The adage that nothing is perfect certainly applies to software development, as defects can and will ruin the user experience. So, today’s topic is how to fix Windows 11 bad references through pointers.
Unfortunately, if your PC crashes with a Blue Screen of Death, it's a sign that there's something seriously wrong with your PC, which is usually (but not always) caused by a flaw in some program or driver.
Pointer reference blue screen is one of the most uncommon failures. Trying to figure out what's causing it is difficult, but it often points to an easily fixable problem.
So, after we see the general reasons why this error occurs, we will show you how to troubleshoot Windows 11 error references with pointers. Follow us!
Pointer-based reference BSoD errors (also known as pointer references or 0x00000018 errors) usually indicate a problem with your system files or device drivers.
Windows internally refers to running elements (such as open windows) as objects, whose numbers represent the number of times the component has been referenced (or used) elsewhere to help prioritize system resources.
This value will decrease until the item is eliminated, freeing system memory for other running services.
When a pointer reference warning is displayed, Windows detects an incorrect reference count for a running object. Because this can be a major security issue, Windows will stop with a BSOD, forcing your system to reboot and wipe all current memory.
However, in almost all cases, this is due to a problem with the software. The most typical source is hardware drivers, but other components such as graphics cards and network devices can also trigger it. It can also be caused by other difficulties, such as faulty system files or hardware failure.
Although Windows often takes care of driver updates, you can manually search for updates if you're having trouble. We highly recommend using a professional program like DriverFix to automatically scan for outdated drivers and save some time.
