As a matter of fact, if you are a Windows user that has not yet encountered any sight of the Blue Screen of Death problem, then you are a rare specimen. This error is unique only to the Windows operating system. The Blue Screen of Death has been around for as long as we can remember. This brings us to the question of why Microsoft has not fixed this problem. Well, to answer this question, you need to know the origin of the problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Blue Screen of Death occurs when your system encounters an unknown error which it cannot fix. Most of the time, minor errors occur within your operating system, but they get repaired without you knowing. But if this error overpowers your operating system\u2019s protective or repair mechanisms, you will most likely encounter the Blue Screen of Death error. Once you encounter the error, your system will restart immediately to prevent further damage. This can be very problematic because you will lose any unsaved data you are working on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Blue Screen of Death contains important information which can help you solve the problem. Also, you need to take note of what you were doing when you encountered the issue because it is also vital for the solution. Sometimes, it is difficult to identify the particular error from the Blue Screen of Death because your PC restarts immediately after the error. But your computer creates a log file for the error, which can be accessed from the Event Viewer. This log will give you all the information you need about this error, which will help with the solution, and you can also send the log to Microsoft to increase user experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To access the log file, use the following steps:<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click on the File Explorer icon on the taskbar.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right-click on This PC and select Manage.

Repair Registry files which are connected with the SYSTEM_EXIT_OWNED_MUTEX error<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Windows registry is a powerful tool within the operating system. It contains the database for all configuration settings in the operating system. You can look at the Registry as the DNA for the Windows operating system. This implies that if you have problems with your Registry, lots of errors can occur in your system, including the SYSTEM_EXIT_OWNED_MUTEX error. We strongly advise you not to make changes to the Registry if you are unsure or you are not under proper guidance. It is unwise to poke around and edit the registry because changing the wrong values can cause more damage. That is why we recommend that you use third-party registry editors to do the job for you. Before making changes to the Registry, it is wise to make a backup of it, and here is how:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Press the Windows logo key + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Input regedit in the search area and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right-click on Computer and select Export. You will be prompted to save the file as .reg.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, you can make changes without having to worry about your Registry..<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solution 2. Perform a virus scan of your computer<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many ways by which viruses can affect your system. The Blue Screen of Death is one of the results of a virus attack on your system. The virus will damage and corrupt important files needed for your system to function, which can lead to the SYSTEM_EXIT_OWNED_MUTEX error. To fix this problem, we recommend that you download and install Auslogics Anti-Malware to protect your system against any invading viruses. This tool will also clear any viruses which are in your PC. It also allows you to browse the internet in a much safer environment. The virus definition of this anti-virus is updated on a regular basis.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solution 3. Update your computer device drivers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another important reason why you may encounter the SYSTEM_EXIT_OWNED_MUTEX error is because of corrupt, missing, or outdated drivers. Drivers are needed for your computer to work smoothly. If they are not present, the communication between the hardware and the operating system will be broken, thus leading to the SYSTEM_EXIT_OWNED_MUTEX error. That is why we will show you the best ways to get the latest versions of your device drivers:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Method 1. Download and install\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/software\/driver-updater\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Auslogics Driver Updater<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is one of the best tools for updating your drivers. It is very reliable and fast. This tool will download and install all your drivers in just one click. After you install the program, it will scan your system for all outdated or missing drivers and install their latest versions. It eliminates the issues of downloading the wrong driver, and it also saves you a lot of time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Method 2. Download the drivers from the manufacturer\u2019s site<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This method needs to be followed accurately. You need to know lots of detail about the device whose driver you want to update, such as the name and version. This is important because downloading the wrong driver may cause other problems with your PC. The drivers are usually located in the support section of the site.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Method 3. Download the driver, using Device Manager<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Device Manager is a system tool that manages all the devices which are connected to your PC. This means that you will also be able to update your drivers from here. To do this:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right-click on the Start or Home button and select Device Manager.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right-click on the driver you want to update and select Update driver.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the next window, select the option to download and install it from the internet.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Windows will now install the latest driver for your device.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solution 4. Reinstall the Sound Blaster driver<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, just updating the drivers from the Device Manager will not solve the problem; you need to uninstall some of them completely from your system. To do this, use the following steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right-click on the Start or Home button and select Device Manager.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right-click on the Sound Blaster driver and select Uninstall.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the driver is uninstalled, restart your system for the change to take place.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When your system restarts, Windows will automatically install the correct driver.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solution 5. Delete all the junk files from your system, using Disk Cleanup Manager<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Junk files accumulate and take up space in your hard drive. These junk files accumulate as a result of browsing the internet or other activities on your PC. Most often, junk files can be corrupted by viruses, which can lead to the SYSTEM_EXIT_OWNED_MUTEX error. To fix this, you need to delete all the junk files in your PC:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Press the Windows logo key + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Input cleanmgr in the search area and press Enter. This will open the Disk Cleanup dialog box.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click Clean up system files.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, check all the boxes under the Files to delete option and click OK.