Hi there!

My original post is under "BSOD Crashes and Debugging" called "Reoccurring BSOD - PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA ntfs.sys"

Long story short, I get BSOD's, usually only one called "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA ntfs.sys". This happens either randomly on idle or when I try to update. Not just Windows itself but other software like Asus Armoury Crate.

When the update couldn't be completed I get the following Error code once I'm back in Windows: "0xC1900101 - 0x20017 The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation"

By the way, I tried updating through the media creation tool.

I still highly suspect this is a software related issue. As in I have some old faulty drivers.

The update I'm trying to install is: "2022-07 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 10 Version 21H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5015878)"

My Current Windows Version number is: 21H2 (OS Build 19044.1826)

My PC specs are:

OS: Win 10 Education 64-Bit
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor 3.70 GHz
Motherboard: ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z Neo DIMM Kit 64GB, DDR4-3600, CL14-15-15-35
GPU: GeForce GTX 970 MSI

If you need any more information or have questions, feel free to ask!
