Fixing the Windows 10 "system thread exception not handled" Boot Loop
My aging laptop started crashing after running a game for a while. The screen went blue, showed “system thread exception not handled,” and rebooted endlessly. After trying the usual fixes and preparing for a reinstall, I stumbled across this thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/zh-hans/windows/forum/windows_10-performance/win10/2c730d1a-9e1d-4da1-a11b-5659df6169ec?auth=1
The author mentioned that removing the battery solved it. I disconnected power, pulled the battery, and powered it back on—the machine booted normally. In other words, fully cutting power (including the battery) clears the issue.
Microsoft never explained the root cause; I chalk it up to a Windows bug.
