  1. Kernel_security_check_failure


    Nineteen days of BSODS with the this warning.
    Started with a cumulative update.
    Have not gotten a solution, yet.

    Windows 10 (64), with all the latest (updated) programs, versions, and drivers, and I ran every conceivable scan to detect issues, without finding a clue to the next step. Have not seen my particular problem solved, yet.

    Happens when I am either in personal mail account (through Firefox 46.0.1) and I click through emails or it happens when I open certain kinds of websites (those I would open from inbox, anyway). Never had a BSOD using MS Office and I never had a BSOD when opening petitions (for instance) or reading newspapers, magazines, Twitter, shopping websites, etc.

    I opened mail using IE today and haven't had a crash, where I would have three times already, if I was in outlook.com.

    Sorry about the dump - it shows that there's data in it.

    Thank you.

    :)

    Please upload a new zip file, the attached zip file is empty

  5. I am constantly banished (denied) from opening even the most innocuous folder, file, or program. I constantly have to reset, change, or add the security settings to open, copy, read (or anything else) or drag. Something has been terribly wrong since I upgraded to Win10 in January. If you see anything about Permissions, please let me know.

    Don't know what happened - the description still shows that there's data - maybe I didn't allow you to even view this?
    (See above.) If I could figure out how to delete the other one, I would. This is memory.dmp.

    Thank you.

  7. Permissions are screwed up - it's not that I don't know how to use it. (Since upgrade to 10 - for instance - Notepad sits on desktop with a yellow Access Denied message, which I read is not usual. What the solution is - tbd.)

    Still trying to fix files, so I deleted some older dumps and collected a new DM Log. Whatta program!

    Will go back and read your responses, as I just scanned. I've been trying to figure out why the upload is so difficult.

    Very unusual, instead of putting a My PC on my desktop, it scooped everything into an SFDebug folder, which has everything but the kitchen sink in it - and I wonder why the data in this list was never created in the four previous DM logs/folders. At any rate, I collected the past two days of dumps and then I think I collected everything else into three separate compressed folders. If you think you are missing anything, I'll go over it again. I cannot send the entire SF Debug, as it opens into many separate folders/files.

    The other thing that is brand new today, is that there is an Event Log called Blue Screen. Since May 14, I have never seen the blue screen referenced in the logs. (The only thing that I've changed or done new was reinstalling a clean Firefox version last night.)

    Thank you.

    FYI, the DM Log Collector collects the data and puts it in a zip so you only have to upload the zip. There is no need to create another zip for whatever you would think is required because the zip (normally) contains everything we need.

    Please remove following programs to prevent more problems

    Warning Programs that claim to update your drivers install either the wrong or corrupted drivers.
    If you have installed any driver with Driver Booster 3, please remove them as it may cause trouble.
    I would recommend that you use a system restore point to undo the changes all these programs have made.

    It seems ASUS does not provide support for any other OS than 7, this means that you may have compatibility problems with Windows 10.

    Please check Windows Update in the settings for updates and check if there are any errors encountered while trying to install updates.
    Your system should have a few more hotfixes installed for the age of installation.
    Code: Hotfix(s): 4 Hotfix(s) Installed.[/quote]

  9. Axe0,

    The reason I separated the zip is because I could not upload the file as is - my computer opened to the next level all by itself, no matter how many times I tried to upload the entire zip. Why?

    I hired and paid a tech $180 to choose, install, and run ASC and all the other Iobit programs, mentioned above. Driver Booster, all of them. Twenty-four drivers installed. He started by cleaning everything on Windows 7 and a few days into our marathon tech-a-thon, he upgraded me to Win 10. Holy crap.

    The changes go back to the 3rd week of January - Do I restore back to the first time or wipe Win 10?
    You make it sound as if I just did something recently, but does it change anything that this has been going on since then? How do I deal with this? If I go back to when my computer wasn't crashing, it was a few weeks ago. More questions than answers, although you are very clear.

    With the "notification area," you would think that I'm informed about any update errors, but I already know that's it's a crappy app and doesn't tell you about failed updates. Not sure with Win 10 how to look for failed updates. Will check for hotfixes.

    Is Perfect Uninstaller (small script or program) any good?

    It's conceivable that this computer isn't equipped to handle Win10? That would be shocking. I'll call Asus....

    I"m sure I have more questions.
    Awesome work, though, Axe0.
    Thank you.

