Oh shoot, I just realized there were actually some other non-microsoft drivers I didn't select. Anything after M alphabetically I didn't select

I reset the Verifier then restarted my computer, it completed the shutdown portion but right now my computer is turned on and the monitor is black when it should be rebooting. it took a bit longer to restart after doing more tests the last time, it seems like restarting the computer after doing more tests takes longer. it's taking quite a while though...

WDV will stress the CPU.
There can be slow boots too.

I guess I will just wait for it to restart then. still just looking at a black screen.

I guess I'll ask in the meantime, what are we hoping to learn from these tests? I was getting the BSODs when the Logitech drivers were being tested, and not since then. it seems like the Logitech drivers are the clear culprit right? what else are we trying to learn

it's been trying to restart for just over 15 minutes now. I'm a little concerned it's taking this long to post to BIOS. is this normal?

Logitech drivers were recurrent misbehaving after fresh installations.

The additional testing is to double / triple check.


Restart WDV with the settings in post #45 > run for 24 hours > if there are no BSOD > update Windows > post a new V2 > if there are no BSOD that will complete the troubleshooting.

Boot into safe mode with multiple power offs as needed.

Right now I can't do anything, it's still trying to restart. should I leave it be or should I try turning it off and on again or something?

Alright, a simple power off and on booted normally. Verifier successfully reset. So, assuming the Logitech drivers are the only problem (and it sure seems like they are), does that mean I simply can't use Logitech software on my system?

There were no WDV GPU BSOD.

They were all Logitech.

It's best to report to Logitech and find alternative software / drivers.

Clearly zbook has got this handled. I'm just wondering if you updated your BIOS before you did all this work. If so, great. The reason I'm asking is because I just discovered yesterday that I needed to re-flash my BIOS after my own little recent mishap. If you do have regular peripherals that don't require specialized drivers or software (like LOGI does) it might help to use those standard peripherals to get your system back in order. Personally, I'm weaning myself off Logitech and I'm nearly done with them. They are definitely NOT the Logitech of yesteryear. Fortunately my speakers don't need the specialized software and my web cam works fine without it. Trust me when I say that spinning "L" isn't worth the trouble.

Gave Dell touch screen with Windows 11 to daughter and got me an OTVOC. Being a PC builder I own many desktop PCs as well. I am a father of five providing PCs, laptops, and tablets for all my family, most of which I have modified, rebuilt, or simply built from scratch. I do not own a cell phone, never have, never will.
Thanks a lot for the help everyone, especially you zbook

I did update my BIOS firs yes. And yeah, Logitech is not the company that won my loyalty 16 years ago when I bought the keyboard I'm still using to this day. They used to make good products, but now those products rely on a company that has become rubbish and software that's rubbish as a result. Really disappointing. I'm just gonna have to use my mouse and keyboard with their basic on-board features without the drivers.

FYI, 23H2 has an issue where you can't use DDU in regular Windows mode anymore. I could with 22H2!
With 23H2, you must be in safe mode, or Windows freezes during DDU.

You're welcome.


If you have a lot of free time:

a) Make free or pay backup images and save them to another drive or the cloud
b) Clean install Windows 10 or 11
c) Install Logitech software / drivers
d) Test with WDV
e) When testing has completed restore an image