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Windows will now clean all the junk files from your system.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will be surprised at the amount of space freed on your disk drive.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solution 6. Restore your computer to an earlier date, using System Restore<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can fix the SYSTEM_EXIT_OWNED_MUTEX error by restoring your system to how it was at an earlier date. Restoring your PC to an earlier date will revert all the changes made to your system files and settings after that date. This process only affects system files and settings. You should not be scared that you will lose data. To perform a system restore, you should have existing restore points in your system. You PC is capable of creating restore points when important changes want to occur in your system. Here is how to perform a system restore:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click on the Start or Home button and input Recovery in the search box. Select Recovery from the list of results.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Recovery dialog box, click Open System Restore to open the System Restore panel. Click Next to proceed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, you will see the list of points you can restore your system to. Select a point before you began experiencing the SYSTEM_EXIT_OWNED_MUTEX error and click Next.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow the instructions of the wizard to complete the process.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is also another way to perform the system restore. This method comes in handy when your computer is incapable of booting into the desktop due to the Blue Screen of Death. If your computer fails to boot into the desktop several times, it will open the System Startup Repair. Go to the Choose an option screen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, navigate to the following location: Troubleshoot &gt; Advanced options &gt; System Restore. Run the System Restore tool and check if your problem has been solved.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solution 7. Uninstall any SYSTEM_EXIT_OWNED_MUTEX error-related program<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you encountered the SYSTEM_EXIT_OWNED_MUTEX error after you installed a new program on your PC, it would be wise to uninstall it and check if the problem is resolved.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click on the Start or Home button and input Control Panel in the search box. Select Control Panel from the list of results.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click Uninstall a program from the available options.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will now see a list of installed programs in your system.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Select the program recently installed and click Uninstall to delete the program from your system.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may also need to go to Program Files and delete the remnants of the program left.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solution 8. Use the System File Checker<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will be able to fix issues with your system files, using the System File Checker. Use the following steps to run the System File Checker:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right-click on the Start or Home button and select Command Prompt (Admin) to run it as an administrator.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the Command Prompt window opens, input sfc \/scannow and press Enter.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The System File Checker will begin scanning your system files for errors and try to fix them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once it is done, restart your PC and check if the error has been resolved.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solution 9. Make sure your operating system is up to date<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Windows updates may also include updated versions of your drivers, or even contain the fix for the Blue Screen of Death. If many users are encountering the same problem, Microsoft will provide a fix, using Windows updates. Here is how to update your PC:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click on the Start or Home menu and click on the gear icon to open the Settings app.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click Updates and Security from the list of options available.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go to the Windows update tab and click Check for updates.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Windows will now search the internet for updates for your system and install them.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solution 10. Check your hard drive and other hardware for errors.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Issues with your hard drive and other hardware, especially HDMI devices, can cause the SYSTEM_EXIT_OWNED_MUTEX error. You should disable HDMI devices which are connected to you PC. Also, you need to check your hard drive for errors:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right-click on the Start or Home button and select Command Prompt (Admin) to run it as an administrator.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Command Prompt Box, input chkdsk \/f and press Enter.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This tool will start scanning your hard drive for corruption and will fix any errors found.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Restart your PC when the scan is done and check if the error has been resolved.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solution 11. Check your Memory for errors<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You also need to check your PC for Memory (RAM) issues. They may be the reason for the SYSTEM_EXIT_OWNED_MUTEX error. You can check if your RAM has issues, using the following steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click on the Start or Home button and input Memory in the search box. Select Windows Memory Diagnostics from the list of results to open the Windows Memory Diagnostic dialog box.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click Restart now and check for problems. The tool will begin checking for issues with your Memory. When it is done, it will try to fix them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should consider changing the RAM if the computer finds any issues.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solution 12. Troubleshoot the Blue Screen of Death<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microsoft built in a troubleshooter in the Windows operating system to fix common issues encountered by users. Use the following steps to run the troubleshooter:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right-click on the Start or Home button and select Settings in the pop-up menu to open the Settings app.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click on Update and Security from the list of options available.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Select the Troubleshoot tab, and click Blue Screen.

Perform a clean boot or your system<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Performing a clean boot makes sure that your PC restarts only with the vital services required to function. This ensures that any app or service which causes the SYSTEM_EXIT_OWNED_MUTEX error is disabled and can be identified. To perform a clean boot, use the following steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Press the Windows logo key + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Input msconfig in the search area and click OK to open the System Configuration window.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Navigate to the General tab, and click Selective startup.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, uncheck the Load startup items box.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Navigate to the Services tab, check the Hide all Microsoft services box, then click Disable all.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Navigate to the Startup tab and click Open Task Manager to open the Startup tab in Task Manager.
