That error usually points to a driver or low level system component misbehaving, and on Windows 11 I’d start simple. Make sure all Windows updates are installed, then update or roll back recently changed drivers, especially graphics, storage, and antivirus drivers. If you’ve ever enabled overclocking, virtualization tweaks, or memory tuning in BIOS, reset everything to defaults and update the BIOS for your exact CPU and motherboard. Run sfc /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to rule out system file issues. If the crashes stop in Safe Mode, that’s a strong sign a third party driver is the trigger.
If the system won’t boot or becomes too unstable, your best move is to protect your data first. Use Windows Recovery to open Command Prompt and copy files to an external drive, or boot from a Linux live USB to grab your files without stressing Windows at all.
On Windows 11 especially, firmware issues can absolutely trigger these crashes even when everything “used to work fine.” I’ve seen outdated BIOS versions and leftover overclock profiles cause random boot loops and blue screens once Windows updates security features under the hood. Resetting BIOS to defaults and updating it for your exact CPU is a smart first move. For data safety, using WinRE or a Linux USB to copy files is the least risky option, and I’d only suggest something like Stellar Data Recovery if the drive won’t mount or the files are clearly corrupted. Otherwise, fixing the firmware side usually brings the system right back.
This usually isn’t recovery anymore, it’s repair. Recovery tools won’t help if files already exist but are corrupted.
Quick check: copy them to another drive first. Don’t work directly from the SD card again.
Tried Preview and Photos. Haven’t tried Lightroom yet.
Did you try opening them in something other than the default viewer? Lightroom or Photoshop sometimes reads partially broken files.
I’m encountering the 0x800F081F error code on my Windows 11 system while installing updates or enabling Windows features, and the process keeps failing. I suspect it may be caused by missing or corrupted system files or update components. What are the most effective methods to resolve this error, and if some important files were lost or damaged during troubleshooting, can data recovery software be used to recover them?

I’m encountering Error 0x80070091 on my Windows PC while trying to restore the system or manage folders, and the message indicates that the directory is not empty or accessible. I’m worried this may be due to corrupted files or improper deletion. What are the proven methods to fix this error safely, and if some important files were lost or became inaccessible during the process, can data recovery software help retrieve them?
That’s what confused me. I literally saw them once. Now nothing opens.
I’m facing the 0xc00000e5 error code on my Windows 11/10 system, which is preventing applications from opening and sometimes causing system instability. I believe this could be due to corrupted system files, malware infection, or missing application data. What methods are effective to resolve this error, and if important files were affected or deleted during troubleshooting, is it possible to recover them using reliable data recovery software?
I’m getting an Exception Access Violation error on my Windows system while running an application, which causes it to crash unexpectedly. I suspect it might be related to corrupted system files, faulty memory, or accidentally deleted program data. What are the best ways to diagnose and fix this error, and if critical files were lost during the crash, can data recovery software be used to recover them?
I encountered the “ No Qt Platform Plugin Could Be Initialized” error on my Windows system while launching an application, and after troubleshooting, I’m concerned that some required files or plugins may have been corrupted or accidentally deleted. What are the recommended steps to fix this error, and in cases where important application files are missing, can data recovery software help restore them safely?
If previews showed earlier, data might be there but file structure is messed up. Happens a lot with SD cards.
That makes sense. Recovery tools kept finding files but they stayed broken.
