    watchdog violation after windows update


    So I have an Old pc upgraded to Win 10, worked ok at the weekend. But after a windows Auto update I get a Watchdog violation every 10 mins or so. I guess some driver has been 'updated' by windows and is causing a crash ? Heres the log. Hope someone can help or at least tell me which driver I need to downgrade. I hate windows update it just breaks things.

    Hi happyhiker,

    I would suggest you to check Dell for driver updates.
    The Nvidia storage driver has caused the crashes.
    Code:
    *** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for nvstor.sys
    *** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for nvstor.sys
    0: kd> lmvm nvstor
    start    end        module name
    829c0000 829e5000   nvstor   T (no symbols)           
        Loaded symbol image file: nvstor.sys
        Image path: \SystemRoot\System32\drivers\nvstor.sys
        Image name: nvstor.sys

    ok thanks, that makes sense as that caused BSOD on initial install. Windows Update must have backed out the driver.

    You can check it by looking at the Windows Update history :)
