How to fix
INTERRUPT_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED BSOD
on Windows

I get the blue screen error. A few different ones actually, and is annoying. The message states that the OS cannot boot due to an interrupt exception. It goes fine, and the computer works smoothly when the error occurs. I manage to restart the system, but the issue repeats. I have no idea why it happens and how to solve the issue. Can you help?

INTERRUPT_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED BSOD error in Windows is a common issue, unfortunately. The problem can be related to affected files or drivers on the system. But sometimes, update for drivers or troubleshooting do not do the job of fixing the issue.

People[ref en-1] state that this Blue Screen of Death[ref en-2] comes out of nowhere and that the message about a particular problem or even the code INTERRUPT_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED is not showing up. The same BSOD in Windows 10 has a 0x803F7000 meaning. These system crashes can bring out panic and frustration, but if you manage to run the system normally - you can solve the problem easily.

This interruption exception error occurs because the system came across some damaged piece of the file. It can be related to registry entries, drivers, other files. When you update the operating system, some of those bugs[ref en-3] trigger the damage, or the update itself contains files that are not running properly.

INTERRUPT_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED BSOD error can also appear after a fresh installation of software, hardware. It also triggers issues with various systems, not only Windows 10 version. However, reports show that these newest OS machines suffer from such errors more often.

The error can be fixed by running a tool with the purpose of recovering damaged files and pieces in system folders, for example. There are issues that such affected, corrupted pieces trigger, BSOD errors can be one of the problems. Run [d1] before you do anything else, and you can save some time for the manual solutions.
