DRIVER IRQL PROBLEM - since Windows 10 upgrade

Hi, Rob

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. I understand your concern, we in Community will try to help you in the best possible way we can.

The error that you are facing “DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL (netwsw00.sys)”
is caused by the reasons below:

• Incorrectly configured, old, or corrupted Microsoft Windows device drivers. (very common)
• Corruption in Windows registry from a recent Netwsw00.sys-related software change (install or uninstall).
• Virus or malware infection that has corrupted the Netwsw00.sys file or related Microsoft Windows program files.
• Hardware conflict after installing new Microsoft Corporation hardware, or hardware related to Netwsw00.sys.
• Damaged or removed system files after you’ve installed software or drivers related to Microsoft Windows.
• Netwsw00.sys blue screen caused by a damaged hard disk.
• Netwsw00.sys STOP error due to memory (RAM) corruption.

I suggest that you perform the methods mentioned below and check if you can resolve the issue:

Method 1:

It's highly likely that your Netwsw00.sys blue screen errors are related to corrupt or outdated device drivers. I would suggest that you open Device Manager and check if there is a yellow exclamation mark besides any drivers. If so I suggest that you
un-install and re-install the driver and download the latest update of the driver for Windows 10.

Method 2:

Perform a full system scan to check for any virus or malware infection. If there is any I suggest that you remove the infected file or folder.

Method 3: System Restore

• Click the Start button, then click on Settings
• Then click on Update and Security, locate and select
  Recovery and click on Advance Startup.
• You will now enter the Windows Recovery Environment, once there click on
  Troubleshoot and then Advance Options.
• Click on "System Restore". Enter any administrator passwords (if prompted).
• Follow the steps in the Wizard to choose a restore point.

• Restore your computer

Method 4: System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

To perform SFC Scan, refer to the below link:

Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

Note: Steps mentioned for Windows 8/8.1, will work fine with Windows 10.

Hope this information was helpful. Please let us know the status of your issue so that we can assist you further.

 

DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL (netwlv64.sys)

My laptop has been upgraded to Windows 10 and occasionally the blue error screen with the message "DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL (netwlv64.sys)" appears. Then my laptop restarts itself. It happens quite frequent, every few hours or sometimes shorter.
What is wrong with my laptop? How can solve this problem?
