Hello essenbe, lifetec,
Re: "any program provided by X10 or X10nets", it is a stand-alone legacy program providing the software interface to my home automation system. I have to run it manually when I boot my computer (I don't believe it has a registry entry, but may be wrong.) It communicates via a USB port to the hardware interface. =>I can disconnect it if required.<=
=>lifetec, The X10 Device does stop from time to time, usually during Sleep. It's been doing this in Win 7 as well. I've learned to live with this minor annoyance since it is a Win98 or XP program, but continues to be useful.

I don't use CCcleaner, but my Norton may be doing cleanups "without asking me first". (?)

Yes, my system is configured for Restore Points; currently set for Max Usage: 3.42 GB, 4% (10.00 GB) on a 250 GB SSD reserved for system and program files. FWIW: Additionally, there are two 1.00 TB (spinning) hard drives for personal data and backups. (Backups are also stored on an external, off-site drive.) And there is 16 GB RAM Memory.

Re: Memory Dumps - *Was set for "Small memory dump (256 KB)*. Is that sufficient, or should I change it to something larger? Is it strange that there are no dump files in the DMLog? Perhaps it's because the last failure/crash was several days ago. (?)

Re: sfc /scannow: First try -> "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

Being pro-active, I will shut down and unplug my X10 Interface. Re-boot, turn off Norton and run another DMLog in case that is useful to you.
I understand we may need to wait for another crash to capture a dump.
Thank you both kindly for your detailed assistance!
Best,
