I've encountered this twice in the past month while trying to use my machine after a Windows 10 update.


In both cases, the only solution I could think to make was to restore my machine to a point created prior to installing the update.


Behavior:

  • Update installs, and after reboot I get to the log-in screen.
  • I login as per usual.
  • Approximately 15 seconds or so after I log in, the machine hits a BSOD (Stop Code: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED)
  • Process continues until I enter advanced troubleshooting where I can restore to my image backup on my external hd.
  • I can enter Safe Mode and Safe Mode With Networking.


Obviously, I either refuse to update Windows every chance I get (hey, I can turn on "Defer upgrades" in my Settings, yes?) or I commit the insanity of possibly going through this with every update while expecting a different result.


Some cursory searching led me to this link for a potential solution, albeit from a third party site: http://windowsreport.com/kmode-exception-windows-10/


With all that background, here's my question: Is there a formal solution posted for this problem on Microsoft.com*? Or am I safe to try the WindowsReport version?


In either case, I'm really hoping there's something I can do that DOESN'T involve restoring to an earlier image and therefore wiping out any work stored locally since my last backup.
