How to fix error 0x00000036 in Windows 11

Solution Steps

1. 1 Boot into Safe Mode to see if the error occurs. If it doesn't, a third-party driver is likely the cause. Use the same method as before: restart and press F8 or hold Shift and click Restart.
2. 2 In Safe Mode, open Device Manager and look for devices with a yellow exclamation mark. Right-click and uninstall any problematic drivers, especially for devices you recently used or unplugged. Restart your PC and let Windows reinstall them.
3. 3 If you recently installed new hardware or drivers, use System Restore to revert. Type 'rstrui' in the Run dialog (Win+R) and follow the prompts. This can undo recent changes that introduced the bug.
4. 4 Update your drivers to the latest versions from official manufacturer websites. Outdated drivers may have bugs that cause improper unload behavior.
5. 5 If you use a docking station or frequently connect/disconnect devices, make sure you use the 'Safely Remove Hardware' feature before unplugging. This ensures drivers are properly unloaded. Right-click the device in the system tray and select 'Eject'.
6. 6 If the error persists, perform a Windows 11 repair installation using the installation media. This will reinstall the OS while keeping your files and apps, and can fix driver-related issues.
