#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : STOP 0x0000001E -- KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED Fix : Deal with the named driver Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/win-0x1e Run as : Elevated PowerShell Expect : 30 minutes Risk : low Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX A .sys file is on the screen or in the dump. HOW TO UNDO IT Reinstall the vendor driver package; pnputil /add-driver restores a removed one if you kept the .inf. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
