The instruction at 0x000******* referenced memory at 0x0000****** written SOLUTION for WINDOWS 11 23h2

It's your XBOX gamepad. Unplug it if wired (or turn it off if wireless), do a reboot (you'll still get the error this time), leave it unplugged or off and then try to get the error. Reboot, restart, sign off, whatever. It won't happen again until you plug the controller back in.

Until it gets fixed officially, I've created a batch files on my desktop that restart Windows Explorer before shutting down or restarting. Here's the code for each. Just open notepad and paste either of the texts into it, and save. Then change the file extension from .txt to .bat

REM Restart Explorer and Reboot

taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe & start explorer

shutdown /r /t 0

or

REM Restart Explorer and Shut Down

taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe & start explorer

shutdown /s /t 0

Run the batch file instead of the normal shutdown or reboot and you won't see the error even with the gamepad plugged in.

I do not leave my controller plugged in at all. I get this error regardless.

Do you have fast startup enabled? Unless you do a reboot, you are just loading the same condition back into memory with fast startup, ala hibernation.

no, i have fast startup disabled in windows and in bios.

edit: I did like your approach to restarting explorer prior to a shutdown/reboot though, so I've added those to desktop. thanks for that.

Hi everbody,

I have a similar issue with my brand new PC:

The Instruction at 0x00007FFE283A3ACA reference memory at 0x0000000000000024. The memory could not be written.

Click ok to terminate the programme.

The message is related to the explorer.exe and appears randomly at shutdown of Windows.

Here are the specs of my PC;

Microsoft Windows 11 Professional (x64) Build 22631.3235 (23H2)
AMD Ryzen 7 7700
MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI (MS-7E26) (Bios Date: 08/10/2023; BIOS-Version:1.30)
2 RAM Modules: 16 GB PC5-48000 DDR5 SDRAM Team Group UD5-6000

I also tried several of the solutions that were already mentioded in the posts above like

Windows Memory Test

lots of variations of /DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image/... which al led to no results or errors.

According to the tests my System is fine.

At the moment I am using a wireless Xbox Controller which was mentioned above as possible source of this problem so I will take it of and see what happens.

Anyway this wouldn't be an acceptable solution and I hope that Microsoft will fix these issues soon.

I might also try a fresh Windows 11 installation (although this might not change anything) and see what happens.

Greetings to anyone and keep in mind...

You are not alone :-)
