    While Windows driver verifier is on it can cause performance problems and very slow boot.

    The problems that you're having with the computer were caused by forgetting to turn off Windows driver verifier with 20 simultaneous customized test settings.

    While in safe mode:
    1) See if you can boot > troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings >
    click restart > click 2 to enable boot logging > indicate whether it creates a new BSOD

    Did this yesterday with no problems

    2) reboot into safe mode > in the left lower corner type: msconfig > click boot tab > in boot options check the box: Boot log > click Apply > click OK > reboot > indicate whether it creates a new BSOD
    3) open safe mode > search for %WinDir%\ntbtlog.txt (or search for ntbtlog)
    4) in the left lower corner of safe mode type: notepad
    5) click file > click open > type %WinDir%\ntbtlog.txt (or search for ntbtlog)
    6) post a share link using one drive, drop box, or google drive
    7) In safe mode > open administrative command prompt
    9) Type: cd C:\Windows\System32\drivers
    10) Type: dir
    11) Type: ren nvhda64v.sys nvhda64v.sys.old
    12) Type: exit
    13) Reboot

    All done files attached

    14) If it boots into normal boot > run V2
    Can't run in normal mode got error message I attached above

    15) Reboot into safe mode if there is another BSOD and run V2
    No BSOD but ran it anyway

    They had me run driver verifier with my last problem here but never told me
    to turn it off. I think I understand the procedure. I'm going to try now, need
    to download it again.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Hope I did this right...Going to reboot because it still is running sluggish

    - - - Updated - - -

    Still running bogged down...driving me crazy!! haha

    - - - Updated - - -

    Grrrrrrrr….I goggled how to fix sluggish PC and came across an article about services
    you can disable to help fix this. So I went down the list and did some of them.

    I tried to create a restore point and got this error message but I'm not
    sure which service I must have disabled to cause this. Restore was
    working fine before I pulled this stunt.

    Anybody have any ideas ?

    I do find that it is not so sluggish now, just screwed up system restore

    Easy fix had to start Volume Shadow Copy service...didn't even touch this one

    issue I had before, with windows shutting down by itself. Took copies of who crashed files
    attached.

    For step 18 check the installed software.
    I'm looking for software that could interfere with the running of V2.


    For startup and recovery system failure:
    a) uncheck automatically restart
    b) change small memory dump to automatic memory dump
    c) reboot to maintain settings



    Check msconfig > make sure normal startup is checked > reboot > post an image into the thread



    Post new images for startup and recovery system failure.



    Copy and paste the Powershell script into administrative Powershell > click enter > click OK > when it completes post a share link into this thread

    Programs installed is attached

    PowerShell error messages attached won't run

    Step 13 attached

    Think that is everything. Just to reiterate
    a. V2 will not run in normal mode (For me)
    b. Those PowerShell codes issue errors (For me)

    - - - Updated - - -

    My Startup and Recovery settings are already set to what you
    posted. I thought I posted a ss of it, but here is another

    - - - Updated - - -

    Here is my msconfig settings. What should I do here ?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Post new images for startup and recovery system failure

    I posted a copy of WhoCrashed log have no images of any failures

    - - - Updated - - -

    I was reading about this Nvidia issues in post #3. If this is a problem
    with my version of windows 10 then I guess I just have to wait for a
    fix because that is what is causing all my problems is Nvidia drivers.

    If I missed anything let me know and I will
    get to it later.

    Thanks so much

    1) Backup important files to another drive or the cloud.

    2) Find a flash drive that you can format (> or = 8 GB).

    3) Create a bootable Windows 10 iso:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...load/windows10
    Download Windows 10 ISO File
    Create Bootable USB Flash Drive to Install Windows 10

    4) Open command prompt at boot:
    Open Command Prompt at Boot in Windows 10

    5) Type the applicable command to start Windows in normal mode: (see option 3 step 5)
    Modify as needed: bcdedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot

    6) Reboot

    7) Run V2 > upload results directly into this thread

    Everything seems to be working OK. I have all my files backed up and
    as I said earlier, I have purchased a windows 10 installation. I think for
    now I am just going to leave things as they are and wait for some kind
    of fix for my Nvidia drivers. I appreciate all your help.
