Windows 11
I am duel booting Win 11 and Win 10 on a single hard drive.
Both boot up and work fine. No issues at all with the Win 11.
However if I have booted the Win 11 and on the next boot use the Win10, I will get a BSOD with the error Driver Power State Failure.
If I restart, Win 10 will boot fine and continue to let me boot as much as needed until the next time I boot Win 11 again.
Thoughts?
The computer is a Dell Latitude 5520.
Thanks

Dual boot will not cause BSOD error, the Blue Screen of Death (also known as a blue screen or BSoD) is an error screen displayed on a Windows computer system after a fatal system error, also known as a system crash: when the operating system reaches a condition where it can no longer operate safely. BSoDs can be caused by poorly written device drivers or malfunctioning hardware, such as faulty memory, power supply issues, overheating of components, or hardware running beyond its specification limits.

Try turning off hibernation / fast start on each instance.

It can cause odd startup issues of dual boot devices.
