Error CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED (Windows 10): how to fix?
One of the most unpleasant situations when working withthe tenth version of Windows OS is the appearance of a blue BSoD screen with a stop code (CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED error). The saddest thing is that this failure manifests itself exclusively at the stage of system boot, and it's simply impossible to get rid of it during the subsequent reboot. However, it is possible to eliminate the problem, and with fairly simple methods.
What does the error code CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED indicate?
The situation, frankly speaking, is not pleasant. Okay, a CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED error would appear only in a workable system, since a blue screen can even appear during the OS boot phase.
Worse if the failure manifests itself afterinitial installation. The problem is most often associated with the incorrect installation of drivers for present "iron" devices, which provokes the emergence of conflicts.
CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED error: what should I do first?
Thus, in any case, the elimination of the problemis limited to installing the appropriate drivers. And do not be under the delusion that the user sees in the "Device Manager" on the general tab message that the driver is installed, and the device supposedly works fine. This is a profound error.
The fact is that Windows on detectionnon-standard devices installs, as it seems, the most suitable driver, and it just does not fit the device chosen at all. In this case, if you have a disk with original drivers or related software, you need to install from it (this concerns the problems when the system boots).
But it also happens that in the running systemCRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED crashes (Windows 10). How to fix this situation? You need to use the Device Manager, which is called via the PCM menu on the computer icon in the administration section, through the Control Panel or by entering the devmgmt.msc command in the Run console. But to identify the device that caused the crash, you need to initially load utilities such as Blue Screen Viewer or WhoCrashed, and then in the "Device Manager", looking for the bad component, will have to dig for a very long time (especially since the device can be designated as working and having no problems) .
So, we had a CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED error(Windows 10). How do I fix a crash? First, use the update or rollback options on the driver tab. Perhaps this will help. However, the best option is checking the IDs DEV and VEN (ID of equipment), for which you can find the most appropriate driver on the Internet, download it and integrate it into the system. Note that some installers can be represented not as an .exe file, but as objects with an .inf extension. Such drivers are installed through the PCM menu with the selection of the corresponding item. If the system does not load at all, it is necessary to take such actions with the load in safe mode.
But you can meet situations when and after thisCRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED crashes (Windows 10). How to fix the problem in this case? Alternatively, you can use specialized utilities to automatically find and install updated drivers, not only for a single device, but for all those present in the system. Appendices of this direction can be found quite a lot, but among the best separately worth noting Driver Booster, DriverPack Solution, Slim Drivers and the like. The advantage of such packages is obvious: they download drivers for certain devices exclusively from manufacturers' websites and integrate software to recognize and manage devices automatically, without user intervention.
Checking system files
However, often the cause of such an error may be violations in the operation of the operating system itself due to unforeseen failures.
In this case, it is recommended to call the commandconsole (either on a running system or when boot from removable media) and run the sfc / scannow command, which helps to fix problems with the integrity or presence of corrupted system files.
Sometimes, the built-in online recovery utility can be used as a DISM tool. However, in this case, an uninterrupted connection to the Internet is required.
Full reset
But, suppose that all this did not work, andThe user again sees the stopcode CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED (Windows 10). How can I fix a system crash? The only and last solution is to return to the factory settings of the system. On some laptop models, there is an integrated menu for this.
But also in Windows 10 there is own meansrollback. To use it, you have to reboot with the Shift key pressed and select this item through the start menu, and then in the Recovery Console select the partition to return the computer to its original state. In principle, similar actions can be performed from the parameters section and use special boot options or start from a removable recovery disk or flash drive.
And remember that reinstalling Windows 10even with full partition formatting in the absence of special drivers, the problem does not solve. Therefore, to deal with such things is only wasting time. If the system does not boot, it's better to find the drivers for identifiers from another computer, and then install them from the command line when booting from a removable device. But this will work for sure.
