Windows 10: BSOD in fullscreen.

Hello.

So recently I have been having a problem with my laptop.
Whenever I put an application in fullscreen mode, it gives me a bluescreen.



List of applications that do this:

• Minecraft Windows 10 Edition
• Terraria
• Steam (Big Picture mode)
• Dolphin (Emulator)
• Probably a couple of others that I missed.

Not all applications do this though. Google Chrome and VMware Workstation, for instance, can run just fine in fullscreen.


I have updated my Video drivers and ran the Windows 10 Setup (from the ISO) and "reinstalled" Windows.


For anyone wondering:


Stopcode: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION

What failed: ddkmd.sys


If anyone knows what causes this problem, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

:)

Hi Joel,

In Windows 10, there is an option to open an app in a fullscreen view. This way, it will be possible for you to make the fullscreen window move to a new desktop. Follow these steps to do so.

• Right click on the application.
• Select Properties.
• Click on the Shortcut tab.
• Beside the Run option, click on the drop-down menu and then choose Maximized.
  
• Click on Apply button and then click OK.

BSOD/ Freeze When Playing Games or Watching Youtube Fullscreen


Please update Tunggle.

Please remove ASUS software while troubleshooting, it uses outdated drivers and is known for causing bluescreens.

Daemon tools, Alcohol 120% and Power Archiver Pro uses SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD), which is a well known cause for BSOD's.
Please remove Daemon Tools and run the SPTD pass through remover.

1. Uninstall Daemon Tools
2. Download the SPTD standalone installer and follow these steps:
   • Double click the executable to open it
   • Click on the button shown below

If the button is grayed out, like in the image, there is no more SPTD installation on your system, and you can close the window

 

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.
