V2 Log Collector Output
I am experiencing a Windows crash dump rather freqently - today it happened probably about 5 times or more. Note that this only happens under a very specific set of circumstances. Outside of that particular circumstance it NEVER happens.
Detailed Information:
The stop code I am receiving is precisely the same thing every time...
Stop Code: FAT_FILE_SYSTEM
What failed: volmgr.sys
Here is what I am doing when the fault occurs...
I have written a program that prepares a thumb drive and makes it bootable. The program first runs diskpart to perform a "clean" operation on the drive, then, depending upon what operation I choose, performs either a "convert gpt" or "convert mbr", creates several partitions both FAT32 and NTFS, and then copies Windows install media to the drive to make a bootable disk.
I cannot see at exactly what point the failure is occurring, but it seems that it is likely when the partitions are being created on the flash drive.
Please note I at first suspected my program as potentially being faulty, however, I have created a batch file that performs many of the same operations and the problem happens there as well.
I cannot say yet with 100% certainty, but I think that the issue only happens if the flash drive is currently GPT and I then perform a "clean" followed by a "convert mbr" on that drive. I believe that it does not happen if the drive is already using an MBR.
What I have tried:
Tried multiple different flash drives of various brands and capacities ranging from 16GB to 256GB in size.
Tried multiple USB ports, both on a hub and direct connection to PC.
Tested with all overclocking disabled.
Tested on 2 laptop running same Windows 11. Interestingly, even though both laptops are slightly out of spec for Win 11 (7th gen and 6th gen i7 CPUs), I could not get the problem to occur on those systems.
Detailed System Specs:
ASUS Prime Z590-A motherboard (FW is at latest version)
Intel Core i7-11700K CPU (11th Gen Rocket Lake / LGA 1200 Socket)

HP Envy 32 monitor featuring 32 inch 2560 x 1440 display
Edifier R1280DB powered speakers
Installed Expansion Cards:
Fenvi WiFi 6E / Bluetooth 5.2 PCIe adapter (uses Intel AX210 WiFi module) (PCIe Slot 3)

NOTE: No GPU installed at this time, currently using Intel Graphics on-board the CPU.
Operating System:
Windows 11 with updates through October 2021 Patch Tuesday (Oct 12, 2021).
