Are you ready? Let's read!

Uninstall problematic apps

The CLASSPNP.SYS error message may appear after a recent installation of a video game or software. Most often, in such a situation, the software itself causes an error, and then you need to remove the Windows 10 program.

After that, restart your computer and check if the problem “classpnp sys Windows 7” is resolved.

Rollback the OS

Try using the Last Known Good Configuration option in the Start menu. This will help you if the “classpnp.sys blue screen” error prevents your computer from booting normally.

After several unsuccessful attempts to boot the OS, Windows will automatically display the Last Known Good Configuration option. If you don't want to wait, you can manually access this parameter. To do this, press the F8 key before Windows starts up until the Startup Options screen is displayed, and activate the desired function.

You can also try to restore Windows to an earlier version using a restore point.

Usually, Windows automatically creates restore points before making any major changes (new updates or installing an application).

So, you can take advantage of this in your situation.

1. If you can access the desktop:

Enter "Recovery" in the search bar and select the "Create a system restore point" option. You will be taken to the System Properties window, where you can select the desired restore point and activate it.

2. If you are unable to boot into Windows:

After several unsuccessful attempts to boot the system, you will be taken to the automatic recovery screen. Next, select the "View advanced options" option and click on "Troubleshoot".

Now click on "Advanced Options" and select "System Restore". In the new window, select "System Restore", then click "Next". To see all available restore points, click "Show more restore points" and then decide which restore point to use. Once you have made your choice, click the "Scan for vulnerable programs" button; you will be shown all the programs that will be removed during the system restore. Now confirm the system restore point and click Finish. Don't worry if the recovery process takes a while; it's okay.

Try removing the RAM stick, video card, or PCI-e card

If you have any faulty hardware, the CLASSPNP.SYS error may be related to this. That is, if you have a faulty RAM or hard drive, Windows may not boot normally.

If you recently added a RAM card, video card, try temporarily removing them. Also, try removing excess RAM, PCI-e cards, or wireless cards and restart your computer. You can then reinsert these items if the computer boots normally.

If you only have one RAM, then try reinstalling it in an empty slot. Alternatively, you can use special software to test memory modules. If you find problems, remove the faulty memory modules and restart the computer; this should help.

Use SFC

Try to check for corrupted or missing system files and fix them with SFC.

1. If you can boot into Windows:

Open Command Prompt as an administrator and type sfc /scannow. Press Enter and wait for SFC to finish.

2. If you are unable to boot into Windows:

Enter Recovery mode by pressing the Start button and pressing the F8 key until you see the recovery screen.

Then click on "Troubleshoot" and click on "Advanced options." Now select "Command Prompt" and after restarting enter the following command:

sfc /Scannow, then press Enter.

You can also type the following command:

Sfc / scannow / OFFBOOTDIR = E: / OFFWINDIR = E: Windows, then press Enter.

In this case, SFC will scan the E driver and try to repair it with the new files.

Re-install the OS

This method can be used only in extreme cases, or when the problem occurs on a new computer. You should first make a backup of all available data, and only then proceed with a clean install of Windows 10.
