Q:

How to Fix the Intelppm.sys BSoD in Windows?

Hi,
I’ve started getting a Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) related to intelppm.sys on my Windows PC. It happens randomly, sometimes during startup or while using the system normally.

I haven’t made any major hardware changes, but I did install some recent Windows updates.

Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it? A simple step-by-step solution would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Since you haven’t done these yet, start by updating your Intel and other drivers. Then run the DISM and SFC scans to check for system file issues. After that, uninstall the recent Windows updates that might have caused the problem. Also, run a malware scan just to be sure.

If it’s still not fixed, then you can try disabling the intelppm.sys driver in the registry, but only if nothing else works.

I haven’t updated my Intel or other device drivers yet. I also haven’t run the DISM or SFC system file repair commands. The intelppm.sys BSoD started happening right after a recent Windows update, but I haven’t tried uninstalling those updates to see if that fixes the issue. I haven’t scanned my PC for malware, and I haven’t disabled the intelppm.sys driver by changing the registry Start value to 4.

Have you already updated your Intel and other device drivers and run the DISM and SFC scans? Also, did the intelppm.sys Blue Screen start immediately after a particular Windows update or driver change?

Here’s a simple fix for the intelppm.sys Blue Screen error:

1. Repair system files:

Open Command Prompt as admin.

Run these commands one by one:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
sfc /scannow

Restart your PC.

2. Update drivers:

Open Device Manager.

Update Intel and other drivers.

3. Remove recent Windows updates:

Go to Settings > Update & Security > Uninstall updates.

Remove the latest updates if the problem started after updating.

4. Scan for malware:

Use Windows Defender Offline Scan.

5. Disable intelppm.sys driver (only if needed):

Open Registry Editor (regedit).

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\intelppm.

Change the Start value to 4.

Restart your PC.

That’s it. Let me know if you need help!
