SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED on boot of Insider installer
Hi all,
I have been trying to install the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview build on my laptop (Toshiba Portege Z20T-c) with the following specs:
CPU: Intel Core m5-6y54 @ 1.1Ghz
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 515
Storage: 256GB SSD
I first tried to update from my existing install of 20H2 (19042) to the latest at the time, 21327, however on reboot when the installer is at the first spinning dots bootup phase, it would freeze and blue screen with the error "SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED", but didn't show a specific file or driver that was causing the problem. I then tried to wipe the SSD entirely using a GParted live USB and tried to boot the 21332 installer, however that gave the exact same issue as before. The laptop is able to boot the 20H2 installer and install Windows 10 20H2 just fine so I have no idea what could be causing this. If it helps, Windows Update gave the error code 0xc1900101 when I tried to update from 19042 to 21327.
Any help or guidance is appreciated, TIA!
