Error code 0x40000015 means that an application causes an execution exception not managed during the shutdown. Now, the error is caused because somehow the Windows system files have been corrupted and this is the execution exception. The complete error message is:

“The exception unknown software exception (0x40000015) occurred in the application at location 0x004423ee.”

To solve this Windows PC problem, do the following:

Uninstall unnecessary programs

Some programs have a delayed start and can cause the error 0x40000015 to appear a few minutes or hours after the start, without indicating which of them is the cause. In such cases, you must perform a clean start by following the steps described here. The Clean Boot temporarily disables all unnecessary programs and allows you to see if any of them are the author. If the error does not occur after the clean start, the most likely problem is that one of the disabled programs causes the error.

The ideal solution is then to go back and activate the programs individually, restart the device after each change, and see when the error occurs that should indicate the root cause of the problem. If the error occurs even after a clean boot, the most likely cause is irreparable damage to the operating system, in which case it must be reinstalled.

Update your antivirus protection

Sometimes this problem can also occur if the antivirus is not up to date. Therefore, open your antivirus software and update it to the latest definition.

Run SFC Scan

Once the prompt is open, type the following command, then press Enter.

sfc /scannow
