[German<\/a>]The latest Windows 10 updates seem to cause severe problems for some users with a CorsairVBusDriver installed. The systems remain in a Blue Screen boot loop after installing the update.<\/p>\n

Error description in forums<\/h2>\n

\"\"The driver corsairVBusdriver.sys is installed for Corsair keyboards, but has been causing problems for a long time. In Microsoft Answers there is this thread<\/a> which started on Oct 6, 2020. Thread creator writes:<\/p>\n

After running optional system update for Corsair devices, my ASUS RoG G771 laptop is completely unusable.\u00a0 It's stuck in a BSOD reboot loop and not one recovery method is working.\u00a0 I wasn't provided a recovery disk with the laptop and apparently it's unable to boot from USB.\u00a0 I can't even reset the OS because it prompts for an outlook.com password and says the one I provide is incorrect (I've confirmed I am entering the latest password for the account and it's working on other devices).\u00a0 Safe mode doesn't work, either.<\/p>\n

Others have posted this on the Corsair forum and the company doesn't answer. My laptop is now a boat anchor and I'm desperate for a solution…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The machine stucks in a BSOD reboot loop and isn't useable anymore. The thread is already seven pages long, with the latest posts being from December 2020. This MS Answers forum post<\/a> also complains about Blue Sreens constantly occurring, forcing the system into an auto-repair loop with the SYSTEM_THREAD_EXECPTION_NOT_HANDLED stop code, but doing nothing.<\/p>\n

\"Stop<\/p>\n

In the course of the thread, one user expresses that the CorsairVBusDriver.sys<\/em> was updated by a Windows 10 update. On reddit.com you can also find this long thread<\/a>, which was opened yesterday and already has 81 replies. On the Corsair forum I found this thread<\/a> on the topic.<\/p>\n

Corsair Ultility Engine collides with update<\/h2>\n

The colleagues from Bleeping Computer have taken up the issue in this article<\/a>. There, too, they conclude, based on user feedback, that the December 2020 update for various Windows versions conflict with the Corsair Utility Engine software and cause the operating system to enter a BSOD loop with the stop code SYSTEM_THREAD_EXECPTION_NOT_HANDLED.<\/p>\n

Fix by disabling the drivers<\/h2>\n

This problem can only be fixed by disabling the affected Corsair drivers on the affected Windows system. This requires the following steps.<\/p>\n

1. You have to boot into safe mode (press the shift key and let Windows restart, should end up in Windows PE mode).<\/p>\n

2. There the command prompt has to be opened (can be found under Troubleshooting, Advanced Options, Command Prompt) to rename the affected drivers.<\/p>\n

To do this, identify the Windows drive (I always call notepad.exe in Windows PE and go to the Open dialog – it acts like a mini file manager and shows the drives with). notepad.exe<\/em> in Windows PE auf und gehe auf den \u00d6ffnen<\/em>-Dialog – der wirkt wie ein Mini-Dateimanager und zeigt mit die Laufwerke an).<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 In the command prompt, change to the Windows drive with CD <lw:> and then to the following folder:<\/p>\n

<lw:>\\Windows\\system32\\driver<\/p>\n

with the drivers. Rename the Corsair driver with the following command:<\/p>\n

ren corsairvbusdriver.sys corsairvbusdriver.sys.bak<\/p>\n

This command will, of course, shut down the device, but after a reboot, you should be able to run the Windows 10 system without a blue screen. The colleagues at Bleeping Computer go into more detail about the various renaming and uninstalling options in this post<\/a>. The above-linked form posts on MS Answers and reddit.com also provide corresponding instructions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
