Windows 10: CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED

Hello everybody! i've got a problem! bought a new 1 TB Samsung 860 evo ssd, installed a new copy of windows 10 and started putting my staff and app on my new os. installed a game ad realized that i had to update my GPU drivers….. NVIDIA.COM and started updating. 45 minutes of black screen later (windows was still running) i decided to restart the pc… black screen persisted. safe mode and disinstalled the driver: blue screen multiple times before i was able to use windows again and it kept crashing randomly. did a little bit of research but it lead nowhere so i formatted all of my HDDs and my SSD and performed a new clean windows setup. SAME ISSUE. here i attach some screenshots (all of them has a process failure in common) and my specs. thank you!

Critical_process_died at startup


Several times since Windows 10 has been updated (see attached file) I have received a "Critical_process_died" notification. Sometimes at startup & at least one time during normal browsing. Have talked with a local computer shop about various problems & he suggested a clean install. Attached is the dump file per your instructions.
Appreciate any suggestions.
