How to Fix the LOCKED_PAGES_TRACKER_CORRUPTION BSoD Error

The LOCKED_PAGES_TRACKER_CORRUPTION is a type of BSoD that may or may not be accompanied by the stop code 0x000000D9.

BSoD errors can be triggered by hardware failure or software conflicts but in this case, it is a corruption of the locked pages. Locked pages are essential in memory management especially in scenarios where critical data is involved and ensure this information remains locked in the physical memory.

Also, by staying locked in physical memory, they ensure the speedy and efficient access to data and prevent system slowdowns. If these files are corrupted, you might encounter this BSoD. Another trigger could be a recent hardware change that is incompatible with your system.
