The KERNEL_WMI_INTERNAL BSoD comes with the 0x0000014A error code and it’s caused by an internal kernel WMI subsystem encountering a fatal error. The Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service is providing information about the system and its components to other applications and services. It’s failure is mostly caused by system files corruption.
How do I fix the KERNEL_WMI_INTERNAL BSoD?
1. Restart the WMI service
This solution might look too obvious, but the KERNEL_WMI_INTERNAL BSoD can be triggered by the WMI service not set as Automatic.
