Windows 10: What to do when recent Windows 11 Update makes my computer BSOD?

I updated my Computer from Build 10.0.22621.1413 to Build 10.0.22621.1992 KB5028185 Update. Prior to that update, everything was fine and no errors and crashes occurred. I updated my graphics driver AMD Adrenalin to the latest version and ASUS Armoury Crate. So those three updates happened at the same day.The day after the updates have been properly installed and restarted, while browsing on the internet my screen froze and BSOD with the code "DPC_Watchdog_Violation". After that I booted my computer again and it froze and crashed with the BSOD saying "CRITICAL PROCESS DIED". I booted it up

Recently used items does not show after a recent Windows update

Hello Timothy,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and we regret for the inconvenience. Let me assist you.

To be able to assist you better, let us know a few more details on the below questions.

1) Did you make any recent changes to the computer?

2) Did you check if similar issues occur when logged in to the computer using a different user account?

3) Do you have any system restore point set prior to the issue?

To check if there is any Restore Point already created, follow the below steps.

• 
  Press Windows key + X, select System.
  
• 
  In the left pane, click on System Protection.
  
• 
  Select the option to system restore > next. It will show all restore points already created.
  

4) What is the particular Windows update you are referring to?

To do so, you need to check the settings through Windows update. Follow the below steps.

• Open the Settings Charm with the shortcut Windows Key
  
  +
  I.
• Click/tap Change PC settings.
• Click on the Update and recovery and click on the View your update history.
  
• You will now see a list of your installed Windows Updates. If you click on any one of the
  "Successfully installed on (date)" links

As an initial step towards troubleshooting, I suggest you to check if the 'recently used item' feature is hidden. If yes, uncheck the options. Follow the below steps.

• Right click on Taskbar and choose Properties.
• Select the tab Start Menu.
• Uncheck both the options for:
  
  1) Store and display recently opened programs in the Start Menu
  
  2) Store and display recently opened items in the Start Menu and the Task Bar
• Also select a higher number recent items to display in Jump List

If the above does not apply, please follow the below suggested methods and check in case if it is a functionality issue in Windows.

Method 1

This issue may happen due to system file corruption. I suggest you to run System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly follow
the below given steps:

• 
  Press Windows key + X, select
  Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.
  
• 
  In Command prompt type
  sfc/scannow and press enter.
  
• 
  Restart the computer.

in Windows 10

Method 2

If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state or were irrecoverable, then I suggest you to try the following steps to deploy the DISM command lines:

• 
  Press Windows key + X.
  
• 
  Click command prompt (Run as administrator).
  
• 
  In the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type the following commands. Press Enter key after each command:
  
  DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
  
  DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
  
  To close the Administrator: Command prompt window, type Exit, and then press Enter.

BSOD on new computer while gaming

I just got a new computer about a month ago. Everything is new and I get BSOD (windows 10) while gaming mostly although it sometimes happens while I'm just using the computer. Sometimes the computer doesn't BSOD and just gives me a Access Violation Error. Not sure if related.

Here is the link to download output files from the V2 script.

Any help is appreciated

Steps I have taken:

• Updated all drivers and bios to latest versions

• Checked ram with windows memory test to see if ram is faulty. (A stick was and it was removed waiting for replacement)

• Clean Installed Windows after finding faulty ram

• I had 2 x 2080Ti installed, I removed one, tested and then swapped cards; issue still exist
