Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I understand how frustrating it is when things doesn’t work at times.



To Troubleshoot this situation, follow the below steps:

Step 1:

I would suggest you to download an ISO image of Windows 10 and try to create installation media using the Media Creation tool.

Installation Media tool:

Once the bootable media is created, follow next step:

Step 2: Perform Start up Repair.

Follow the steps mentioned below to perform Start up Repair:

a. Insert the installation DVD or USB and boot Windows 10 from it.

b. Select “Troubleshooting” from the first Window and then select “Advance Options”.

c. Then select “Automatic Repair/Start up repair” from “Advanced options” window.

This will help you to boot into your Operating system again.

Windows 10 WDF_VIOLATION bsod on boot

Every time I turn on my computer it tries to do a recovery but before it can I get a bsod. It says to look up WDF_VIOLATION. I have, but I couldn't a solution. I've created a recovery drive but it's useless because I can't access the boot options. What
do I do?

 

BSOD WDF_Violation When Trying to do a Reset or Clean Install with Media

Thank you for your prompt response.

1. There is no error code on the screen associated with the WDF_Violation BSOD.

Pressing the shift key and holding the power button did no put the computer into recovery options, it simply booted into Windows 10 normally.

I did attempt to boot while holding the F8 key putting it into Automatic Repair status and that resulted in the same BSOD WDF_Violation.

The link you provided regarding the Bug Check 0x10D WDF_Violation did not apply as I don't have that error code, nor did it provide any details of how to correct it.

Please provide some additional ideas.

Thanks.
