  • 1.  BugCheck in Windows server Driver BHDrvx64

    Posted Apr 07, 2022 05:08 PM

    Good morning, I have Symantec Endpoint protection 14.3.558 installed on a group of Windows Server 2016 servers with the Terminal Server role. The servers constantly present "Hard Hang" they are blocked and remain on a black screen, it is only overcome after a reboot. Microsoft support says that the problem is caused by a driver called BHDrvx64. What we must do is update that driver (BHDrvx64) and try to see if the problem is corrected, and if not, it will have to be removed completely.

    I would like to know if it is possible to update this Driver to a more recent version. Or is it possible to disable it (How) and what are the implications of disabling the driver? Thanks for your attention.

    Hi Cesar, 

    You would need to upgrade to 14.3 RU4 for the latest version of the Bash driver. It cannot be updated on its own. Disabling this would stop Sonar protection and Tamper protection and is not advised.

    Hi John, thanks for the reply.
    According to the Dump, the current driver version on the TS servers is 12.3.0.69.

    However, in the document "New fixes and component versions in Symantec Endpoint Protection 14.3 RU4" it says that the driver version is also 12.3.0.69
    https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?articleId=233280

    What could I do in this case?

    Hi Cesar,

    You would want to open a case with Support and provide a Full Memory Dump and Full Data Symdiag for investigation.
