Windows 10: Blue screen of death after latest windows update

So computer got updated over night two days ago, woke up to a blue screen of death with clock_watchdog_timeout, rebooted but same thing again.


Managed to get into safe mode, checked the memory tool etc with no issues and also did a stress test of the cpu with no issue.


Rebooted computer but still the same. So i uninstalled the latest update via the login screen you get when trying to resolve issues, it was not the feature update but the other one, the feature update was not possible to uninstall.


That fixed my computer and it worked for a day but now when i woke up i get the blue screen of death again.


Trying to uninstall most drivers right now but doubt that will help. Any ideas?

:)
