Windows 10: BSOD and I think Defender is the problem. Can someone confirm?

My laptop keeps crashing and it started after I upgraded to Windows 10. I have re-installed, installed all the patches, updated all the latest drivers (it think), but it consistently send me to BSOD. A lot of time after BSOD, I find that Windows Defender is disabled, so my guess it that is the issue.

I spoke to Microsoft, and they say that I need to re-install. They did not even look at my logs.

I think someone is watching me...?

Alicia,

Part of this post is from: Webcam turns on by itself

PS

There's an old saying: just because you're paranoid doesn't məan they're not out to get you.

Ninjas may have bяoken into your house in the dəad of night, and replaced your processor and motherboard with a secret replacement system that
captures everything you do, compresses it 500% (by the simple expedient of zipping it over and over), and sends it back to their flying island həadquarters where squadrons of highly trained hedgehogs analyze the data for credit card information.

Disclaimer: the above is my personal opinion and is not the opinion of my employer, my wife, or the hundreds of little green men that have been following me all day.

I think someone is watching me...?

Hi! I'm Alicia and I've noticed for the last two weeks or so that on my Lenovo Windows 10 laptop, my light next to my camera has been turning on by itself regularly without me even opening Camera. I went into Settings last night and turned off all the
access my microphone and camera have with my apps as I feel someone is spying on me but the light has turned on again by itself about 4 times today. I'm even uncomfortable speaking aloud as I think that the 'hacker'/'spy' can hear me through my microphone...
What should I do?

Run SeaTools to check the integrity of your HDD.
SeaTools for DOS and Windows - How to Use - Windows 7 Help Forums

Run the following tests

• Short Drive Self Test
• Short generic
• Long generic

If the short generic fails, no need for the long generic.



Note Do not run SeaTools on an SSD as the results will be invalid.

Post screenshots/photos of the test results

 

I will run it and let you know.

I have an SSD drive. Will this test tool work?

 

No, see the note in my previous post. Not sure how to test a SSD. Looks like you have Model LITEONIT LMT-256M3M.
Does LiteOn have any diagnostics for the drive?

 

Let me see what other diagnostics I can run on my SSD. I will get back to you.

 

I could not find any SSD diagnostics tools on LITEON website. I called LITEON customer support. They informed me that they do not have any troubleshooting tools and that I need to work with Dell & Microsoft to figure this out. While I was updating this post, I got another BSOD *Sad

I also ran Dell generic for blue screen. When I ran Dell tests, it showed me that there are two Blue Screen issues:

Attachment 118164

I then ran the Blue Screen Troubleshooter, which gave me three options:

Attachment 118165

I selected each individual options and each of them passed.

Attachment 118166

Need help what I need to do next to fix the BSOD issue *Sad

 

Do you have another drive (SSD or regular drive) you can use in place of the SSD for awhile as a test?

If you have had any BSODs since the last time you ran dm_log_collector, please run it again and upload the resulting zip file in a post here. Maybe something else will show.

 

I do not have another SSD.

I got two BSOD after that. I am uploading the files.

 

might point somebody in the right direction, from dxdiag log

I see this in the latest dump:
Code: BugCheck 154, {ffffdc034934f000, ffff830143a44ff0, 2, 0} *** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for win32k.sys *** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for win32k.sys Probably caused by : hardware_disk[/quote] It is again pointing to your LITEONIT LMT-256M3M SSD drive. Since there does not seem to be any way to do a good test of the drive, the only way to test it is to replace it. Nothing else comes to mind.

 

oh ok. Looks like I do not have any other option. Thank you for your help.

Any chance you can borrow a drive from a friend or family member to test with?
