Check the minidump files

The first thing you will need to do in this case is to determine what exactly is causing the problem. Windows stores information from a Blue Screen Of Death in what are called minidump files. The quickest way to view the information of the minidump file is by using a free to download tool called the BlueScreenView which you can download from https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html. Although this is an old program it will get the job done. Once the program is installed and running, it should automatically find and list all the minidump files your computer has made after a BSOD crash. You can then view important information about that crash, such as the error code and the file that’s involved.

If the file that’s causing the problem is part of a third party program then you should uninstall this program. If it is part of a driver then you must update the affected driver.

To know more details about the particular file that’s causing the problem you can type its name over at Google. With the information that you have gathered you will now have a general idea of what needs to be done.

Check if the  the system thread exception not handled issue still occurs.

Uninstall third party software in Safe Mode

There are instances when certain third party services can cause this problem. To check if this is the culprit you will need to start the computer in Safe Mode.

• Power on your computer.
• When the Windows logo appears hold down the power button until the system powers off . You may need to repeat these first two steps as many as 3 times.
• Power it on and let it start. You should see a screen saying “Preparing Automatic Repair” followed by “Diagnosing your PC”. If you don’t see this screen then repeat the previous step.
• Once this is done you will likely see a screen saying “Automatic Repair couldn’t repair your PC”. Click on “Advanced options“.
• Click “Troubleshoot” on the next screen.
• Click “Advanced options“
• Click “Startup Settings“.
• Click “Restart“
• A screen showing a list of options and their corresponding numbers should come up after restarting. Press the 5 or F5  for “Enable Safe Mode with Networking“.
• Windows will restart and should now be in Safe Mode with Networking. This basically disables all non-essential drivers, except those for networking, which should allow you to still access the internet.

Once your device is in safe mode, select the Star then select Settings then Apps. Select Sort by name and change it to Sort by install date. Select the third-party software you want to remove, and then select Uninstall. After you uninstall the third-party software ( start with the antivirus as this could be causing the BSOD), restart your device then check if the issue still occurs.

Reset the computer

If the above steps fails to fix the problem then you should consider resetting the computer.

• Go to Settings. You can get there by clicking the gear icon on the Start menu.
• Select “Update & security” and click Recovery in the left pane.
• Windows presents you with three major options: Reset this PC, Go back to an earlier build and Advanced startup. Reset this PC is the best option for starting fresh. Advanced startup lets you boot off a recovery USB drive or disc and “Go to an earlier build” is made for Windows Insiders who want to roll back to a previous version of the OS.
• Click Get started under Reset this PC.
• Click either “Keep my files” or “Remove everything,” depending on whether you want to keep your data files intact. Either way, all of your settings will return to their defaults and apps will be uninstalled.
• Select “Just remove my files” or “Remove files and clean the drive” if you chose to “remove everything” in the prior step. Cleaning the drive takes a lot longer but will make sure that, if you are giving the computer away, the next person will have a hard time recovering your erased files. If you are keeping the computer, choose “Just remove my files.”
• Click Next if Windows warns you that you won’t be able to roll back to a prior version of the OS. Click Reset when prompted.
• Windows will then restart and take several minutes to reset itself. Click Continue when prompted.
