Windows 10: BSOD IRQL NOT EQUAL after windows update

After a windows update, the computer will crash shortly after Windows has started. Protected mode with network is starting without problems. Return to last recovery point fails. Any ideas?

THANK YOU!!!

Windows 10 (AU version 1607) Kernel Auto Boost Lock Acquisition with Raised IRQL Crash

Hi Lz -

I have also been using WUShowHide to control update installs,

since the BSOD IRQL problem showed up (after KB3194496).

I also saw Intel Management Engine Interface as eligible for update in WUShowHide.

My system had already been unstable for 2 days (numerous BSOD crashes) before I updated the Intel Mgmt Interface

from 9.5.24.1790 (old: orig from Win8, retained for Win10 upgrade, date: 11/27/13)

to curr 11.0.0.1157 date 7/7/15

I will try rolling back the Intel driver to 9.5.24.1790 and post back. But I'm skeptical.

after the KB3194496 install, with 9.5.24.1790, was when I first saw the BSOD IRQL crash

after restoring to before KB3194496 and running 9.5.24.1790, my system was stable until I allowed WUShowHide to update the Intel Watchdog Timer (WDT) and the BSOD IRQL crashes resumed. I've been
unable to track down what WUShowHide updated when I allowed the WDT update. I can't find any refs to WDT in Device Manager.

Re: WUShowHide - I believe the list of eligible updates is somewhat misleading.

I believe what it shows is the list of all drivers (from external vendors) that my PC

(Dell Inspiron 17R)

that Window Update watches for. I tried updating several in the list and saw no change.
