Blue screen since installing a plugin
kaneagle Posted messages 86256 Registration date Status Moderator Last intervention -
Hello,
Since I installed a driver, my PC keeps crashing with a blue screen on startup.
On the blue screen, it says:
"Stop code: SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED
Failed items: hswultpep.sys"
I booted into safe mode which led me to find out (maybe) that it's the Intel power engine plugin that caused this problem.
How can I uninstall it or fix this issue?
Thank you in advance.

Hello,
Try performing a system restore in safe mode and choose a date prior to the issue.
Windows + R
Type --> rstrui.exe and click OK.
Run an sfc:
Windows key + X
Select --> Windows PowerShell (admin) or Windows Terminal (admin)
Type --> sfc /scannow and hit enter
A system file check will be performed.
Next, run this command:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
It says
Error: 87
The cleanup-image option is unknown.
For more information, refer to the help by running DISM.exe /?.
The DISM log file is located at X: \windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log
What should I do?
I heard that completely resetting the PC fixes the problem, and since I don't have much on it, I can do it.
But if I can avoid it, all the better.
