F8 (or Shift + Restart) to access Advanced Startup Options. Choose Safe Mode with Networking. Safe Mode loads only essential drivers, which can help you diagnose if a third-party driver is causing the issue.
2. 2 Run System File Checker (SFC): Open Command Prompt as administrator (Win+X, then select 'Terminal (Admin)'). Type 'sfc /scannow' and press Enter. This command scans all protected system files and replaces corrupted ones. It's like a doctor checking your system's vital organs for damage.
3. 3 Run DISM tool: In the same Command Prompt, type 'DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth' and press Enter. This repairs the system image that SFC uses as a reference. If SFC is the doctor, DISM is the pharmacy that provides the healthy cells.
4. 4 Check disk for errors: Open Command Prompt as admin and type 'chkdsk C: /f /r' and press Enter. You'll be prompted to schedule a check on restart. This scans your hard drive for bad sectors and file system errors. A failing drive can cause this BSOD.
5. 5 Update or roll back drivers: Go to Device Manager (Win+X → Device Manager). Look for devices with a yellow exclamation mark. Right-click and choose 'Update driver' or 'Properties' → 'Driver' → 'Roll Back Driver' if you recently updated a driver. Faulty drivers are a common cause of this error.
6. 6 Check for Windows updates: Go to Settings → Windows Update and click 'Check for updates'. Install any pending updates, as they often include fixes for known bugs.
7. 7 If the error persists, perform a System Restore: Type 'rstrui' in the Run dialog (Win+R) and follow the wizard to restore your PC to a previous state before the error started.
