While this may work most of the time, sometimes USB tethering your phone can bring up issues such as the RNDISMP6.SYS BSoD error. Sounds familiar? Let’s dive deeper into what it means and what steps to follow to eliminate it.

Why am I getting the RNDISMP6.SYS BSoD error?

The RNDISMP6.SYS BSoD is a stop error that occurs when Windows stops operating because of some critical error or anomaly on your PC. You’ll notice that when you connect your phone via USB to your PC, you’ll get this BSoD error. The exact reason why you’re getting this RNDISMP6.SYS BSoD will vary depending on what’s causing it, but most often occur due to faulty hardware or memory issues on your computer. Other causes include:

Faulty driver – If the USB drivers are corrupt, your PC will likely experience errors because of incompatibility issues. Incompatible device – If you recently added new hardware to your computer, this may cause an error message because Windows cannot recognize the new devices yet.

How can I fix the RNDISMP6.SYS error?

Before you advance to the slightly technical solutions, we recommend you try the following first: SPONSORED

Disconnect all other peripherals on your PC that are unnecessary for the USB tethering operation. Next, try reconnecting your phone and check if the issue persists. Opt for creating a mobile hotspot using a wireless connection instead of USB tethering. This will allow you to access the internet on your PC without having to rely on the USB cable as an intermediary. Ensure you’re running an updated version of Windows. Check your PC for any virus or malware. Restart your computer. Sometimes just restarting your computer will clear up the issue and let you start using tethering again without any problems.

1. Perform the DISM and SFC scans 

2. Update your USB drivers 

We also recommend using a driver updater tool, especially if you want to ensure you’re getting the right driver. Windows sometimes can recommend incompatible drivers. DriverFix is an automatic tool that will not only scan and detect corrupt drivers but also download and install them.

3. Reinstall your USB drivers 

4. Rollback your USB drivers 

5. Restart netsetupsvc

What is an NDIS error?

An NDIS error is a network configuration error that prevents Windows from connecting to the Internet.  NDIS stands for Network Driver Interface Specification, a set of rules or standards defining how software interacts with hardware. The RNDISMP6.SYS BSoD error falls under this category. Any number of things could cause this:

A loose or damaged Ethernet cable or a faulty Ethernet port on your computer Problems with your Internet service provider (ISP) A software conflict with another program on your computer
