Blue screen errors can occur for multiple hardware and software failure reasons. As Windows 11 is very advanced and developed to handle all these errors by itself it will fix it automatically for you but in some cases, it might not be able to fix it if any serious issue happened on the windows os level or hardware level. It can also go into any loop of restarting.

Let's see some reasons why BSOD can happen:

1)Power supply failure, caused windows to shutdown unexpectedly

2)Removed some hardware parts like RAM/SSD while the machine was running.

3)Force shutdown or restart while Windows is updating

4)Upgraded or downgraded the unsupported drivers in the system

5)Downloaded or installed any malicious software on the system

There can be a lot of other reasons why BSOD can happen , but don't worry or panic by the end of this blog you will be able to fix the issue for your machine.

1. Perform power cycle steps :

Before trying anything else I would recommend you, try the below steps :

• Power off the machine

• Remove the power cable/adaptor and other I/O devices connected to the machine.

• Once done please press the power button for a minimum of 20 seconds, do not release the power button for 20 seconds

• After that once press the power button and try to power on the system.

check if that fixes the issue and Windows loads normally or do an update then loads.

1. Advanced Troubleshooting :

If you are not able to see the advanced troubleshooting options then power off the system. Once done then power on the system and immediately start tapping f11 key(this key might differ from brand to brand, you can search for the system recovery key for your brand on Google).

You will be on the below screen:

Here first click on Troubleshoot option to explore the advance options

1. Startup repair: This will restart your Windows 11 PC and try to fix the Blue Screen of Death error.

   

If this option doesn't fix the issue , then let's see the other options

1. Command Prompt:

Select the command prompt option from the advance troubleshooting options , then run the below command .

sfc /scannow

It will scan and repair the system files. Then run Run CHKDSK to Repair Boot Drive.

type chkdsk /r c: and press Enter,Type Y and hit Enter when you are prompted to schedule the check after a reboot ,Reboot and let the check proceed. It might take a while.

then after reboot, Open Command Prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each move.

Finally, restart the PC and check whether the Blue Screen of Death error has been fixed or not. If still you have the issue then check the next step.

1. System restore:

If the Blue Screen of Death error is still persisting on your Windows 11 PC, you can restore the computer to an earlier date when the PC was working fine. While this method works well and fixes the BSOD error, the only con is that you will lose changes made to files and folders, if any, on your PC. Basically, with System Restore on Windows 11, your PC will travel back in time to a functional state. If you are fine with it, follow the below steps.

But if you don't have your system restore configured earlier then you will not be able to do the step .
