What happens when a kernel mode process terminates abnormally in Windows 10?

Manual restart applies more to user-mode applications, not critical kernel-mode processes that cause system instability.

When a kernel-mode process terminates abnormally, it indicates a critical system error within the core of the operating system. Since kernel-mode components operate with full access to hardware and system memory, their failure can lead to an unrecoverable state, resulting in a system crash, often displayed as a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD).

Windows does not automatically restart a failed kernel-mode process; such a failure leads to a system crash.

While debugging tools can be used to analyze a crash dump after a system crash, the operating system does not automatically run a debug utility at the moment of failure.
