Pool corruption in file area windows 10 ошибка

Сегодня мы будем с вами разбирать очередной синий экран смерти — POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA. Данный критический сбой или же BSoD(в дальнейшем будет использоваться именно это сокращение) представляет собой крайне неприятную проблему, встретиться с которой способны владельцы абсолютно всех версий операционной системы Windows. По-сути, POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA является указателем на то, что какой-то драйвера в ОС повредил память пула, содержащего в себе страницы, которые были выделены под диск.

Проще говоря, какой-то из драйверов для оборудования на вашем компьютере начал изрядно сбоить, что привело к тотальной нестабильности всю операционную систему. Стоит заметить, что POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA может как появляться время от времени, так и полностью блокировать систему, если верить утверждения пользователей в сети. Если вы столкнулись с последним случаем, то вам нужно попробовать ввести свой ПК в безопасный режим с загрузкой сетевых драйверов.

Как исправить BSoD POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA?

Итак, прежде чем мы перейдем к рассмотрению путей устранения критического сбоя 0x000000DE с параметром POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA — давайте посмотрим, что нужно сделать тем пользователям, у которых данный BSoD блокирует вход в систему.

Безопасный режим с загрузкой сетевых драйверов

Вход в Безопасный режим мы будем показывать на примере операционной системы Windows 10, так как на данный момент она является наиболее распространенной среди пользователей. Учитывая заблокированную синим экраном смерти систему, легче всего войти в Безопасный режим будет через среду восстановления, доступ к которой можно запросто получить с помощью установочного носителя с Windows 10.

Найдите — или же создайте самостоятельно — подобный носитель, а затем загрузитесь через него. Загрузившись через установщик Windows, далее вам понадобится выбрать время, язык и прочее, а затем нажать на кнопку «Восстановление системы» — вы окажетесь в среде восстановления Windows 10. Теперь давайте войдем в нужный нам Безопасный режим с загрузкой сетевых драйверов:

1. выберите раздел Поиск и устранение неполадок;
2. выберите подраздел Дополнительные параметры;
3. далее выберите пункт Параметры загрузки;
4. нажмите на кнопку F5, чтобы активировать опцию Включить безопасный режим с загрузкой сетевых драйверов;
5. выполните перезагрузку и войдите в систему.

Как правило, POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA удается обойти, таким образом получив хоть какой-то ограниченный доступ к функционалу системы. Если же у вас не получилось войти в Безопасный режим, т.е. BSoD все еще появляется, то тогда мы рекомендуем вам попытаться использовать точку восстановления(пункт можно найти в среде восстановления) или же переустановить операционную систему, так как это наиболее эффективный и, что более важно, быстрый способ избавиться от BSoD POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA.

Если же у вас вышло войти в систему через Безопасный режим — следуйте нижеуказанным шагам, чтобы попытаться установить возникшую с ПК неприятность.

Устранение POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA на Windows 10

Ок, давайте теперь перейдем к разбору действий, которые помогут избавиться вам от BSoD POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA. Как мы уже говорили в самом начале материала, нестабильность системы была вызвана драйвером для какого-то оборудования в вашем ПК. Вы можете запросто узнать, какой это был драйвер с помощью дампа оперативной памяти. В дампе как раз и будет необходимая вам информация.

Дамп памяти — это не текстовый файл, который вы можете прочесть с помощью обычного Блокнота. Чтобы достать нужную информацию из дампа, вам придется воспользоваться программой под названием BlueScreenView. Это программное обеспечение распространяется по Интернету совершенно бесплатно, так что вы можете загрузить его с любого веб-ресурса, которому можно доверять.

Стоит заметить, что в Windows 10 должен создаваться так называемый «автоматический дамп-памяти», если в операционной системе возникнет какой-то критический сбой. Сохраняться этот дамп должен в директорию C:\Windows. Однако, как отмечают некоторые пользователи в сети, данная функция порой может быть отключена в настройках системы. Пройдите в указанную директорию и проверьте, находится ли там созданный после BSoD’а дамп-памяти.

