The BSOD is one of the joys of working with Windows. Like it or loathe it, the BSOD is a fact of life and we are all better off working with it than against it. One BSOD many Windows 10 upgraders got to see was an UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION error message. This can be caused by any number of things so we need to be systematic in our approach.
Fix UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION error message
First we need to find out what caused the error.
1. Type or paste ‘Event Viewer’ into the Search Windows box.
2. Navigate to Windows Logs in the left pane and click Applications, Security or System.
3. Work through each looking for critical errors or mention of UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION. You may see mention of it but you may not.
4. Work through any errors you see by repairing or reinstalling apps or programs mentioned.
Troubleshooting the UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION error message
Try each of these steps, giving the system a little time between them to work. If the error continues to occur, move to the next step and try again.
1. Open Control Panel and navigate to Devices and Sound.
2. Select Device Manager.
3. In the Device Manager window, look for yellow warning triangles which could indicate driver issues or conflicts.
4. Update drivers as necessary by right clicking on the device and selecting Update Driver Software.
5. Make sure Windows apps are properly installed by typing or pasting ‘Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"’ into a PowerShell window.
6. Navigate to Settings, Update and Security, Windows Updates and make sure all updates are installed.
7. Open a CMD window as an administrator and type or paste ‘sfc /scannow’. This will scan the file system for errors.
8. Open a CMD window as an administrator and type or paste ‘chkdsk /f /r’. This will check the disk for errors.
9. Finally, boot your system from Windows 10 install media and select Repair. Follow the instructions to repair your system while keeping your files.
