How to fix
Windows Application error 0xe0434352
on Windows

Hello. Almost every time I launch my Windows computer, I receive an "Unknown software exception (0xe0434352) in application location 0x00007FFD112E3B29" error. Whenever it does show up, it prevents me from logging in, and I have to restart once again until I get a login without the error. This is very annoying, and I'd like it to be fixed ASAP.

Windows is an intricate operating system that is well-known for its ability to provide users with a lot of freedom while becoming more user-friendly at the same time.

Unfortunately, issues might arise with the implementation of new applications, and exception error code 0xe0434352 is one of them. The issue has been around for almost a decade and affects all Windows versions, including Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11.

1. Check for software conflicts with Clean Boot

0xe0434352 application error could be caused by software conflict. Using Windows' Clean Boot function can help you find them easier:

• Type msconfig in Windows search and hit Enter
• Go to the Services tab
• Check the Hide all Microsoft services checkbox and select Disable all
• Go to the Startup tab and pick Open Task Manager
• Here, right-click on every entry and select Disable and close the Task Manager
• Go to the Boot tab, tick Safe Boot and select Apply and OK.

  

If the issue is not present in the Clean Boot environment, it means that software conflict was causing the issue. To resolve this, you need to uninstall the app causing the issue (users reported that FPS counter apps with overlay cause this error).

2. Update GPU drivers and Windows

• Type Update in Windows search and press Enter
• Click Check for updates and wait till Windows downloads and installs all the necessary files
• If available, click View optional updates
• Expand the Drivers section and select everything available, then click Download and install

  

• Once done, restart your computer.

It is important to note that Windows might not always find the most recent driver updates. Therefore, we recommend downloading specific drivers from the manufacturer's website or employing automatic tools such as [rev id="DriverFix"].
