2. Select Troubleshoot from the menu on the left.
3. Select BSOD from the right pane and click Run the troubleshooter.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the troubleshooter.

If updating your drivers didn’t get the job done, let’s try with the troubleshooting tools. The first tool we’re going to try is Windows 10’s built-in troubleshooter.

This tool can be useful for resolving various issues, including BSOD errors

5. Run the SFC scan

1. Right-click on the Start Menu button, and open Command Prompt (Admin).
2. Enter the following line and press Enter: sfc/scannow
3. Wait until the process is done (it may take a while).
4. If the solution is found, it will automatically be applied.
5. Now, close the Command Prompt and restart your computer.

The SFC scan is a command-line tool that basically scans your computer for potential errors, and resolves them if the solution is available.

Among other errors that the SFC scan can help with are the BSOD issues.

6. Run DISM

6.1. Standard way

1. Right-click Start and open Command Prompt (Admin).
2. Paste the following command and press Enter:
   • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
3. Wait until the scan is finished.
4. Restart your computer and try updating again

6.2. With the Windows installation media

1. Insert your Windows installation media.
2. Right-click the Start menu and, from the menu, choose the Command Prompt (Admin).
3. In the command line, type the following commands and press Enter after each:

• dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
• dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
• DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:X:SourcesInstall.wim:1 /LimitAccess

Make sure to change an X value with the letter of the mounted drive with Windows 10 installation.

After the procedure is finished, restart your computer.

And the third troubleshooter we’re going to try is DISM. Deployment Image Servicing and Management is a tool that deploys the system image all over again. So, it’s possible that the BSOD error will get resolved along the way.

Some users are also suggesting that you need to run additional chkdsk commands as well.

To perform these commands, you need to know drive letters for all your hard drive partitions.

In Command Prompt you should enter the following (but remember to use the letters that match your hard drive partitions on your PC):

• chkdsk /r c:
• chkdsk /r d:

Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.

8. Uninstall your antivirus

Antivirus software is one of the essential programs on every computer, but unfortunately, antivirus software is also a common cause for BSoD errors.

Users confirmed that Bitdefender is the cause of CANCEL_STATE_IN_COMPLETED_IRP error, so it’s advised that you remove it.

It’s worth mentioning that uninstalling the antivirus software isn’t always enough since many antivirus tools leave certain files and registry keys behind after they are removed.

Even these files can cause BSoD error to appear, so it’s crucial that you use a dedicated removal tool to completely remove a certain antivirus program.

Many antivirus companies have these tools available on their websites, and you can download them free of charge.

Bear in mind that almost any antivirus software can cause BSoD error to appear, so be sure to remove any antivirus tool that you have installed, except for Windows Defender.

If uninstalling the antivirus fixes the problem, you can install a newer version of the same tool you were using or you can switch to different antivirus software.

Additionally, we recommend you use a dedicated uninstaller to get rid of any leftover data that usually follows a typical uninstall.

9. Uninstall problematic applications

Often cause for CANCEL_STATE_IN_COMPLETED_IRP error can be installed software, and if you installed any software before this error started appearing, you might want to remove it.

Users reported that Firefox can cause this error if you’re using 3D Vision, so you might want to try uninstalling Firefox and using a different browser.

Alternatively, you can delete your Firefox profile and add Firefox to 3DMark Profile or simply add StereoNotSupported Flag to Mozilla Firefox Profile.

It’s worth mentioning that almost any installed application can cause this error to appear.

So you might have to uninstall any applications that you installed or updated in the last few days or weeks in order to fix this problem.

10. Check for hardware errors

CANCEL_STATE_IN_COMPLETED_IRP BSoD errors are often caused by hardware failure, and in order to fix this error, you need to find and replace the faulty hardware.

Users reported that this error can be caused by a faulty USB device, so be sure to unplug all USB devices except for your keyboard and mouse.

Another cause for this issue might be your portable hard drive, so be sure to check if it works properly.

Lastly, make sure to check your memory. RAM is often the cause of many BSoD errors, so make sure that you check it out. To check your RAM, you need to do the following:

1. Download MemTest86+.
2. Create a bootable USB flash drive or CD with MemTest86+ on it.
3. Restart your computer and boot it from that USB drive or CD.
4. Once MemTest86+ starts, let it test your RAM for a couple of hours.

If no problems are found, your RAM isn’t the cause of this error, so you should check your motherboard and other hardware.
