PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA errors in Windows 10 with a blue screen appear, unfortunately, very common. As you know, the root cause must be found in the description. But it is not always possible to determine the fact that they failed to install some hardware or the appearance of failures in the system itself. Such problems are usually attributed to the Win32k.sys driver, however, it is partly the cause of the problems that arise, which is not always the case.
#Blue screen with error PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA Windows 10: causes
The explanation for the failure itself is only reduced to software and hardware errors. In other words, failure can also be caused by physical malfunctions of installed equipment (often video cards, RAM bars, hard drives, etc.), and due to conflicts at the installed software level
The strange thing is, programs like uTorrent, some antivirus programs, and even pending updates have been noticed as the perpetrators of the blue screen in Windows 10 PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA.
Thus, the first thing to do is to disable torrenting software (if installed) in automatic download (Task Manager tab) and antivirus, then install all the missing and critical update packages by setting a manual search in the update center. The system is located in the list of updates and security options. But this is a theory, in practice, the result is very rare. The same torrent client does not cause problems when reinstalling.
Suppose we have a Windows 10 error PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA again. How to fix such a failure? In this case, it is recommended that the “Update Center” in the Services section reconnect using the subsequent pause and stop buttons with the “Automatic” (not manual) operation type installed. There is a need to restart immediately after stopping the service and embedding – after the restart.
#Failure PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA: How to fix it most simply?
In practice, everything looks a little different. The solution to the PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA error in Windows 10 lies primarily in an attempt to restore the previous configuration using applicable parameters.
If the F8 button is activated to enter the start menu, you can select the appropriate system start line. When installing upgrades, a System Restore diagnostic and troubleshooting tool is used. You can also boot from removable media.
In the case that system recovery does not work (for example, due to a lack of backups or images corresponding to the system condition at a specific time), the best option is to boot into safe mode.
# Problems with Gigabyte motherboard utilities
Unfortunately motherboard owners. The fact is that for the chipset itself when installing drivers in the factory suite, an On / Off Charge add-on is installed. In most cases, it provokes system-wide conflicts, and a blue screen (error PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA). Windows 10, as it turns out, does not see such a program, considering it to be completely incompatible.
# Conflicts at the level of anti-virus and user programs
Surprisingly, antivirus and installed software can also cause software-level conflicts.
You can temporarily disable antivirus, or even better than completely remove it (especially if it is a free package like Avast, which in itself can cause system errors and cause a lot of problems to the user).
You can also try to uninstall the latest installed software, which, in theory, might cause PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA to fail. Windows 10, therefore, provides a standard section of programs and components in the Control Panel (Control in the Playlist or Parameters section and the Application menu).
# Network connections and hibernation
However, often this behavior of the system is caused by improper configuration of network connections. You can solve the problem by entering network settings (ncpa. cpl) and then disconnecting (or better, deleting) all ethernet network connections
Indeed, through a cable connection, it can be repeated (it is not known why). After that, you should reboot in a fixed position.
As for sleep and hibernation, here the problem is solved by disabling the QuickStart when exiting. These settings are made in the options section of power systems, where the mark is removed from the corresponding element
# The result
In summary, it can be indicated that the blue screen with the above error warning is not particularly important (at least for the operating system itself). Troubleshooting is best to start with recovery. In the absence of the appropriate effect – from downloading in safe mode. You can also start the restore manually (restrui.exe) or even scan the disk for errors and correct them at the bad sector level (chkdsk / x / f / r). Along the way, you can check system files (sfc / scannow) or perform the online recovery using the DISM toolkit.
