How can I fix UDFS_FILE_SYSTEM BSoD error

1. Use a dedicated repair software

BSOD errors such as UDFS file system error can be problematic, and fixing them can be too complicated for less advanced users.

However, there are specialized tools that can help with this issue quickly and without any hassle by simply replacing the corrupted files with fresh genuine ones.

2. Update your drivers

1. Press Windows Key + X to open Power User Menu. Select Device Manager from the list.
   
2. When Device Manager opens, right click the device you want to update and choose Update Driver Software from the menu.
   
3. Select Search automatically for updated driver software. Windows 10 will now automatically download and install the best software for your device.
   
4. Repeat the steps for all devices that you wish to update.

Although downloading drivers from Device Manager is fairly simple, some users claim that using Device Manager isn’t the most reliable method for downloading drivers.

According to them, Device Manager doesn’t always download the latest drivers for your devices, and that can sometimes be a problem

If you want to download the latest drivers, you should probably download them manually.

Downloading drivers manually isn’t hard as you think, and all you need to do is to visit your hardware manufacturer’s website and download the latest drivers for your device.

Once your drivers are up to date, check if udfs_file_system blue screen error is still there.

8. Check for problematic applications

Certain applications can cause these BSoD errors such as UDFS FILE SYSTEM, and in order to fix these issues it’s required that you locate and remove the problematic applications.

According to users, it seems that uTorrent is the cause for this error, so if you’re using the aforementioned program, be sure to remove it or update it.

Bear in mind that almost any program can cause this error, so you might have to do a bit of research until you find the problematic application.

One of the common causes for BSoD is antivirus software, and to fix this problem you’ll have to remove any third-party antivirus programs that you have installed.

We have to mention that uninstalling antivirus software isn’t always enough since antivirus software tends to leave certain files and registry entries behind even after you remove it.

To completely remove certain antivirus from your PC, it’s required to use dedicated removal tool. Many security companies have these tools available for download, so be sure to download one of these tools for your antivirus software.
