The Recovery Tool answers the question everybody searched for at the end of last week: “How to fix blue screen of death?”
Exciting Windows update news circulated on the internet this weekend. The company introduced a new way how to fix the blue screen of death. Before the events, there was only one way to solve the blue screen – the company provided a manual way to correct the problem on Friday.
Here is how to fix blue screen of death manually:
- Put Windows into Safe Mode or the Recovery Environment
- Go to the directory called C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike
- Find the file called “C-00000291*.sys” and delete it from the folder
- Now restart the computer normally.
This method could be more efficient. Only a few people know of it, and it also needs to be done on one device at a time. This is a waste of time for big companies with thousands of computers and insufficient IT staff.
