Suddenly getting BSOD on every startup (corrupt Windows or old hard drive?)

Upload the Minidump please.

1:  

@echo off
:: Disable Libraries in Navigation Pane
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}" /v Attributes /t REG_DWORD /d 0xA9400100 /f

:: Disable Network in Navigation Pane

:: Refresh Explorer to apply changes
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
start explorer.exe

2:  

is it safe to just manually delete these folders?

  Yes, and we removed the drivers from Trend not the folders.

3. Upload minidump file for review.

Search minidump in everything search upload it for me,

Also, your hanging issues, might be remedy by this.

 

@echo off
echo Disabling Fast Startup...
powercfg -h off

echo Adjusting WaitToKillServiceTimeout...
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control" /v "WaitToKillServiceTimeout" /t REG_SZ /d "2000" /f
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" /v "WaitToKillServiceTimeout" /t REG_SZ /d "2000" /f

I don't know how to upload the mini dump. I searched minidump in everything but it says access denied (windows/minidump) if I try to open or do anything with it. I copied it to the desktop and zipped because it wouldn't let me upload otherwise but when I open the copy it looks like nonsense.. ?

Re: #1&2 - is this a cmd thing or go into registry? (Will this conflict with the registry tweak I already have?)

1. Open File Explorer.
2. Navigate to C:\Windows\minidump.
3. Drag the .dmp files contained there to the desktop, zip em and attach here or upload and link

Command:

No:

That's what I did.. it was just one file.. That's what I zipped - I hope it's correct.. I hope you can access it.

I don't know what @echo off means - sorry.

I don't have attributes on the right side of   {031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}.. Nevermind,  I figured it out.. I did it correctly before but forgot to make the change for both also in the  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node.....  I don't plan on shutting down now but already see the change. 

I care more about the BSOD so I will hold off on the other suggestions (thank you) if/until this is hopefully figured out.

Malwarebytes is to blame again for the crash.

Can you clean install it?

https://support.malwarebytes.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039023473-Uninstall-and-reinstall-Desktop-Security-with-the-Support-Tool

Also, can you download HD Tune from this link?

Perhaps use the HH browser.

Hit the start menu

Type HH

Hit enter

Use hh.exe

Go to jump to url

type it in exactly.

hit enter

I already got the navigation pane to work - thank you.

But I've had Malwarebytes for years - I wonder why now suddenly.

No it won't let me.. see attached. I'm able to download it from softonic.. hopefully safe?

HH Browser??

It shows that it's uploaded here as a zip.. I uploaded again - see attached - you don't see it?

I'm able to download hd tuner it from softonic.. hopefully safe?

HH Browser??

Not great. I used the uninstaller but it won't reinstall!

Try here first, if not.

Reset the TCPIP stack.

@echo off
echo Resetting TCP/IP stack...

netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
netsh winsock reset catalog
netsh interface ipv4 reset
netsh interface ipv6 reset

echo TCP/IP stack has been reset.
echo your computer will now reboot.
shutdown -r
exit

I reinstalled malwarebytes. I ran the 'hanging' code.

Today for some reason - after resuming from hibernation - I was prompted with login screen.. I've never had that (by choice)

In netplwiz the option requiring login was checked off - I don't know why. but I unchecked.. in power options 'require password on wakeup was also set to yes for both battery and plugged in and it wasn't before. Maybe some of the other things changed some settings.

Have you had a chance to look at the attached minidump?

Was any of the HDtune info, useful?

I took it to a repair shop because I thought it might be easier to see in person and after I described everything they said it's an OS / software issue. I wonder if there's a way to figure it out without doing a factory reset or fresh install.

Would running chdsk again help? Could this be a 'Word/office' issue?

***I did a restart and now hibernate is missing from the shutdown options.*See attached. It's also now missing from all power options (close lid etc.)  I used cmd to put it back on shutdown but can't get it back in power options. I think I need to do a system restore because every day there seems to be a new glitch since making all these changes . just the BSOD.

Thank you.

Profile Corruption, fix the profile make sure everything is there in the new one before you delete the old.

did an sfc scannow for the 5th time and for once it said something was repaired. Unfortunately when I try to open the file location it says access denied.. Is there any way to find out what was repaired?
