f a critical Windows system process fails to run properly, your operating system will crash and display a Critical Process Died Stop Error 0x000000EF or Blue Screen on your Windows computer. This happens because the process which was needed to run the Windows operating system ended abruptly for some reason.
There is not much documentation on this on any Microsoft site. A post however simply states that:
The CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED bug check has a value of 0x000000EF. This indicates that a critical system process died.
Critical Process Died
Now if you receive such an error message, here are some of the things you could try and see.
1] Run sfc /scannow or System File Checker to check for and replace corrupted system files if any. If you are unable to boot to desktop, you may run System File Checker in Safe Mode or Offline.
2] You may also want to run DISM to repair a corrupt system image.
3] Update your Drivers and see if that resolves the issue.
3] Perform a Clean Boot. When you start the computer in clean boot, the computer starts by using a pre-selected minimal set of drivers and startup programs. Clean-boot troubleshooting is designed to isolate a performance problem.
4] If the problem started appearing recently, use System Restore to restore you computer back to a good point and see if it makes the problem go away. If it started after you updated your operating system, you may want to stop that particular update from being installed, and report the problem to Microsoft.
5] Disable Sleep and Hibernate in your Power Setting and see if it helps. You will get these settings in Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Power Options > Edit Plan Settings. Use this process to disable Hibernation if you had earlier enabled it.
If nothing helps, check this post which shows you some generic ways on how to troubleshoot Blues Screens in Windows 10.
All the best!
