Blue Screen Errors (BSOD) on Fresh Windows Install after Using Tool #757

Closed LorandMarton closed 1 year ago

LorandMarton commented 1 year ago

Summary: Upon using the tool on a fresh Windows install, my system became unstable and unresponsive, leading to multiple occurrences of the Blue Screen of Death. The BSOD errors were predominantly "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". I had to reinstall the operating system twice.

Detailed Error Reports: I experienced the following blue screen errors:

  1. IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    • Stop Code: 0x0000000a
    • Parameters: 0000000000000008, 0000000000000002, 0000000000000000, fffff80335219942
    • Caused by: ntoskrnl.exe (ntoskrnl.exe+3fbca0)

  2. IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    • Stop Code: 0x0000000a
    • Parameters: 0000000000000008, 0000000000000002, 0000000000000000, fffff8024c819942
    • Caused by: ntoskrnl.exe (ntoskrnl.exe+3fbca0)

  3. IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    • Stop Code: 0x0000000a
    • Parameters: 0000000000000008, 0000000000000002, 0000000000000000, fffff8043668bc9d
    • Caused by: intelppm.sys (intelppm.sys+11be)

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Install and open the tool.
  2. Navigate to the "Tweaks" section.
  3. Enable the "Set Services to Manual" option.
  4. Run the "Tweaks".

Expected Behavior: The system should continue to operate smoothly with the chosen tweaks (recommended for laptop) applied.

Observed Behavior: The system becomes unstable and unresponsive, leading to multiple blue screen errors.

Workaround: Upon reinstalling the operating system for the third time, I avoided enabling the "Set Services to Manual" option within the tool, which led to stable system performance.

Windows 10 Pro N, 22H2, os build: 19045.2965

Did you install the latest updates of windows ?

Yes

There's a bug now that disables Windows Management Instrument (WMI) instead of making it manual - while your exact issue is quite different, I'd still try this out as even if you didn't get blue screen errors, you'd have to apply this for windows and quite a few programs to work correctly, might be something that makes things pile up on your system until it crashes too:

https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil/issues/735 Basically just do the same steps but set it to manual (instead of disabled) and start it.