Если же нет, то вам придется активировать функцию по созданию оного, а затем вызвать BSoD повторно, чтобы нужная информация была записана в дампе. Давайте же посмотрим, что вам нужно нажать для активирования создания дампов:

1.  нажмите на клавиатуре Windows+S;
2. впишите в поисковик Панель управления и выберите результат;
3. найдите и откройте элемент под названием Система;
4. перейдите по ссылке Дополнительные параметры системы с левой стороны;
5. перейдите во вкладку Дополнительно;
6. нажмите на кнопку Параметры в разделе Загрузка и восстановление;
7. выберите из ниспадающего меню Запись отладочной информации пункт Малый дамп памяти (256 KB);
8. сохраните изменения и вызовите BSoD POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA.

Как только у вас снова получится вызвать критический сбой в работе системы, вам нужно загрузить на свой компьютер такую программу, как BlueScreenView, о которой мы уже говорили. Загрузив и запустив программу на своем компьютере, вы увидите на экране небольшое окошко BlueScreenBlue, поделенное на две части: верхняя часть отвечает за список малых дампов памяти, а нижная — элементы в системе, которые вызвали критический сбой.

Именно в нижней части окошка BlueScreenView вы и увидите выделенным красным цветом драйвера, которые вызвали POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA. Как правило, вверху нижнего окна будет выделен один драйвер. Дальше вам нужно сделать следующее: «загуглить» название драйвера в Интернете и отталкиваться от решения проблемы в зависимости от самого драйвера. Например, если BSoD вызывал драйвер для графического адаптера, то вам понадобится переустановить его.

Давайте кратко рассмотрим шаги для переустановки видеодрайвера(вы можете применять эти шаги для любого другого драйвера):

• нажмите правой кнопкой мыши на Пуск;
• выберите пункт Диспетчер устройств;
• найдите в списке раздел Видеоадаптеры и раскройте его;
• нажмите на свою видеокарту правой кнопкой мыши;
• выберите пункт Удалить устройство;
• установите драйвер, загруженный с официального сайта производите графического чипа(Nvidia, AMD, Intel).

Переустановив или удалив какой-то сбоящий драйвер, вы должны устранить BSoD POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA.

You can encounter the POOL CORRUPTION IN FILE AREA stop code on a Windows 10/11 computer due to corrupted files or programs, out-of-date drivers or software, or issues with antivirus software. However, the BSOD 0x000000de error is easy to fix by checking your antivirus settings, upgrading your drivers, checking for hardware problems, updating/restoring your operating system, or restarting your computer.

Let’s examine the problem in more detail and discuss potential reasons and solutions many users found helpful.

POOL CORRUPTION IN FILE AREA – Variations and Causes

Surprisingly, Windows has made the already terrifying blue screen message much more complex by adding incomprehensible, lengthy error codes that represent nothing to a non-technical user.

The most frequent code names and messages for Pool Corruption in File Area are:

• POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA
• 0x000000de

You may encounter the stop code POOL CORRUPTION IN FILE AREA due to outdated drivers or issues with your antivirus software. Most users claim that the problem was resolved as soon as they uninstalled their third-party antivirus. But how can you delete your antivirus software? Let’s go on to the solutions.

How can I fix the POOL CORRUPTION IN FILE AREA error in Windows 10/11?

1. Disable antivirus/firewall

While firewalls and antivirus software are necessary to secure your PC, they can result in BSOD issues. So, if the third-party antivirus is to blame for the Pool Corruption in File Area issue, you have to uninstall it.

Remember that Windows 10 has Windows Defender, which is your default antivirus, so your PC won’t be defenseless even if you uninstall all other third-party antivirus programs.

