Windows 10 Anniversary Edition Fail

Post by MikeinCA »

Does anyone else that has updated to Windows 10 Anniversary edition get an error when the game loads? I get a blue screen error that states "KMODE Exeception Not Handled" and then collects data for reporting and reboots.

It seems to happen as soon as Factorio loads and you click play. I have reverted back to the previous build of Windows and the game runs fine.

You have a driver installed that doesn't work correctly with the Windows 10 Anniversary Edition and needs to be updated. The error message should also include the driver name in the form KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (DRIVER.sys). If you can't identify which driver it is from the name of DRIVER.sys then google it.

Another option is to disable the 'fast start-up' option in the System settings.

There is no driver name after the KMODE Exception. It is not giving me anything to even start working with. I know the error is supposed to give you some driver name in parenthesis, but not in this case. Simply says "KMODE Exception not handled" That's it.

UPDATE: I backed the update out, reinstalled and then disabled fast boot and it now works.

I use the Anniversary update since Monday and haven't had any issues so far.
