Windows 10: Windows 11 explorer.exe causing CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED error

HelloA few months after installing Windows 11 on my new laptop i started experiencing random BSOD errors. They would happen in absolutely random time, no matter if the laptop was being used or idling. The BSOD error code is always CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED. This is what i found analyzing my latest Minidump using WinDbg:CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED efDebugging Details: ------------------ BUGCHECK_CODE: ef BUGCHECK_P1: ffff82899998a0c0BUGCHECK_P2: 0 BUGCHECK_P3: ffff82899998a0c0BUGCHECK_P4: 0 TAG_NOT_DEFINED_202b: *** Unknown TAG in analysis list 202b PROCESS_NAME: explorer.exe CRITICAL_PROCESS:

[BSOD] CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED 0x0EF - 'ntoskrnl,exe'

Hang on a second, no. As far as the rules are concerned VPNs from legitimate sources are not illegal. You don't have the right to 'force' someone to remove a piece of software that:

1. Is not causing the issue related to the crashes
2. is not pirated software or illegal

Cloudflare WARP does not have a windivert file that I can find, even if it did, again, its not against the forum rules because it is not an illegal system file in of itself.