Furthermore, we should point out that simply removing your antivirus program might not be sufficient; thus, using a file eraser software, such as Stellar File Eraser is suggested. These utilities eliminate any antivirus-related files and any leftover traces.

• Download and install the Stellar File Eraser or any uninstaller software from its official website.
• Launch the application and select Scan.

• The procedure might take up to 20 minutes, depending on the condition of your system. If the process occasionally appears to be halted, remain patient and let it finish.

6. Update Windows

Many operating systems occasionally experience small problems with certain hardware or software, resulting in Blue Screen of Death errors.

We encourage you to get the most recent OS updates if you are experiencing the POOL CORRUPTION IN FILE AREA problem.

You must apply these updates to avoid BSoD errors because many of them enhance system security and address compatibility problems with both hardware and software.

• To access Settings, press Windows + I, then select Update & Security.
• Next, select Check for updates from the right-hand menu.

Картинка с сайта: www.stellarinfo.com

• Download a newer OS version if one is available.

Windows often updates itself automatically unless you have turned off the relevant service that maintains your system updated.

7. Restart your PC

Try restarting your Windows 10 PC as a last resort to solve the Pool corruption in the file area problem. We advise you to back up your files and folders because this process is comparable to a clean install.

If the issue persists even after the reset, it was likely brought on by faulty hardware.

• Type Reset this PC search bar of the Start menu and choose the appropriate search result.

Картинка с сайта: www.stellarinfo.com

• Select the Get started option.
• Now, select the desired settings on each screen and follow the on-screen directions to finish the reset process.

8. Check for faulty hardware

Check your RAM first because hardware issues frequently result in Blue Screen of Death problems. Check to see that it is placed correctly and that there is no carbon or dust buildup. The RAM may need to be removed and then reseated to work.

Check other important parts like the motherboard and processor to see whether your RAM is functioning correctly. Or a better choice would be to ask a professional to check your case and its components.

What should I do if my computer won’t boot up?

If your computer won’t boot up or displays the BSoD error as soon as it boots up, you should take it to a specialist and ask for a clean Windows install. However, before you do so, you should back up your files because the clean install will delete them.

Some recovery apps can only recover your information once the computer has successfully booted up. But note that Stellar Data Recovery Professional can recover your files from an unbootable computer.

Stellar Data Recovery Professional for Windows helps recover your lost files from the chosen hard disk. You may create bootable CDs to rescue your files from a non-booting computer.

Errors

This tutorial contains information on Error 0xDE or otherwise known as POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA. Errors such as POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA indicate your machine has faulty hardware or software that should be fixed when possible. Below is information on how to repair Error 0xDE and get your computer back to normal.

What Causes Blue Screen Errors Like Error 0xDE?

The reason could be attributed to both hardware and software like Windows Operating System, when it was installed on your machine. BSOD may occur due to some hardware malfunctioning or it may be due to a poorly written or an incompatible device driver. The frequently encountered hardware issues triggering a BSOD event could be an overclocked component, defective memory, overheating or power supply related issues. BSOD screen indicates the nature of the issue.

How to Fix POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA

Follow the step by step instructions below to fix the Error 0xDE problem. We recommend you do each in order. If you wish to skip these steps because they are too time consuming or you are not a computer expert, see our easier solution below.

Step 1 — Uninstall and Reinstall Windows Operating System

If the POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA is a result of using Windows Operating System, you may want to try reinstalling it and see if the problem is fixed. Please follow these steps:

Step 2 — Remove Registry Entry related to Error 0xDE

WARNING: Do NOT edit the Windows Registry unless you absolutely know what you are doing. You may end up causing more trouble than you start with. Proceed at your OWN RISK.

1. Create a backup of registry files.
2. Click “Start”.
3. Type regedit, select it, and grant permission in order to proceed.
4. Click HKEY LOCAL MACHINE>>SOFTWARE>>Microsoft>>Windows>>Current Version>>Uninstall.
5. Find the POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA software from the list you wish to uninstall.
6. Select the software and double click the UninstallString icon on the right side.
7. Copy the highlighted text.
8. Exit and go to the search field.
9. Paste the data.
10. Select Okay in order to uninstall the program.
11. Reinstall the software.

