The root causes of Windows 10 errors associated with Code 41 include a missing or corrupt file, or in some cases, a past or present 41-related malware infection. A large percentage of these file issues can be resolved with downloading and installing the latest version of your Windows 10 file. Also, maintaining updated device drivers can help in preventing Windows 10-related errors, so we highly recommend running a driver update scan on a regular basis.
Classic Code 41 Problems

Documenting Code 41 BSOD occasions is key to determine cause of the problem, and reporting them to Microsoft Corporation for fixes.
