SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION

A system process hit an error it could not recover from. Graphics drivers and antivirus are the most common causes.

How to fix it

1. Update the graphics driver from NVIDIA, AMD or Intel directly.
2. Uninstall third-party antivirus to test (Defender takes over).
3. Note any .sys file on the blue screen and update or remove its driver.
4. Open Command Prompt as administrator (search "cmd", right-click, Run as administrator).
5. Run: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and wait for it to finish (it can sit at 20% for a while).
6. Then run: sfc /scannow
7. Restart the PC.

Is it serious?

A driver fix in most cases.
