Windows 10 I'm having a BSOD Stop Code DPC Watchdog Violation (could it be because of removing and installing Cortana via store then powershell?)

I got paranoid when Cortana invades a bit of my privacy so I searched how to uninstall it. Without knowing the disclaimers when using the Powershell I used this code


Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.549981C3F5F10 | Remove-AppxPackage


Then I used this:


Get-AppXPackage -Name Microsoft.Windows.Cortana | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}


Which is the wrong code. It should be for allusers. I managed to install cortana again but the built in settings were gone



Then I used this even with the new Cortana installed so I could revert it back to the built in features (it did not retain the built in options):


Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers Microsoft.549981C3F5F10 | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}


Since then I got BSOD once a day or once every two days. I can still use the laptop. My latest crash is not even a BSOD. It just crashed according to the event viewer. My drivers are updated, i scanned the drives via cmd. I did a Windows PC reset and the BSOD still persists. I know that DPC Watchdog Violation are mostly hardware. But for what i know, it could be software issues. Maybe after installing a cortana from the store then activating a reregister cortana powershell command. I accidentally have two cortana. The PC always fails to create dumps so I dont really know. Will a clean install or having a new windows installed solve this and have the bundled/built in cortana with its built in settings back? I want trusted answers please. I can't afford to ruin my new PC.
