Fix –  SPECIAL_POOL_DETECTED_MEMORY_CORRUPTION

Solution 1 – Update Windows 10 and all your drivers

As we previously mentioned, this error can be caused by hardware or software, and since Windows 10 might have few issues with certain hardware and software, you could potentially get this error . Fortunately, Microsoft is working hard to fix any hardware or software incompatibility issues, and it is releasing new patches through Windows Update frequently. Windows updates fix many security vulnerabilities and issues related to both hardware and software, so if you’re having BSoD errors such as SPECIAL_POOL_DETECTED_MEMORY_CORRUPTION, we strongly advise you to update Windows 10.

In addition to updating Windows 10, it’s also important to update your drivers. Drivers are in charge of your hardware, and if certain driver isn’t compatible with Windows 10, that can lead to system instability and BSoD errors. You can easily update your drivers, and all that you have to do is to download the latest drivers from your hardware manufacturer’s website. Bear in mind that you’ll have to update drivers for all major hardware components in order to fix this error.
