Windows 10: Bluescreen. Error message: WDF_VIOLATION

Hey y'all,

I've never really been happy about Windows 10, but in the last few weeks I've been very upset with it.

I'd be just going about my typical business, running Discord, Minecraft for Windows 10, and Spotify at the same time, when I would be just going about my business, when suddenly, I would get a loud noise out of my headphones and the computer would bluescreen with the error "WDF_VIOLATION". This has happened both today and yesterday, twice in 2 days, which is NOT something I would pay $120 for.

I think there might be something in common, however. My keyboard is the Microsoft Wireless Desktop Elite Keyboard, and both times my PC has crashed, I have been configuring my music with the Volume Up/Down buttons and pressing the WASD keys at the same time.

If you need the specs on my PC, tell me that you need them in a reply to this as I built this computer myself and the specs are pretty complex.

Thanks,

Michael

Windows 10 Bluescreen WDF_VIOLATION if USB device used USBSER.SYS and add to a Modem

We can always reproduce a bluescreen on Windows 10, if a USB device which used the USBSER.SYS driver is attached to a Windows Standard modem.



Environment:

• Windows 10 Pro, Final Build 10240, 64 Bit

Steps how to reproduce:

• Connect a USB device which used the USBSER.SYS driver
• Windows Device Manager displays the device in section "Ports (COM & LPT)"
  
  For example "Serial USB Device (COM3)"
  
  This is OK
• Start the "Phone and Modem" application
• Select the "Modems" tab and select "Add..." to "Install New Modem"
• Select "Don't detect my modem, I will select it from a list"
• Select "(Standard Modem Types)" and e.g. Model "Communication cable between two computers"
• Select the serial port which is used by the connected USB device (e.g. COM3 for this example)
• Windows starts installing the Modem... but...
• Bluescreen with information about an Error: WDF_VIOLATION
  

Notes:

• This error does not occur with USBSER.SYS driver on Windows XP, 7, 8
• I know that the USBSER.SYS driver is rewritten for Windows 10
  
  Perhaps this specific use case with the Modem assignment was not tested with this new driver?
• This bluescreen is reproducible with different connected USB devices which used the USBSER.SYS, e.g.:
  • embedded device with USB Stack from eCosCentric
  • embedded device with USB Stack from STMicroelectronics

Thanks for any help and support
