Windows 10: Random BSOD driver powerstate failure

Hello,since a couple of weeks I have a BSOD with "driver power state failure" around twice a week.now I updated all additional drivers, and I have the feeling the frequency has been increased to 2 times a day.So probably that wasn't a good move.A lot of times just before the BSOD I have a cursor freeze, neither my mouse nor my touchpad works, still the keyboard, audio, ongoing calls are working.I'm using win 11 64 bit.I found a few dump files but I don't really know how to read them.Can someone point me in the right direction, Probably I need to update/downgrade some driver, but I don't know w

:)

BitDefender is nothing special. mwac.sys causes BSODs anywhere.
A tiny documentation can be found here: Solved Random BSODs - Windows 10 Forums
In that very thread, the suggested action apparently worked.

The storage and network filters of any third party antivirus can cause BSODs. Neither MBAM nor BitDefender is any special. For a regular antivirus, it may be shifted to an alternative; but MBAM has no alternative. So a clean install of the said program is the most feasible first step.
As far as the first step is not failing, it is better to not think for the second step. Because the BSODs are not universal, failure at the first step is not universal; and success at the second step is also not universal.
That is why I posted that my suggestion may work, or may not. Let us see where it goes.
