Key notes
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION or vhdmp.sys is an error on Windows 10 that appears due to a corrupt or missing core system file.
The SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION BSOD error means that the missing or corrupt file is the Vhdmp.sys, also known as the VHD Miniport Driver.
In this article, we look into ways to resolve the error causing a blue screen in Windows 10.
What causes vhdmp.sys failure?
Vhdmp.sys is a system driver file related to Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) and Virtual Machine (VM) functionality on Windows operating systems. It is responsible for managing virtual hard disk storage and providing access.
A failure in vhdmp.sys can occur due to several reasons, including:
If vhdmp.sys fails, it can result in various system errors and issues, including blue screen errors, system crashes, and data loss.
How can I fix vhdmp.sys blue screen error?
1. Use a third-party repair tool
BSoD errors are severe because they impede the whole system from running, and the SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION error is, ironically, no exception.
However there are a few solutions to this problem, but by far, the most convenient and stress-free one is to usespecialized softwareto fix system errors.
2. Check for malfunctioning drivers
3. Check for RAM corruption.
If you are notified that you have bad RAM at the end of the test, you will have to replace it. This will most likely resolve the vhdmp.sys error.
A corrupt RAM can also sometimes result in the Vhdmp.sys BSOD error on Windows. If you have multiple sticks of RAM installed in your PC, you can take each out and see if either one is causing the problem.
Removing the faulty one should resolve the issue if theerror stems from a bad RAM stick.
4. Use a System Restore Point
The system restore process will now start. Once the process is complete, restart your computer. This will most likely fix the problem.
Usingsystem restorecan restore your computer to a state from an earlier date to avoid this problem altogether.
If the reason behind the System_Service_Exception (Vhdmp.sys) BSOD error showing up on your computer is due to some recent change, this should fix the problem.
Note: This option is only available if you have created a restore point before the error appears.
