BSOD errors are the most frustrating of all since these cause the OS to crash and lead to loss of unsaved data.

When you encounter such errors, the Startup Repair utility comes to the aid and eliminates issues preventing the OS from launching. But, that too is ineffective against the srttrail.txt error in Windows 11.

The error is generally encountered when you turn on the computer. but there’s a possibility of it occurring even when the system is in use. After it occurs, you will find Log file at the following location: C/Windows/System32/Logfiles/Srt/SrtTrail.txt

This path is mentioned and presented with two options, Shut Down or Advanced options. If you choose the former, Windows will enter an endless reboot loop.

The error could happen due to several reasons with each having a specific fix, as discussed in the following sections.

By the time you reach the end of the article, the srttrail.txt error in Windows 11 should be resolved.

What causes the srttrail.txt error in Windows 11?

There are several underlying causes behind the srttrail.txt error in Windows 11, and we have listed them all below.

• Problems with software
• Corrupt system files
• Malware or virus infection
• Issues with the hardware
• Corrupt Registry
• Malfunctioning external peripherals

If you can identify the underlying cause from the list, simply head to the relevant fix and execute it. Nevertheless, you can follow the methods in the same sequence as they are listed for quick troubleshooting.

How can fix the srttrail.txt BSOD error on Windows 11?

1. Disconnect non-critical devices

Your primary approach when dealing with BSOD errors is to disconnect the non-critical external devices. Many incompatible devices are known to conflict with the functioning of the OS, thus leading to errors.

After disconnecting the devices, restart the computer and check if the srttrail.txt error in Windows 11 is fixed. If that’s the case, reconnect the removed devices one at a time and restart the computer to identify the one causing the problem.

Once you identify the malfunctioning device, update its driver and if that doesn’t work, get the device repaired or replaced. We recommend giving a try to DriverFix that scans your PC for missing or outdated drivers and updates them.

2. Disable Automatic Repair

NOTE To execute the fix, press the power button to turn on the system, and as soon as the OS is about to boot, hold the power button pressed to turn the system off.

Repeat this thrice, and the Automatic Repair will kick in the fourth time.

Wait for it to complete and you will then have two options listed, Shut Down and Advanced Options. The following fix starts from this window.

Select Advanced Options from the Automatic Repair window.

Click Troubleshoot.

Next, again select Advanced Options from the two listed here.

Click on Command Prompt.

Now, paste the following command and hit Enter to disable Automatic Repair.bcdedit /set {default} recoveryenabled No

After the command is executed, restart the computer.

After disabling Automatic Repair, check if the srttrail.txt error in Windows 11 is eliminated.

3. Repair Master Boot Record (MBR)

NOTE

You now know how to reach the Advanced Options and all the fixes from now on will start from this window only.

Launch the Command Prompt window from Advanced options.

Paste the following command and hit Enter.bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd

Next, execute the following command.bootrec.exe /fixmbr

Finally, type/paste the following command and hit Enter to execute it.bootrec.exe /fixboot

After executing the three commands, restart the computer and check if the srttrail.txt error in Windows 11 is fixed.

The Master Boot Record or MBR is stored on the first sector of the storage drive and contains the necessary code required for the system to boot. If there are problems with it, you are likely to encounter issues booting the OS. The above commands are likely to eliminate these problems.

4. Verify device partition

Go to the Advanced options window and select Command Prompt from the listed options.

Paste the following command and hit Enter.bcdedit

Now, check if partition=C: is listed next to device and osdevice.

If that’s not the case, execute the following commands one a time.bcdedit /set {default} device partition=c: bcdedit /set {default} osdevice partition=c:

Now, restart the computer.

5. Run SFC and Check Disk scan

Select Command Prompt from the options listed in the Advanced options windows.

Next, type/paste the following command and hit Enter to run the SFC scan.sfc /scannow

Once the scan is complete, execute the following command to run the Check Disk utility.chkdsk /r c:

After running both the commands, restart the computer and check if the srttrail.txt error in Windows 11 is fixed.

The SFC (System File Checker) scan is used to identify corrupt system files, and if any are found, replace them with their cached copy stored on the computer. The only limitation here is that only the system files are scanned, which is where the Check Disk utility comes into the picture.

The Check Disk utility scans your drive for any corruptions and bad sectors and effectively eliminates both. Since it scans the whole drive, the utility takes more time as compared to the SFC scan. Thus it’s recommended that you first run the SFC scan and if the error is not fixed, go with the Check Disk utility.

6. Check system hardware

Expert Tip: Some PC issues are hard to tackle, especially when it comes to corrupted repositories or missing Windows files. If you are having troubles fixing an error, your system may be partially broken. We recommend installing Restoro, a tool that will scan your machine and identify what the fault is.

If the methods listed above haven’t worked, the problem could likely be with the hardware itself. In which case, you would be required to either get it repaired or replaced.

But, before you do that, let’s first make sure that all connections are properly done. For this, remove and reconnect your hard drive, battery, and RAM while wiping any dust fragments during the process. Make sure you remove and reconnect these while the system is turned off.

If reconnecting the three doesn’t fix the srttrail.txt error in Windows 11, check if any of the hardware components are damaged and get them either repaired or replaced.

7. Reset your Windows 11 PC

In case the hardware components seem to work fine, you have no other option but to reset Windows 11 to its factory settings.

There are various ways you can do this, but since you are unable to boot the OS, we recommend either going with the Command Prompt method or selecting the Reset this PC option in the Troubleshoot window.

Resetting the PC will remove all saved applications and configured settings, though you have the option to keep the files. Once the PC is reset, it should work the same way it did when you first purchased it and the srttrail.txt error in Windows 11 would be fixed.

In case the reset feature is not working, check our dedicated guide to eliminate the underlying problem.

How do I prevent BSOD errors in Windows 11?

BSOD errors are regarded as one of the most dreaded and intricate ones owing to the prolonged troubleshooting time and the lack of available information.

The stop code following the error doesn’t divulge much about the underlying cause, which makes it further difficult to diagnose and eliminate the issue.

A few simple tips and tricks will come in handy to prevent or eliminate most of the BSOD errors in Windows 11 as well as the previous iterations.

Always keep the installed drivers up-to-date, make sure all the connected peripherals are compatible, do not install shady third-party apps that might potentially harm the system, and never make unnecessary changes to the Registry.

If you have any malfunctioning or problematic programs installed, learn how to uninstall apps in Windows 11.

That’s all there’s to the srttrail.txt error in Windows 11 and the most relevant fixes for it. Once you are done executing the methods listed above, the error should be eliminated and the system up and running in no time.
