What are kernel_compat_cpu.h Error Messages?


General kernel_compat_cpu.h Runtime Errors

kernel_compat_cpu.h file errors often occur during the startup phase of Blender, but can also occur while the program is running. These types H errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Blender is running. Here are some of the most common kernel_compat_cpu.h runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.79\scripts\addons\cycles\source\kernel\kernel_compat_cpu.h

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


Most H errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your kernel_compat_cpu.h file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Blender), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, kernel_compat_cpu.h file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Blender, system crash while loading or saving kernel_compat_cpu.h, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.



How to Fix kernel_compat_cpu.h Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your kernel_compat_cpu.h issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve kernel_compat_cpu.h problems.

If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



Download kernel_compat_cpu.h Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying kernel_compat_cpu.h to your appropriate Windows system directory. Blender Foundation typically does not release Blender H files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing kernel_compat_cpu.h and all other H files for Blender. An incorrectly installed H file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