Step 3 – Ensure Junk Isn’t Causing POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA

Any space that isn’t regularly cleaned out tends to accumulate junk. Your personal computer is no exception. Constant web browsing, installation of applications, and even browser thumbnail caches slow down your device and in the absence of adequate memory, can also trigger a POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA error.

So how do you get around this problem?

• You can either use the Disk Cleanup Tool that comes baked into your Windows operating system.
• Or you can use a more specialized hard drive clean up solution that does a thorough job and flushes the most stubborn temporary files from your system.

Both solutions may take several minutes to complete the processing of your system data if you haven’t conducted a clean up in a while.
The browser caches are almost a lost cause because they tend to fill up quite rapidly, thanks to our constantly connected and on the go lifestyle.
Here’s how you can run the Window’s Disk Cleanup Tool, without performance issues or surprises.

• For Windows XP and Windows 7, the program can be ran from “Start” and from the “Command Prompt”.
  • Click “Start”, go to All Programs > Accessories > System Tools, click Disk Cleanup. Next choose the type of files you wish to remove, click OK, followed by “Delete Files”.
  • Open up the Command Prompt, type “c:\windows\cleanmgr.exe /d” for XP and “cleanmgr” for Windows 7. Finish by pressing “Enter”.
• For Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, the Disk Cleanup Tool can be accessed directly from “Settings”. Click “Control Panel” and then “Administrative Tools”. You can select the drive that you want to run the clean up on. Select the files you want to get rid of and then click “OK” and “Delete Files”.
• For Windows 10, the process is simplified further. Type Disk Cleanup directly in the search bar and press “Enter”. Choose the drive and then the files that you wish to wipe. Click “OK”, followed by “Delete Files”.

The progressive ease with which the Cleanup Tool can be used points to the growing importance of regularly deleting temporary files and its place in preventing POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA.

PRO TIP:
Remember to run the Disk Cleanup as an administrator.

Step 4 – Fix Infections and Eliminate Malware in Your PC

How do you gauge if your system is infected with a malware and virus?

Well, for one, you may find certain applications misbehaving.

And you may also see the occurrence of Error 0xDE.

Infections and malware are the result of:

• Browsing the Internet using open or unencrypted public Wi-Fi connections
• Downloading applications from unknown and untrustworthy sources
• Intentional planting of viruses in your home and office networks

But thankfully, their impact can be contained.

• Enter “safe mode” by pressing the F8 key repeatedly when your device is restarting. Choose “Safe Mode with Networking” from the Advanced Boot Options menu.
• Back up all the data in your device to a secure location. This is preferably a storage unit that is not connected to your existing network.
• Leave program files as is. They are where the infection generally spreads from and may have been compromised.
• Run a thorough full-system scan or check of an on-demand scanner. If you already have an antivirus or anti-malware program installed, let it do the heavy lifting.
• Restart your computer once the process has run its course.
• Lastly, change all your passwords and update your drivers and operating system.

PRO TIP: Are you annoyed by the frequent updates to your antivirus program? Don’t be! These regular updates add new virus signatures to your software database for exponentially better protection.

Step 5 – Return to the Past to Eliminate Error 0xDE

The steps outlined up until this point in the tutorial should have fixed POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA error. But the process of tracking what has caused an error is a series of educated guesses. So in case the situation persists, move to Step 5.

Windows devices give users the ability to travel back in time and restore system settings to an uncorrupted, error free state.
This can be done through the convenient “System Restore” program. The best part of the process is the fact that using System Restore doesn’t affect your personal data. There is no need to take backups of new songs and pictures in your hard drive.

