    Need help with CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED


    I previously had this blue screen for weeks on end last year when playing games it would happen about 5 minutes in and I eventually fixed it after trying every single option possible by switching a cable on my ssd to a different slot on my mb and it randomly stopped and I thought it was gone for good. But up until Wednesday night it happened again and it started the exact same as before it would blue screen me with _Store_exception. Then the next restart and logging into and playing a game I would get the critical_process_died. I have already run all the dism commands and sfcscannow and change

    :)

  3. CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED

    Hi John,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being part of Windows 10.

    I understand the inconvenience you are facing with Blue screen error on Windows 10. We will help you with this issue.

    Do let us know the following to assist you better with this issue:

    • Were you able to see any error code along with the error message?
    • Have you made any hardware/ software changes to the device prior to this issue?
    • Have you checked if the issue persists on Safe mode with networking as well?

    The CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED bug check has a value of 0x000000EF. This indicates that a critical system process died.

    Step 1: As you have performed SFC scan, found some corrupted and couldn't fix, try the below and check if it helps.

    If you are not able to repair some files after performing SFC scan, I suggest you to refer to the point 3 “Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log
    %WinDir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log”. Under the section “Run the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe)” to repair the corrupted files after performing SFC scan.

    Refer: Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system
    files


    Step 2: If the issue still persists, I suggest you to perform DISM on your system to fix corrupted system files.

    Refer: Fix Windows corruption errors by using the DISMor System Update Readiness tool

    Step 3: I suggest you to install the pending updates on your device and check if it helps.

    Steps:

    • Connect to the internet.
    • Press Windows key and type
      updates
      .
    • Click on Check for updates.
    • Under Windows Updates, click on
      Check for updates.
    • Try to install the updates being shown.

    Hope it helps. Kindly get back to us with an updated status of this issue for further assistance.
