One of the common but troublesome errors for Windows users is the Blue Screen of Death or BSOD error. It can crash the system in many different ways. Some of the common BSOD errors include igdkmd64.sys blue screen error, nvlddmkm.sys blue screen error, and SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION Blue screen error.
Generally, you can identify the problem that the system is having with the hardware as the BSOD problem appears along with an error code. Many users have recently been very affected by the Kmode Exception Not Handled error on Windows 10. There were such issues in Windows 8 also.
Here, in this article, we will state some effective ways in which you can solve the "Kmode Exception Not Handled" error.
What is Kmode Exception Not Handled?
It is a system crash that happens when a Kernel Mode Program causes an exception, which cannot be identified by the error handler. There will usually be an error code 0x0000001E or sometimes the system might start loop reboot.
How to Fix Kmode Exception Not Handled Error?
You can try the following methods to fix the Kmode Exception Not Handled error effectively:
- Turn off fast startup
- Run Windows Memory Diagnostics
- Update device drivers
1. Turn off fast startup
You can set the Windows fast startup feature for your own startup preference. It is made available from the Windows 8 version and it works like the hybrid sleep mode of the previous Windows versions. The fast startup can make your computer boot up even quicker by saving the operating system state to a hibernation file.
But, you must remember that the fast startup can also cause the system to crash if there is trouble in reloading the driver, kernel, and system state normally. If the BSOD error occurs like the Kmode Exception Not Handled error, you might have to turn off fast startup to boot normally.
1. Win + R and input “Control panel”, then press Enter;
2. Search for Power Options;
3. Then, click on Choose what the power buttons do.
4. Then just Change settings that are currently unavailable;
5. Finally, untick the choice Turn on fast startup, and click Save changes and exit;
Then, you should restart your computer and check if the Kmode Exception Not Handled error has been solved.
2. Run Windows Memory Diagnostics
This is a system memory test that can help you to check the computer's RAM for problems. There will be a status bar during the test process showing you if there are any problems detected. Thus, it also helps in checking the Kmode Exception Not Handled error.
1. Just open Windows Memory Diagnostics by searching it from the search box.
2. Then, click on restart now and look for the problems.
Then just repair the problems that have been detected and restart your computer.
3. Update device drivers
You can also update the driver manually through the Device Manager or automatically update it with the driver update if the error is caused by the outdated device driver.
Update driver in Device Manager
1. Win + X and choose Device Manager.
2. Hover over to “other devices” and right-click to update the driver;
3. Then just search for updated driver software and wait for the result.
Make sure that the driver is compatible with your system.