    That is a tech who doesn't do its job right, many normal users with not much knowledge of Windows know that IObit is very improper either by reviews or because of their own experience.

    It would be better to clean install Windows 10 instead of using a restore point.

    The logs tell if an update fail, but I want to know what update failed exactly *Smile
    In the history of Windows Updates you can see what update failed.

    I personally use Revo Uninstaller, it is a proper program that I've used to remove malware programs easily that would sometimes require a clean install to get rid of. It is also recommended by some other users that are quite well with Windows as most of the users around are.

    It can handle W10, per the minimum requirements, ASUS just doesn't provide support for it.

    Please do not hesitate to ask and I'll try to answer as many as possible *Smile
     
  11. Axe0,

    The terminology you - the log - used is foreign to Win 10. Just ask!
    Cumulative Update - Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based Systems (KB3156421) failed to install.

    We upgraded to 10 because I've been having issues with an HP AIO (almost new) since November - it's never been fixed. With Windows cutting off support for 7, he insisted. Can't argue with that logic.

    I researched Total Care - but I focused on av/malware. I missed all the negative reviews, but I still run malwarebytes. I've never had a program like this. I rather fix my own screwups when I can, but some OEM troubleshooters are great. To be honest, I trusted this guy who had many great reviews.

    Sometimes you gotta trust. Other than this drama, I don't get infections, I update when told, I don't download from strange places, I backup daily, etc. Except for this, my computer is perfectly healthy and operating beautifully. Right!

    This man worked with me for over twenty hours and we still have MORE work to do. I sent him an email to warn him about ASC, to let him know I have big issues, and to ask him about Asus compatibility. Glad you clarified that it's not a compatibility issue per se .

    To the BSODs, I mentioned to somebody that just before my system crashes, the webcam light flickers. He suggested that I make Flash ask to activate, so I changed the setting. Does that description ring a bell with you?

    For my purposes, is there a difference for refresh or reset? This is my biz computer, so of course, I need Office Outlook and my golden .PST files.

    Thank you for Revo Installer and for the fine little details.

    IObit malwarefighter steals/stole the stuff from Malwarebytes what makes it 'good', Malwarbytes has proven this.
    However, they cannot compete with Malwarebytes even when they're stealing from Malwarebytes.

    I'm sorry, but I don't understand this line.

    They can easily get great reviews, from users who do not know what the techs are doing or why the techs are doing it.
    It doesn't make them a great guy though.
    I could easily mess with many computers in my neighbour, claim that I've done a great job by fooling them and get great reviews in no time.

    With a refresh you keep settings, user data and user accounts, everything else is restored as to what you started with.
    A reset is "Reset your PC prepares the PC for recycling or for transfer of ownership by reinstalling the OS, removing all user accounts and contents (e.g. data, Classic Windows applications, and Universal Windows apps), and restoring preinstalled customizations to their factory state."
    From Reset Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

    Though I would recommend that you perform a clean install instead, you'll loose everything then but in many cases that is a + because many do not want the preinstalled stuff.
     
  13. Kernel_security_check_failure

    Axe0,

    How was your weekend?

    My response was to the fact that I searched Win for "Hotfix," instead of updates. "Hotfix" is not a search term to be found inside my computer.

    Hiring techs: There were a few other techs I interviewed before selecting the person I did. I only asked the questions necessary for my immediate issues and the fault lies with me not being knowledgeable to ask better questions. At any rate, when I sent him an email to let him know my issues with Iobit - especially Driver Booster and ASC, he got defensive. I told him that dumps aren't arbitrary opinions, which is what he seemed to imply. Am I wrong?


    What's new is that the tech from Firefox told me to change the Flash addon to "Ask to Activate." I said something to him that I hadn't mentioned to the MS techs, which was that my webcam would flicker just before crashing. Before I changed Flash, I completely uninstalled Iobit and its attendant programs. It took a very long time to wipe everything - which surprised me. (I need a program that thinks for me, as I had to look up too many paths.) So, over the weekend, I spent a couple of hours each day opening emails that had - prior to Friday - resulted in multiple crashes a day. So far, it has been extremely quiet and uneventful. It's hard to believe that my blue screens seem to be gone, finally.

    I haven't yet tried to install the failed update. That may be a problem. Did you check out the Cumulative Update I referenced? I imagine I should try to install it, especially before the June CU gets installed on my computer.

