How to Fix the TTM_FATAL_ERROR on Windows 11?

The TTM_FATAL_ERROR bug check with a value of 0x0000019B indicates that the Terminal Topology Manager, which is responsible for managing display and graphics resources in a system, has encountered a fatal error. This error appears when there are issues with the graphics card or graphics driver or if there is a conflict within the display system configuration.

First, check for Windows updates and ensure no updates are pending. Also, make sure your system is not overheating; if it does, clean the dust from your system and check the cooling system. Next, if you have a dedicated graphics card, test it on another device.

How can I fix the TTM_FATAL_ERROR on Windows 11?

4. Right-click the graphics driver and select Update driver from the context menu.
5. Click Search automatically for drivers and follow the on-screen instructions to complete.
6. Restart your computer once done.

If Windows fails to find the correct driver version, you can head to the manufacturer’s website and install the latest version. Alternatively, you can download and install a reliable driver updater tool to ensure that all the system device drivers are up to date.

In case this doesn’t help and you already have the latest version of the driver installed, follow these steps to reinstall the driver:

1. Relaunch the device manager, click Display adapters to expand, right-click the graphics driver, and select Uninstall device from the context menu.

2. To scan and repair the damaged system files, copy & paste the following command and hit Enter: sfc /scannow
3. Wait for the scan to complete, type the following command to restore the Windows system image via Windows Update, and press Enter: Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
4. The scan will take some time; once it is successfully complete, restart your computer to let the changes take effect.

Once your computer is in clean boot, try enabling these services and startups one by one to narrow down the reason for the TTM_FATAL_ERROR message. If nothing seems to have been causing the issue, reverse engineer the steps to reboot your PC in normal mode.

6. Restore your PC to an older version

1. Press Windows + R to open the Run window.

If you don’t have restore points or have disabled the system restore point creation process, you can try resetting your PC. The process will take longer and mostly removes your apps and data from the device, so first, take a backup and proceed.

In conclusion, to fix the TTM_FATAL_ERROR, you need to update or reinstall the graphics driver, run the SFC & DISM scan to repair the corrupted system files, restart your PC in a clean boot environment, disable the fast startup option, or restore your PC to a previous version.
