How Can I Fix the wdfilter.sys Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Error on Windows?
Hi everyone,
My Windows PC recently crashed and showed a Blue Screen of Death pointing to wdfilter.sys. I’m not sure what caused it, and I’m worried about losing my files while trying to fix it.
Has anyone experienced this before? What’s the safest way to resolve the wdfilter.sys BSOD error and prevent it from happening again? Step-by-step solutions would be really helpful.
Thanks!

The wdfilter.sys BSOD is usually caused by faulty or outdated drivers or corrupted system files. To fix it safely, boot into Safe Mode if needed, update or roll back storage and system drivers, and run sfc /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth in an administrator Command Prompt. Install any pending Windows updates and scan for malware. If the issue started after installing new software, uninstall it. These steps usually fix the BSOD without affecting your files.
