Windows 10: BSOD after update

Some weeks ago I started to have issues with my Windows: when I log in the explorer started to fail and restart. After 5-10minutes it manages to work. This started after a windows update not sure which one


Two days ago I had a BSOD in the morning, another in the afternoon and then every time windows was loading.

I formatted my drives and installed a fresh windows installation media was created on August 8th with no issues, until I update the 2004 update and again, BSOD.

I was affraid it could be a fault disk so I've removed every disk but the main Samsung EVO 850 250gb, 4yo with the same result.

Then tried installing windows on a secondary SSD Samsung EVO 860 500gb, <1yo, with the same result.

My last try was to reinstall on the secondary but stopped updates, and I was able to use the whole day without issues.


This morning the updates were installed and BSOD are here again. I've tried uninstalling updates from windows recover screen and even when I see them in my update log it's working for now .


I saw there are more people with the same issue but different errors in the BSOD, but I have a different one every time


Any idea?

Thanks

BSOD- atikmpag.sys

This is most likely due to an installation/upgrade error with ATI driver's. I suggest doing DriveSweeper and the following:

• Drivesweeper all drivers & in Safe Mode
• Unistall all drivers that aren't used in DriveSweeper (CCC Profiler Updates, MSI AfterBurner, anything related to ATI that use's it's drivers.)
• After you do this, the first thing you need to do is go into Device Manager and Unistall your ATI Drivers

Once your done, restart the PC and then try installing the latest drivers.


I had several issues with this in the past, but I overcame it with logical reasoning and whenever I have a driver issue, I just use these steps and I always overcome the problem.

Best of luck! *Toast :toast:

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

 

Random BSOD while browsing internet


BitDefender is nothing special. mwac.sys causes BSODs anywhere.
A tiny documentation can be found here: Solved Random BSODs - Windows 10 Forums
In that very thread, the suggested action apparently worked.

The storage and network filters of any third party antivirus can cause BSODs. Neither MBAM nor BitDefender is any special. For a regular antivirus, it may be shifted to an alternative; but MBAM has no alternative. So a clean install of the said program is the most feasible first step.
As far as the first step is not failing, it is better to not think for the second step. Because the BSODs are not universal, failure at the first step is not universal; and success at the second step is also not universal.
That is why I posted that my suggestion may work, or may not. Let us see where it goes.
