Last week, I updated one of my PC from Windows 10 version 1809 to Windows 10 version 1909. The PC was not running a few programs correctly. The last one was our security cameras. It installed the software, but won’t let me install the cameras in the software. So, I try to do a Rest this PC but keep the personal files.
That reset came back with a “Could not do this”. So I tried a Reset this PC, but this time wipe out all of the apps and personal files.
Now the PC is in a end loop, trying to install Windows at 60%, but I get the BSOD. The Stop code is “System_Thread_Exception_Not_Handled” with a failed of BrHostDrv.sys
I have tried to get into Safe Mode and recovery mode, but it just keeps trying to go back to installing and failing.
One of the most reasons are the faulty or outdated driver and after that overclocking software to cause this BSOD error. If you have installed any new software and thereafter you are facing this issue, then you must uninstall the software, the same is not compatible with Windows 10.
To solve this issue you need to do a lots of research on your effected Windows 10 computers like you have to read minidump file etc. There is no doubt this process is time consuming. If I were you I would simple Refresh the Windows 10 OS in your effected PC. Refreshing the Windows 10 OS will bring back all the new Windows 10 OS file from the Windows 10 Image file and overwritten in your effected computer. In my opinion this is the best choice to make.
It seems you’re experiencing this issue. The “System_Thread_Exception_Not_Handled” error with a failure of BrHostDrv.sys is often associated with faulty, obsolete, or corrupt device drivers.
Here are some steps you can try to resolve this issue:
Identify the Faulty Driver:
Open the Run box by pressing Win + R.
Type eventvwr and hit Enter.
Go to Windows Logs → System.
Look for the system_thread_exception_not_handled log and click on it to find more details.
Update or Roll Back the Drivers:
Once you know which driver is causing the issue, try updating it to the latest version.
If the problem started after a recent update, consider rolling back to the previous version.
Use System File Checker:
This tool can scan and repair corrupted system files.
Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
Type sfc /scannow and press Enter.
Use System Restore:
To do this, you can use a system restore, which is a process that will take your computer back to a point in time where the problem was not yet present.
To restore your system, you need to use the Start menu and look for the “System Restore” option there and go through the steps.
Clean Install Windows:
If nothing of the above methods helps, then there comes one action that will be required in majority of cases: reinstalling Windows.
To create bootable media, go to Microsoft’s Official website and download the Media Creation Tool.
You can format the USB and download the operating system, making it bootable then follow the instructions for clean installation.
Check for Windows Updates:
In some cases, it is enough to check the state of the Windows and the latest version may solve any driver problem.
A click on the Start,
then on the Settings icon – the gear – on the left side,
select Update & Security and then Windows Update and search for updates.
Run a Memory Check:
Faulty RAM can sometimes cause this error.
Use the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool:
Type mdsched.exe in the Run box and follow the instructions to check your memory.
Uninstall Recently Installed Software:
New software can sometimes cause conflicts.
If the issue started after installing new software, try uninstalling it to see if the problem resolves.
Check Disk for Errors:
Corrupt sectors on your hard drive can cause this error.
Open Command Prompt as an administrator and type chkdsk /f /r then press Enter. This will schedule a check and repair any disk errors on the next reboot.
Boot into Safe Mode:
Within the more serious condition, you can try to boot into Safe Mode to solve the problem.
Booting into Safe Mode can be beneficial sometimes in diagnosing concerns.
Quit out of the Windows operating system and restart the computer
The Words start up menu will appear on the screen;
now at this point press the F8 key (or Shift + F8) not at the same time when the Word start up appears on the screen select safe mode.
That is, when you are running in the Safe Mode, you can perform an update or rollback of the drivers, run the System File Checker, or any other process that must be done in a Safe Mode.
Disable Overclocking:
If this has been done on your system, then things can get a little awkward and you end having to deal with issues like instability and system errors.
BIOS is likely to be set differently from normal setting and you can try to disable Overclocking to see whether you continue experiencing this problem.
