Windows 10: PFN_LIST_CORRUPT BSoD at third boot during Windows 10 upgrade to 1909

Hello,

I am finally ending here after having spent quite a lot of time stripping down software, drivers, and possible causes of my issue.

I have a Windows 10 Pro 1809 rig that needs an upgrade to 1909. It has successfully upgraded from previous Windows 10 versions in the past through Windows Update, without issue. This had upgraded from Windows 7 successfully.

However this time, the following occurs :
Upgrade process via WU, Upgrade Assistant, or via USB image (offline upgrade) goes OK until the SECOND_BOOT phase, after the Windows setup has detected the hardware and installed its drivers again, which is visible through the screen resolution that becomes sharp and neat during this process.

During Offline upgrade attempt using USB, I got this error code :
0xC1900101 - 0x40017
SECOND_BOOT phase, with an error during BOOT operation
Basically, after the second boot, shortly after the Windows logo shows up, a PFN_LIST_CORRUPT blue screen shows up.
Windows reboots, tries something to repair, but same BSoD after repair attempt.
So Windows rolls back everything back to 1809, and I'm stuck there.

This occuring at the boot time of a Windows 10 barely at the end of an upgrade process, and the system rollbacking each time, I have not found a MEMORY.DMP file to help me.

What I did already to narrow down possible causes :
- Uninstall crap
- Uninstall BitDefender, only leaving Windows Defender
- Removed optional Windows features
- Forced-disable Hyper-V including in bcdedit
- Unplugged non-necessary peripherals aside ETH, Keyboard, mouse and Screen
- Used DriverStoreExplorer to remove old and useless drivers from DriverStore
- Ensures the remaining drivers aren't abysmally old
- Ran DISM /RestoreHealth numerous times (no issues)
- Ran Memory Check (no issues as well)
- Disabled useless features in BIOS including VT-D, PCI and non-urgent controller stuff

Yet, still get this PFN_LIST_CORRUPT thing, and hardly a clue.
Windows is extremely stable, and errors are rare, if they ever happen.

Thus, I am here, and attach logs and what I could get.

This hard drive has a dual-boot setup with a Linux next to the Windows, meaning I could access the Windows partition easily, before some of the reboots if necessary (which may be an idea).
Yet I am questioning if Grub2 being on the MBR could be the cause, but I doubt it.

I thank you in advance for your help.

:)

 

PFN_LIST_CORRUPT Windows 10

Hi,

The issue you're experiencing with having a blue screen with an error code PFN_LIST_CORRUPT might be due to a variety of reasons, and that is what we are going to find out. To help us identify the cause of this issue, we would need to know the following
information:

• Which build and edition of Windows is installed on your computer?
• What particular activity are you doing on your device before this issue happened?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

In the meantime, we suggest performing a clean boot on your device. Check if the same issue persists even after booting the device into a clean boot. This
link provides further information about how clean boot works and the steps on how to perform clean boot. Make sure to follow the steps under Windows
10.

We are looking forward to your response.

 

PFN_List_Corrupt

Hi there,

I have been trying to fix a BSOD error of PFN_List_Corrupt for a few weeks now with my Windows 10 install. It's very random, but annoying. I've run memtest a few times with no findings. I've reinstalled various drivers and no luck. I just recently did a
fresh Win 8.1 install to the SSD and then upgraded to Win 10. I am assuming I need to do another fresh install of 10, but before going through that, I thought I would ask the community if there was an easy PFN_List_Corrupt fix. I've searched around a fair
bit and tried some of the suggested fixes, but so far, nothing has worked.

Verifier.exe puts me in a BSOD loop. Luckily, I had a system restore point and used that.

Here is a link to my three most recent Minidump files:

https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=B4BF95F24B6E9113!1861&authkey=!ADSF2Gya0dkB-qo&ithint=file,zip

Three different driver crashes here

- First one, the PFN_List_Corrupt (0x0000004e) caused by ntoskrnl.exe

- Second one, Nvlddmkm.sys

- Third one, Driver Verifier BSOD loop caused by aswsnx.sys (my Avast antivirus) as well as ntoskrnl.exe

Anyway, would love any suggestions as to best go about repairing this. Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:

• Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
• Try different keyboard or mouse.
• Restart computer, repeatedly.
• Google for related issues.
• Update Bios, because why not.
• Create boot media and revert to windows 7.

The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.