• Open “Control Panel” and click on “System & Security”.
• Choose the option “System”.
• To the left of the modal, click on “System Protection”.
• The System Properties window should pop-up. You’ll be able to see the option “System Restore”. Click on it.
• Go with “Recommended restore” for the path of least hassles and surprises.
• Choose a system restore point (by date) that will guarantee taking your device back to the time when Error 0xDE hasn’t been triggered yet.
• Tap “Next” and wrap up by clicking “Finish”.

If you’re using Windows 7 OS, you can reach “System Restore” by following the path Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools.

Step 6 — Error 0xDE Caused by Outdated Drivers

Updating a driver is not as common as updating your operating system or an application used to run front-end interface tasks.

Drivers are software snippets in charge of the different hardware units that keep your device functional.

So when you detect an POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA error, updating your drivers may be a good bet. But it is time consuming and shouldn’t be viewed as a quick fix.

Here’s the step-by-step process you can go through to update drivers for Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.

• Check the site of your hardware maker for the latest versions of all the drivers you need. Download and extract them. We strongly advice going with original drivers. In most cases, they are available for free on the vendor website. Installing an incompatible driver causes more problems than it can ever fix.
• Open “Device Manager” from the Control Panel.
• Go through the various hardware component groupings and choose the ones you would like to update.
• On Windows 10 and Windows 8, right-click on the icon of the hardware you would like to update and click “Update Driver”.
• On Windows 7 and Vista, you right-click the hardware icon, choose “Properties”, navigate to the Driver panel, and then click “Update Driver”.
• Next you can let your device automatically search for the most compatible drivers, or you can choose to update the drivers from the versions you have on your hard drive. If you have an installer disk, then the latter should be your preferred course of action. The former may often get the driver selection incorrect.
• You may need to navigate a host of warnings from the Windows OS as you finalize the driver update. These include “Windows can’t verify that the driver is compatible” and “Windows can’t verify the publisher of this driver”. If you know that you have the right one in line, click “Yes”.
• Restart the system and hopefully the POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA error should have been fixed.

Step 7 – Call the Windows System File Checker into Action

By now the POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA plaguing your device should have been fixed. But if you haven’t resolved the issue yet, you can explore the Windows File Checker option.

With the Windows File Checker, you can audit all the system files your device needs to operate, locate missing ones, and restore them.
Sound familiar? It is almost like “System Restore”, but not quite. The System Restore essentially takes you back in time to a supposedly perfect set up of system files. The File Checker is more exhaustive.

It identifies what is amiss and fills the gaps.

• First and foremost, open up an elevated command prompt.
• Next, if you are using Windows 8, 8.1 or 10, enter “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” into the window and press Enter.
• The process of running the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool may take several minutes.
• Once it completes, type the following command into the prompt “sfc /scannow”.
• Your device will now go through all protected files and if it detects an anomaly, it will replace the compromised version with a cached version that resides at %WinDir%\System32\dllcache.

Step 8 – Is your RAM Corrupted? Find Out.

Is it possible? Can the memory sticks of your device trigger Error 0xDE?

It is unlikely – because the RAM chips have no moving parts and consume little power. But at this stage, if all else has failed, diagnosing your RAM may be a good move.

You can use the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool to get the job done. Users who are on a Linux or Mac and are experiencing crashes can use memtest86.

• Open up your device and go straight to the “Control Panel”.
• Click on “Administrative Tools”.
• Choose “Windows Memory Diagnostic”.
• What this built-in option does is it burns an ISO image of your RAM and boots the computer from this image.
• The process takes a while to complete. Once it is done, the “Status” field at the bottom of the screen populates with the result of the diagnosis. If there are no issues with your RAM/memory, you’ll see “No problems have been detected”.

One drawback of the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool pertains to the number of passes it runs and the RAM segments it checks.

Memtest86 methodically goes over all the segments of your memory – irrespective of whether it is occupied or not.

