    Windows crash due to "The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load."


    Hello, Recently I have been experiencing windows crashes, with the following error showing up in Event Viewer each time:The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load. Device: ROOT\DISPLAY\0000 Status: 0xC0000365A BSOD is not shown, and no mini/dump files are generated, despite that I have the windows "Startup and Recovery" settings configured correctly. I am not certain as to what is causing the issue. All the "normal" and commonly recommeded steps were done DISM, sfc, check for windows update.

    :)

    WUDFRd Driver Failed to Load

    Usually this is a Kernel-Pnp message telling you that WUDFRd failed to load a device.
    ex:
    The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device USB\VID_138A&PID_003D
    or
    The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device ACPI\HPQ6000\3&b1bfb68&0.

    so first thing is to see what device it could not load.

    The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device


    Full event error: The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device {C5A047D8-CB5B-40E9-B9E3-316AB06B5A18}\WirelessKeyboardFilter`

    Driver environment:
    Windows 10 x64 desktop
    I have a wireless Microsoft mouse
    I do not have a Microsoft wireless keyboard
    I have the associated transceiver that should work for both (if installed)

    This problem started when my Microsoft wireless mouse driver was updated to version 1.0.102.0 (dated 3/16/2016).
    This driver update also appears to be responsible for a few other device errors as well:

    I believe this new driver assumes you have a wireless keyboard (without checking) and just tries to load a driver for it.

    My temporary fix is/was to rollback the driver to the previous Microsoft version 10.0.10586.0 (dated 6/21/2006):

    Anyone else run across this condition or have a known solution using the latest driver?

    Thanks,

    The driver \Driver\WudfRd failed to load for three devices and wudfrd.dll missing

    Hi, i have been experiencing the driver verifier dma violation bsod several times by now in my hp laptop. My event viewer shows me the following warnings and i don't really know if they are related:

    The driver \Driver\WudfRd failed to load for the device USB\VID_04F3&PID_0C00\5&22b8dd10&0&7.

    The driver \Driver\WudfRd failed to load for the device {DD8E82AE-334B-49A2-AEAE-AEB0FD5C40DD}\DetectionVerification\5&2fe66db4&0&0.

    The driver \Driver\WudfRd failed to load for the device PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9A03&SUBSYS_87FE103C&REV_01\3&11583659&0&20.

    The wudfrd.dll file and the windows drivers foundation are missing.

    I alredy tried to delete and autenticate the .dll file without success.

    I should also note that I already ran several hardware tests (extensive tests) without finding any error and reinstalled my OS twice without success in fixing my problem.
