Windows 10: Bridge.sys failure (Multiple BSOD)

Log File Download: Log File Windows Version: 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1110) FAILURE_BUCKET_ID: AV_bridge!unknown_function I have recently been receiving multiple BSOD errors for Bridge.sys Failure here are some information and some of the things I have done to solve this issue: Update all Drivers Update all Windows and optional updates Reset Windows (Reset this PC) Re-Installed Windows (deleting the partition and reinstalling) Bought and installed another MB Bought and installed another (8x4) set of RAM Updated to ASUS MB to latest BIOS (ver. 2.00) Ran GPU Stress test for at least 1 hour Ran RAM Stress test for at least 1 hour Ran SSD Stress test for at least 1 hour Ran CPU Stress test for at least 1 Hour Commands ran: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth - no errors DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth - no errors DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth - no errors SFC /SCANNOW - 3 errors fixed CHKDSK C: /F Failed: Bridge.sys (Most Common) regsvr32.exe Error codes: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (Most Common) SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION MEMORY.DMP Errors: - FAILURE_BUCKET_ID: AV_bridge!unknown_function - BUCKET_ID: AV_bridge!unknown_function - PRIMARY_PROBLEM_CLASS: AV_bridge!unknown_function Notes: - I ran Driver Verifier for one of the first steps and couldn't boot into windows due to instant BSOD and boot into safe mode turned it off, queried the MEMORY.DMP file, updated some drivers, after 2nd run there were no BSOD while running Driver Verifier. - After a bit more troubleshooting I found the "AV_bridge!unknown_function" I assumed it was the network bridge between my desktop and laptop that was causing the issue. I plugged a USB to Ethernet adapter into the USB-Port on the motherboard and the BSOD seemed to stop for about 10 hours before continuing again. Conclusion: I have been troubleshooting this issue for about a week now. Before I knew bridge.sys was a network issue, I had invested in a new Motherboard (Asus B550 Phantom Gaming 4 -> B550 Asus Steel Legend) and new RAM (32GB (8x4) Crucial Ballistix @ 3200MHz) trying to find a hardware issue, but this obviously didn't resolve it. I don't have any good options for Internet speeds where I live, so I have my Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G providing a hotspot connection via a USB-C connection to the USB-C port on the front top of my case (Installed with the latest drivers). I had a TP-Link 5-Port Gigabit Desktop (unmanaged) switch between my desktop and laptop connected by two straight-through Cat-6 ethernet cables but removed it and directly connected my two PCs using one of the Straight-Through cables from before (this again obviously didn't solve the issue). I understand Straight-Through ethernet cables are not used for connecting two devices together, I have read somewhere that most modern routers and switches can handle not being connected using cross-over cables, but as my last step for troubleshooting, I have ordered some cross-over cables to see if it will resolve my bridge.sys failure. Any other troubleshooting steps or help will be much appreciated, Thank you in advance!

Network bridge suddenly stopped working in windows 10

Hi Shantanu,

To isolate your concern, we would like to know how your network bridge is connected? Is it a wireless connection or a wired connection?

In the meantime, we suggest that you set up your network bridge to refresh the adapter and reconnect the other devices. To do this, follow the steps below:

• Add Incoming Connections from the Internet.
• Bridge the two network connections that you want to use.
• Forget the internal network connection (under
  Manage Known Networks).
• Reconnect to your bridge network.
• Restart your computer and check if your concern persists.
  

Let us know if you need further assistance.

BSOD crashes and failure to posts

Having multiple bsod crashes including Memory Management, IRQL not less or equal. Also having failure to post issues.

Have tried running memtest, disk check, driver verifier, repairing and restoring windows multiple times and cannot get rid of these issues.

Not sure what steps to take at this point, have tried swapping out to completely new ram, updated motherboard bios to no avail as well.
