Windows 10: DPC_watchdog_Violation BSOD

Mini Dump


A week ago I made the mistake of allowing an Adobe update and a Windows update to go through. Since then I've had daily DPC_Watchdog BSODs. In the 2 years since I built this box, it's been rock solid, until now.


The storage driver has been storahci.sys since the beginning. There hasn't been a hardware change in a very long time.


I tried to uninstall the adobe update, but it's locked out. I rolled back the biggest part of the Windows update yesterday but that didn't help prevent another BSOD this morning.


I ran chkdsk, which found nothing.

The SSD has the latest FW according to the manufacturer.
