Windows 10: How do I fix drivers that are "Critical" in Error Control?

In System Information -> Software Environment -> System Drivers, I have a lot of drivers that say "Critical" in the "Error Control" column. If I need to update the drivers, how do I do that, and where do I go?

How to fix Critical Error on Windows 10

Hi everyone! Today, I am going to explain how to fix Critical Error on Windows 10. Critical Error happens for me approximately every 1 or 2 months and it can last up to 2 weeks. The Critical Error sign only shows when your Start Menu and Cortana are
not working. You also cannot use your taskbar when you have Critical Error. On the Critical Error sign, there is an option to sign out of your computer. There are several ways to fix this.

Option 1:

Step A: Using your keyboard, hold Ctrl+Alt+Del at the same time.

Step B: Some security options will then load. There should be 4 options.

Step C: At the bottom-right corner, there will be a power (on) button. Click that.

Step D: Then select "Restart" and then your computer will start to restart. This means it will turn off and then come back on.

Step E: Your Critical Error should now be gone and your computer should now be back to normal.

Option 2:

Step A: You need to create/copy a
(new) user account by doing the following;

• Press Windows + X keys on the keyboard, select
  Control Panel.
• Select System and Security and then
  System.
• Click Advanced System Settings.
• Under User Profiles, click
  Settings.
• Select the profile you want to copy.
• Click Copy to, and then enter the name of, or browse to, the profile you want to overwrite. This will usually be in C:\Users\username, where username is the name of the profile to which you are copying.
  
• Click Permitted to use, and then add all user accounts to which you want to give full profile control.
  
• Click OK.

Step B: This problem should now be fixed and Critical Error should be gone now.

Option 3:

Step A: Click "Sign Out" on the blue Critical Error sign.

Step B: You will now be on your login screen.

Step C: Click the power (switch on) button.

Step D: Select "Restart" and your computer will now start to restart.

Step E: When your computer comes back on, Critical Error will now be gone.

Critical Structure Corruption Windows 10

I keep getting this error "Critical Structure Corruption" and can't seem to fix it.

It happens while I am busy on my laptop. Here are some of the steps I have tried so far to resolve this with no success.

1. Ran Windows Memory Diagnostic = no problems so RAM looks good.
   
2. Check The CPU with Intel-Processor-Diagnostic-Tool = PASS all
   
3. Drivers update, I used driver booster and did need to update 18 drivers but was able to update with no issues.
   
4. Update software and drivers, well it was suggested that I update BlueStacks but the update failed, bluestacks mentioned that it might be an issue so as I do not use the tool I uninstalled the software altogether.
   
5. Updated Windows, this I do regularly and automatically so no big updates were missed.
   
6. Defragged the machine - system is optimized
   
7. Ran anti-virus check and all's good
   
8. Ran CCleaner
   

Now I might mention I'm not a super user, but I'm able to follow suggestions quite well.

Any help will be appreciated.
