Windows 10: IRQL_NOT_LESS_EQUAL ndis.sys error

Hello.I'm currently experiencing repeated BSOD followed by reboot with the message IRQL_NOT_LESS_EQUAL ndis.sys error. The situation began shortly after getting the July update on my Windows 10 pro AND after updating my LAN Driver with driver booster to Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller 10.35.510.2019
This is my desktop system: CPU: FX 8350, mainboard: asus M5 A97 R2.0 (latest bios installed), RAM: 16 gb Kingston Hyper X DDR3, GPU: Asus gtx 970 (GeForce 431.60 drivers) SSHD: Seagate ST2000DX001-1CM164 .What I have tried so far:
1) system restore to right before installing the LAN Drivers.
2) Re-installing Windows 10 Pro (NOT from BIOS, from desktop in order to re-install missing/corrupted drivers)
3) Using HARD DISK Sentinel to find out if my sshd had any bad sectors
4) Full virus and malware scan with ESET smart security and malwarebytes anti-malware
5) Complete and thorough cleaning of my PC case
6) Complete uninstall of any realtek products including audio, using driver sweeper to remove remnants in registry, remove of ethernet and audio realtek devices from device manager, re-install latest realtek drivers: 10.036.
Nothing has worked so far.Here's the strange thing: The BSOD happens ONLY after booting OR rebooting (manually that is). After my first BSOD and the usual error message when my PC restarts I can use it for hours without the slightest problem. Then when I shut it down or restart for some reason the same situation occurs again. (corrupted driver on startup maybe?)

Here's an error log:

I tend to keep a very clean and stable system by using selective start-up (I only allow eset smart security to load on startup), frequent virus and malware checks and being careful with the programs I'm installing.
The only other possible hardware failure I can think of is my case's front usb panel who COULD be failing ( it has become harder to read from usb sticks and sometimes with the slightest move or touch they dissapear from devices and drives screen. Once I believe that the BSOD occurred right after plugging in my usb stick rather forcibly but I'm not entirely sure. Please Help

Error code: 10, when installing Remote NDIS drivers

Hello,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are unable to install the Remote NDIS drivers on your PC. The error code in device manager states that the device’s hardware contains a FailReasonString value. I suggest you to refer the article

Remote NDIS (RNDIS) to know how to install the drivers.



However, as the issue is related to installing Remote NDIS driver on Windows 10, I suggest you to post your query on

TechNet forums, as the forum provides dedicated support for issues related to installation of Remote NDIS drivers.



Hope it helps.

Choose NDIS version dynamically

I'm developing a driver that uses NDIS and should work in Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10. Hence, I'd like to choose the NDIS version dynamically. When I use the function NdisGetVersion(),
isn't returning the expected values. Kindly suggest a method to dynamically choose the NDIS version based on the NDIS version available in the target machine.

 

NDIS Drivers

Hi,

There are different network device drivers that are supported by the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS). An example of this is a miniport driver which manages a network interface card (NIC) such as the Wi-Fi card or the LAN card in your computer,
including sending and receiving data through the network interface card. For additional information on what type of drivers are supports by the NDIS drivers in Windows 10, kindly refer to the information available on this

link.

For more references on how to setup your mobile phone to get an Internet connection using a USB connection from your computer, we suggest that you contact the device manufacturer for the exact steps you need to complete. Take note though that this will also
depend on the model of your mobile phone if it supports that option to get an Internet connection using the USB port.

Feel free to reach out to us for further concerns.
