  1. Computer turning off with BSOD "Critical_Process_Died"


    I own a ROG Strix Scar 16 gaming computer on Windows 11, and when I shut down or restart my computer, the screen comes up with a blue screen of death with a message saying "Critical process died". I don't really know if I have some sort of malware or virus. But it happens every time I try to shut down my computer. I've gone through all of the security processes and it says that my device is safe. Can you please help me?

    :)

    BSOD Error: CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED

    My laptop experienced a BSOD with an analysis by "Who Crashed" as follows-

    On Sat 11/10/2018 2:08:03 PM your computer crashed or a problem was reported

    crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP

    This was probably caused by the following module: ntkrpamp.exe (nt!PsSetLegoNotifyRoutine+0x46C)

    Bugcheck code: 0xEF (0xFFFFFFFFA8C97440, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0)

    Error: CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED

    Bug check description: This indicates that a critical system process died.

    There is a possibility this problem was caused by a virus or other malware.

    A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: ntkrpamp.exe .

    Google query: ntkrpamp.exe CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED

    Following is a link to my "one drive" BSOD folder with memory.dmp and other files for evaluation:

    Microsoft OneDrive

    Please advise resolution for the said BSOD. Thanx!

    Hang on a second, no. As far as the rules are concerned VPNs from legitimate sources are not illegal. You don't have the right to 'force' someone to remove a piece of software that:
    1. Is not causing the issue related to the crashes
    2. is not pirated software or illegal
    Cloudflare WARP does not have a windivert file that I can find, even if it did, again, its not against the forum rules because it is not an illegal system file in of itself.
