There are a number of reasons why you could be encountering issues with oem8.inf. Most of the issues concerning inf files involve Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors. These types of oem8.inf errors can be cause by hardware problems, outdated firmware, corrupt drivers, or other software-related (eg. Nokia Software Updater update) issues. Some of these errors include:

It's Critical to Resolve Blue Screen of Death Errors

In the majority of cases, you will encounter oem8.inf BSOD errors after you've installed new hardware, software (Nokia Software Updater), or performed a failed Windows Update. In other cases, software corruption caused by a malware infection can lead to oem8.inf Blue Screen of Death errors. Therefore, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.


GEEK TIP : As a rule of thumb, it's always a good idea to create a Windows "Snapshot" backup / System Restore Point before making any hardware or software changes to your computer. That way, it's very easy to restore your system in the unfortunate event you encounter a oem8.inf Blue Screen of Death error after recent changes.

If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your oem8.inf File (Caution: Advanced)

    Windows 10: C:\Windows\inf\
    Windows 10: C:\Windows\inf\
    Windows 10: C:\Windows\inf\

Download oem8.inf Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying oem8.inf to your appropriate Windows system directory. Nokia typically does not release Nokia Software Updater INF 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 oem8.inf and all other INF files for Nokia Software Updater. An incorrectly installed INF file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
