How can I fix the CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION error?

Leave only your mouse and keyboard attached, and try again.

If your computer isn’t giving you the critical_structure_corruption error it means that problem is related to an external device.

You just need to plug in your devices one by one, until you find which device is causing you this problem. Then update drivers for it, and everything should be back to normal.

Sometimes your motherboard can produce driver issues with a new operating system such as Windows 10, and usually, the best option is to go to the motherboard manufacturer’s website and download the latest driver for your motherboard and chipset.

Update drivers automatically

It is very important to choose the right driver versions from the manufacturer’s website. However, obtaining the right drivers for your chipset can be tricky sometimes. So, software dedicated to finding drivers automatically may come in handy.

Various errors are the result of a malfunctioning driver. When this is the case, you may need to update or reinstall completely this specific component. As the process is not straight-forward to complete, we recommend using an automated tool for the job. Here's how to do it:

3. Run the SFC scan

Paste the following command and press Enter: sfc/scannow

4. Run DISM

5. Check the hard drive

Head over to the Tools tab, click Error Checking, and go to Scan drive.

You can also perform the error checking in the Command Prompt:

6. Use Driver Verifier Manager

When the Driver Verifier Manager wizard pops up, select Create custom settings.

Select every option except Randomized low resources simulation and DDI compliance checking and click Next. 

Now, choose the Select driver names from a list option.

Driver Verifier Manager is a handy tool for resolving driver compatibility issues. This tool basically allows you to verify drivers from unofficial providers that Windows 10 doesn’t originally recognize.

So, if an unofficial driver gives you this error message because Windows 10 doesn’t recognize it, Driver Verifier Manager will probably handle it.

7. Use Memory Diagnostic Tool 

When the window pops up, choose Restart now and check for problems.

8. Perform a clean install of Windows 10

Critical_structure_corruption error can be caused by software since software sometimes installs its own drivers, and this can cause issues, so maybe you should make a backup of all your files and perform a clean install of Windows 10.

Format your partition and install Windows 10 on an empty partition, without updating from Windows 8 or 7. If you don’t know how to do this, contact a professional.

That’s it. If you have any other Windows 10-related issues you can check for the solution in our Windows 10 Fix section.
