Frequent BSOD mostly on FLTMGR.SYS since latest Windows Update Jan 17 2025

My relatively new build was running fine for a few months though not used heavily until last 2 weeks. 2 nights ago an automatic update ran and since then very flaky with BSOD a constant guest. I tried backing-out the update and it didn't help.

Yesterday I updated some drivers that were older than latest and changed the frequency on my 2 sticks of memory from the lowest frequency to middle. Multiple memory tests before and after, some failed some succeeded, succeeded consistently after changing frequency. I would swap sticks and errors would go away, put both back in and errors wouldn't come back!

This morning updated drivers on LAN and Network and BSOD came back. Almost always FLTMGR.SYS -- I have checked my SSD hardware and no problems, have run all the recovery commands over and over. Errors not found...

Will run fine for hours, then crash...

Here is link to my V2 Log Collector: WTDEV3-(2025-01-18_14-55-14).zip

Drivers, newest BSOD includes this set:

1) Run Tuneup plus > post a share link






2) Read this link on Windows Driver Verifier (WDV):

Enable and Disable Driver Verifier in Windows 10



3) Create a new restore point




4) Learn the methods to recover from BSOD caused by WDV by booting into safe mode and running one or more of these commands:

verifier /reset

verifier /bootmode resetonbootfail









5) Plan to run the tool with various customized test settings.

a) Test all non-Microsoft drivers

b) Test no Microsoft drivers

c) For the first run of WDV select the 3 customized tests displayed in the TF tutorial






6) Whenever the WDV tool is started if there is no immediate BSOD then open administrative command prompt and copy and paste:

verifier /querysettings

Post a share link.



Customized tests will then be posted for the next run of WDV.



WDV can run continuously during the testing.



For any BSOD post a new V2 share link into the newest post.
