Build 14366 BSODs and Reset - Advice Appreciated
Slow Ring member updated to Build 14366 yesterday with no issues (initially)
Tested apps, etc, all ran normally.
Post-Install ran complete scans with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free and Defender, both scans reported clean
Post_Install ran sfc /scannow, clean report
Stressed with Prime95 Blend 2 Hours, clean
Everything was working normally
Last action last night was activating Dropbox, been uploading album collection, 30k+ files, about halfway through, 15k remain to sync, will take better part of month to complete 250GB upload at 800Kbps upload speed. I set it to use full bandwidth each night before bed.
I did not think to check the Power Settings last night. Normally just turn off monitors, leaving PC operational throughout night, no sleep mode, etc. I'm thinking the error may have occurred when it tried to Sleep or Shut Down while full upload bandwidth was being used by Dropbox, just a guess.
This morning greeted with BSOD, BSOD on screen 2 was actually pixelated, new encounter for me.
Attempted normal restart - fail
Booted into Bios, reset default settings, attempted normal reboot - fail
Rebooted again, W10 loaded, but with problems, missing background, could not identify Wireless Adapter, then another BSOD
Used W10 Recovery Disk to repair startup - fail
Booted into W10, still messed up, attempted Refresh - fail
Decided to Reset W10, keeping files but losing settings and installed apps. Successful operation.
Now running Build 14342.rs1_release.160506-1708 without issues. Successful sfc /scannow and P95 stress.
Like a dummy, I stopped creating automatic restore points (already have one for current state)
My windows.old folder on my OS drive appears intact, the one created prior to Build 14366 update.
I'd like to try to revert to that installation, hoping my apps and settings will still be in place. However, I'm a little concerned given today's problems.
Objective: Use refresh/reset/restore/rollback to reinstall everything from windows.old created yesterday prior to 14366 update. Avoid having to reinstall apps and settings.
I believe there is little risk as I now have (I think) a stable OS with a restore point to come back to if it goes sideways. However, before I attempt I thought I'd solicit some feedback.
Thanks!

I have now added the Debug zip attachment. Thanks!
