Windows 10: BSOD "CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED", nothing works

This was caused by an automatic Windows 10 update on 12/17/2020

• Startup Repair doesn't work,
• Safe Mode in any form does'nt start,
• System Restore from a previous point doesn't do anything,
• Uninstall latest quality update doesn't work
• Reset this PC with "Keep my files"doesn't work.
• I can't even start from my old Ubuntu startup flash drive

I had a similar BSOD episode two weeks ago but it was a SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION. I resolved it from the Safe Mode and Clean Boot was working by running Verifier and replacing the display driver. I stopped all updates for two weeks, and it worked perfectly for those two weeks. Then on 12/17, the automatic update restarted and gave me a very bad "CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED" BSOD.


I certainly don't want to lose all my files, but would accept reluctantly to re-install all my applications and re-create the related settings.

Please let me know :

1 is there a method to restart this machine so I can run some troubleshooting?

2 or if I have to re-install windows, how should I go about it, knowing that my installation disc is a Windows 7 Home Premium that I purchased in 2012.


Thank you for your help.
