  1. Windows 10 Game DVR crashes computer. $Thread stuck in device driver$


    Just what the title says. Almost any game I try to record using Game DVR crashes my computer with the "Thread stuck in device driver" Error report. I used to be able to record just fine and I'm not sure what happened. I also tried updating drivers but that
    still didn't work.

    I'm not sure what to do about fixing this or if its' even possible. I can live without it but its' nice to be able to use that feature. Windows 10 Game DVR crashes computer. $Thread stuck in device driver$ :)

    Whenever I'm playing any Microsoft related game like Roblox and Minecraft my pc crashes and says THREADS STUCK IN DEVICE DRIVER

    Hey Sam,

    The Windows 10 Thread Stuck In Device Driver error is caused by a driver file being caught in an endless loop while it waits for the hardware to enter idle state. This is usually a driver problem and rarely hardware. Thankfully,
    a driver or BIOS update can fix it.

    The fault usually results in a BSOD crash. If you can boot into your desktop long enough, perform the steps below. If the desktop won’t stay loaded for long enough, boot your computer into safe mode using the installation
    media and do it from there.

    Fix Windows 10 Thread Stuck In Device Driver error

    Performing a series of updates will usually fix this error.

    1. Update your graphics and audio drivers to the latest versions.

    2. Perform Windows update and install all updates.

    3. Update your motherboard BIOS to the latest version.

    Performing a BIOS update is a serious process and instructions vary depending on motherboard manufacturer. Fortunately, most newer boards offer simple upgrade paths that can be performed from within Windows (if you can
    load it) or from USB. Many users I have spoken to said that their error disappeared after updating their BIOS so it is well worth considering.

    Fix for ATI-based laptops

    Windows 10 Thread Stuck In Device Driver errors have occurred on quite a few laptops that use ATI graphics cards. Here’s how to fix it.

    1. Navigate to Control Panel, Hardware and Sound and Power Options.

    2. Select ‘Change plan settings’ next to the selected preferred plan.

    3. Select ‘Change advanced power settings.

    4. Find ATI Graphics Power Settings and select ‘maximized performance’.

    5. Click Save changes and reboot.

    Hope this helps

    can't play any game error code 0x803f8001

    I appreciate the response.

    Make sure to update your Windows, Device Drivers, Xbox and gaming services app:

    Windows:

    Press the Start button on the taskbar, type settings, and then select Settings.

    On Windows 10, select Update & Security. On Windows 11, select Windows Update.

    On the Windows Update page, select Check for updates to see if any updates are available for your device.

    Once the updates have downloaded, select Install now to start the installation.

    Following installation, we recommend that you restart your device so that the latest updates can take effect.

    Device Drivers:

    For the best game performance, make sure your system’s video card drivers (or display adapter drivers) are up to date. Drivers are available on the support website for your computer manufacturer, or if your computer system is custom built, on the video card manufacturer’s support website. Updating video card drivers can resolve game crashes, improve frame rates, and improve overall game performance.

    Xbox and gaming services:

    Press the Start button on the taskbar, type store, and open the Microsoft Store app.

    Select Library.

    Under Updates & downloads, check if there are any updates available for the Xbox app or Gaming Services app. If an update is available, select Update.

    Then sign out and re-sign in your account to see if it works.
