Steps to Fix the "B1InitializeLibrary Failed 0xc0000001" Error

Windows has a built-in tool to scan and repair corrupt system files. You can use this tool to check for any issues causing the error.
  • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
  • Type sfc /scannow and press Enter.
  • Wait for the scan to complete, then restart your computer and check if the error persists.

2. Update or Reinstall Drivers
Drivers play a crucial role in the proper functioning of hardware and software. Outdated or corrupt drivers can trigger this error.
  • Go to Device Manager by right-clicking the Start button.
  • Locate the Display adapters or other relevant drivers (e.g., network, storage).
  • Right-click and select Update driver. Alternatively, you can uninstall and then reinstall the driver from the manufacturer's website.

3. Check for Software Conflicts
If the error appeared after installing new software or drivers, there may be a conflict.

  • Use Windows Safe Mode to boot the system with minimal drivers and see if the error still occurs. If not, it’s likely a third-party software conflict.

  • In the System Configuration window, go to the Services tab and check Hide all Microsoft services.
