- Update Network Adapter Drivers
Press Win + X, open Device Manager, expand Network adapters, right-click your adapter → Update driver. Reboot and test for stability.
- Run Memory Diagnostics Tool
Press Win + R, type mdsched.exe, and run the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool to check for faulty RAM, which can trigger RDR allocation issues.
1.Disable Antivirus Temporarily
Temporarily disable third-party antivirus or endpoint protection tools to see if they’re conflicting with SMB file sharing. If the BSOD stops, consider switching security software.
2. Adjust Nonpaged Pool Memory Settings
- Open Registry Editor (regedit), navigate to:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
- Ensure the system is optimized for enough nonpaged memory. Use caution when editing registry.
3.Run SFC and DISM
- Open Command Prompt as Administrator. Run:
- sfc /scannow
- Then run:
- DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
- This ensures system file integrity, especially for network and file-sharing components.
4.Check SMB Client and Workstation Services
Press Win + R, type services.msc, and ensure Workstation and SMB Client services are running and set to automatic. Restart if needed.
5.Perform System Restore
If the BSOD began after recent changes:
- Go to Control Panel → Recovery → Open System Restore.
- Choose a restore point from before the issue began and follow the prompts to revert.
