    wuauclt.exe is the cause of random crashes?


    I have been having this problem for a long time, approaching one year now and I'm hoping this is the source of my problems. I keep getting crashes with no error message and no BSOD. But in the windows problem reports it shows a critical event at the time of the crash, "Windows update Stopped working." I'll attach a screenshot of the problem details below, I would like to know how to fix this.

    :)

    Random BSOD while browsing internet


    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.

    Work through steps 1 through 5 and see if that resolves the problem.

    An earlier dump indicates wuauclt.exe as the probable cause.

    GPU-Z 0.7.5 causing crashes on load up

    Any chance you could narrow it down to which running application causes GPU-Z to crash? Ideally steps to reproduce for me here.