    I have questions for you:

    Is more than one interpretation possible?
    Why did Microsoft take to long to tell me nothing?
    Their response after my sending eight or so separate reports between PowerShell, MEMORY, and minidumps was surprisingly (to me) non-descriptive and too long in coming.

    "The dumps clearly show that Firefox is corrupting memory in a way that makes Windows unstable, so Windows is blue-screening itself to prevent ongoing corruption. The fault itself is somewhere in Firefox, and we don't have the possibility of debugging that."

    What else (not BSOD related) would the reports tell me? Can I see them?
    I have other issues and if I could fix them, it would be excellent.

    Have you a debugged report to send me?

    It's awesome! The only thing is that it's hard to say if both solutions were the reason or just one.
    I welcome your input.
    Thank you for your help.

    Please don't blame yourself, it is not your fault but the fault from the tech who is not knowledgeable.

    Could you bring me in contact with this tech? I'd like to talk to him.

    You're not wrong, the dump is generated from the memory that holds data that is loaded from the system at the time of the crash, a dump can only tell facts *Smile

    The cumulative update is re-released every month holding new patches for critical vulnerabilities and improvements, it'll only grow bigger everytime. You install it once and the next month only the new stuff is downloaded and installed.
    This update holds almost all monthly security updates and improvements so it is recommended that you try to install it a.s.a.p. again

    I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to, but in many cases there is.

    You know as much as I do, I guess they're just very busy with all the millions of customers they try to help everyday. That would be the only reason I can think of why Microsoft can take a long time to answer something.

    Where does this come from?

    The files can tell a lot of things, but the value of them depends on what you're looking for *Smile
    As things are changing I would ask that you upload a new zip if you would like to know what other things can be told from the files.

    Everyone who wants can see them, in some cases you have to know how to read it though.

    What issues exactly?
     
  15. Exactly -
    1. Since original upgrade, I have an Access Denied message on Notepad, which opens to desktop.

    2. What's wrong with Permissions? Permissions might be what's making it impossible for my computer to talk to my printer using desktop app (HP Solution Center). I can't instruct printer to print this or that document.

    I don't know what is wrong. I get repeated errors (you don't have permission). I am owner, user, admin, installer, etc. I know how to change permissions to - for instance - copy the dump files to desktop to compress and upload to OneDrive, but why did I have to change permissions on every single document that I transferred? Changing the folder didn't work. I think I also changed the C drive. At this point, I probably did TOO much.
    I find Microsoft instructions impossible to follow. To me, it's not in a language that I understand and never can be. It's backwards.

    3. I have Windows 7 Backup and Restore errors since 10 upgrade.
    "Windows cannot enable/disable the automatic backup job because Element not found (0x80070490)."
    First error says cannot enable, second message says it cannot disable. Error # is the same on both. Program performs the backups (and makes images), but never without errors.

    4. After I crashed last week, I lost Windows Defender. I installed BitDefender, but why did that happen? The WUshowhide program released the hidden update ( (KB3156421), so it might have happened in the rollback after BSOD. Why did the Hide/Unhide troubleshooter relinquish the hidden update?
    The entire saga is on the MS Forum page - especially if I'm forgetting sequence. I had about 40 crashes.

    5. What Event Viewer errors can I fix/eliminate - especially repeated service (and other) errors during BSODs?

    6. With the Win10 interface, when boxes open on computer - particularly Backup & Restore - the bottom of the box (where you click, "next") is hidden by the taskbar and sometimes I have a problem opening or closing the program. Can this be tweaked? Can this MS installing my updates be changed so that I CAN install and shutdown at the end of the day, when I"m ready? This is Home version.

    7. How do I modify index so that search excluded Recycle Bin/can I permanently change Control Panel to small icons?
    In spite of finding instructions, I couldn't match it to what I viewed or follow them.

    Being that I went to Win 10 unexpectedly, and I've now had a few months to become familiar, you can see that some things are cosmetic. Anthony and I didn't finish what we started - but I intend to. And to preempt your possible question, yes, it's counterproductive to spend $ on somebody who actually breaks your computer. I still hope that he can fix printer and rid me of the duplicate files from a mistake that was carried into my upgrade. That's tedious clean up - where "pay the guy" is advantageous.

    This is most, I think.
    I am happy to answer any questions.
    Do you want me to post new zip here?
    Thank you for offering, Axe0.