But the Windows alternative only checks the occupied memory segments and may be ineffective in gauging the cause of the POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA error.

Step 9 – Is your Hard Drive Corrupted? Find Out.

Your RAM or working memory isn’t the only culprit that may precipitate an POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA error. The hard drive of your device also warrants close inspection.

The symptoms of hard drive error and corruption span:

• Frequent crashes and the Blue Screen of Death (BSoD).
• Performance issues like excessively slow responses.
• Errors like Error 0xDE.

Hard drives are definitely robust, but they don’t last forever.

There are three things that you can do to diagnose the health of your permanent memory.

• It is possible that your device may have a hard time reading your drive. This can be the cause of an POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA error. You should eliminate this possibility by connecting your drive to another device and checking for the recurrence of the issue. If nothing happens, your drive health is okay.
• Collect S.M.A.R.T data by using the WMIC (Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line) in the command prompt. To do this, simply type “wmic” into the command prompt and press Enter. Next follow it up with “diskdrive get status”. The S.M.A.R.T status reading is a reliable indicator of the longevity of your drive.
• Fix what’s corrupt. Let’s assume you do find that all isn’t well with your hard drive. Before you invest in an expensive replacement, using Check Disk or chkdsk is worth a shot.
  • Open the command prompt. Make sure you are in Admin mode.
  • Type “chkdsk C: /F /X /R” and press “Enter”. “C” here is the drive letter and “R” recovers data, if possible, from the bad sectors.
  • Allow the system to restart if the prompt shows up.
  • And you should be done.

These steps can lead to the resolution you’re seeking. Otherwise the POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA may appear again. If it does, move to Step 10.

Step 10 – Update Windows OS

Like the software applications you use to render specific tasks on your device, the Operating System also requires periodic updates.
Yes, we’ve all heard the troubling stories.

Devices often develop problems post unfinished updates that do not go through. But these OS updates include important security patches. Not having them applied to your system leaves it vulnerable to viruses and malware.

And may also trigger Error 0xDE.

So here’s how Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 users can check for the latest updates and push them through:

• Click the “Start” button on the lower left-hand corner of your device.
• Type “Updates” in the search bar. There should be a “Windows Update” or “Check for Updates” option, based on the OS version you’re using.
• Click it. The system will let you know if any updates are available.
• You have the convenience of choosing the components of the update you’d like to push through. Always prioritize the security updates.
• Click “OK” followed by “Install Updates”.

Step 11 – Refresh the OS to Eliminate Persistent POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA Error

“Windows Refresh” is a lifesaver.

For those of you who are still with us and nothing has worked to eliminate the Error 0xDE, until recently, a fresh install of Windows would have been the only option.

Not anymore.

The Windows Refresh is similar to reinstalling your Windows OS, but without touching your personal data. That’s hours of backup time saved in a jiffy.

Through the Refresh, all your system files become good as new. The only minor annoyance is the fact that any custom apps you’ve installed are gone and the system applications you had uninstalled are back.

Still, it is the best bet as the final step of this process.

• Enter the “Settings” of your PC and click on “Change Settings”.
• Click “Update and recovery” and then choose “Recovery”.
• Select “Keep my files”. This removes apps and settings, but lets your personal files live on.
• You’ll get some warning messages about the apps that will be uninstalled. If you’ve gone through a recent OS upgrade, the Refresh process makes it so that you can’t go back to your previous OS version – if you should ever feel the need to do it.
• Click the “Refresh” button.

Are you using an older version of Windows that doesn’t come with the power to “Refresh”?

Maybe it is time to start from scratch.

• Enter your BIOS set-up.
• This is where you need to change your computer’s boot order. Make it so that the boot happens not from the existing system files, but from the CD/DVD Drive.
• Place the original Windows disk in the CD/DVD drive.
• Turn on or restart the device.
• Choose where you’d like the system files to be installed.
• Your PC will restart several times as the process runs its course.

FAQ’s
