RESOURCE_NOT_OWNED

What it means

A driver released a system resource it never owned, which corrupts the kernel's bookkeeping.

Common causes

• A buggy third-party driver
• Leftover drivers from removed hardware
• Damaged system files

How to fix it

1. Open the crash dump in WhoCrashed or BlueScreenView: it usually names the driver file that caused it (for example nvlddmkm.sys is the NVIDIA driver).
2. Uninstall drivers or tools for hardware you no longer use.
3. Update the graphics, chipset and network drivers from the maker's site (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel or your board vendor), not from a driver-updater tool.
4. Open Terminal (Admin) and run sfc /scannow, then DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth. Restart afterwards.
