Windows driver verifier can be turned on after:
a) making a backup image
b) making a new restore point
c) understanding how to use the computer's windows advanced troubleshooting menu to turn off or recover from using the tool.
The computer may become sluggish while using the tool. And the boots may become slow.
The tool will be used for approximtely 48 hours.
After the last BSOD for an additional 36 hours of typical computer use.
If there are no more BSOD that will complete the use of tool.
Start with the three customized tests in this link:
Enable and Disable Driver Verifier in Windows 10 | Tutorials
As the testing continues additional customized tests may be used:
Driver Verifier-- tracking down a mis-behaving driver. - Microsoft Community
After each BSOD:
a) Return to the desktop > run the BETA log collector > upload the results into the thread
b) Open file explorer > this PC > C: > in the right upper corner search for; C:\windows\memory.dmp > if the file size is < 1. B then zip > post a share link into the thread
Okay, so the intent is to ACTUALLY crash my laptop so that I get a BSOD and error logs are generated, right? There is no method that this driver verifier generates logs without crashing my system?
The tool is used to stress test the non-Microsoft drivers.
If the system produces BSOD crashes there are dump files that are created.
The mini dump files are collected by the log collector.
The memory dump files can be collected manually.
Files are debugged with software by running commands on the files to find misbehaving drivers.
For the Intel drive there were displayed results for the short generic test.
Overnight please run the long generic test an post an image of the test results into the thread.
Meanwhile while windows were updating yesterday, I got errors.
Sharing the error log.

If performance and boot times are ok then increase the number of customized tests by 4 - 5 / hour up to the 19 simultaneous tests in the Microsoft link:
Driver Verifier-- tracking down a mis-behaving driver. - Microsoft Community
For Sea Tools for Windows check the applicable drive then in the drop down menu click the long generic test.

Okay, I already enabled 3 tests earlier as per the post you shared. Now what all four-five tests should I tick in that driver test window?
Okay, I will run the long -generic test. How much time will it take? Do I need to keep my laptop unused, i.e. without any running applications when that test runs?
