BSOD after in-place Windows 10 reinstall

[shmu26]

I am running windows 10 pro x64 stable build, and I did an in-place "reinstall", which ended in unsolvable BSODs, even though I disabled my security softs before running the reinstall.

I restored with a system image, and then uninstalled 3 security softs, and then tried again. It went smooth this time.

I uninstalled Sandboxie, NoVirusThanks ERP, and HitmanPro.Alert

Which of these three do you think was the culprit?

I use none of this tools, so I can't help you, but have you looked on their forums to see if somebody had this problem ?

Uninstalling is sometimes more "secure" than disabling (to make major modifications) : I already have problems with protection tool "disabled" that let some services running.

(If one of these 3 tools is culprit, so can we say that it protected you "to well" ? )

Wait, wait,

You tried to reinstall Win10 while letting security softs installed?!!!!

Don't you know that security softs may use kernel hooks (sandboxie, etc...) that alter the kernel; not saying some drivers that will hamper the system.

Golden rule: NEVER install Windows while you have some security softs present.

I actully reinstalled Windows because I had so much leftover files and such and was too lazy to remove. Haven't had a bluescreen and reinstalled all my software.

As long as you formatted the system drive and did a clean install, everything would've worked fine.

Back to step one my friend.
Umbra's right and that's what most likely caused this.
Go easy on yourself though, we live & we learn.

As long as you have all your important stuff backed up it is always best to do a format & clean install.
Unless of course you have an ASUS ROG Then you will need nerves of steel for which mine finally ran out and I went back to 7 SP1 Pro
I found it best prior to updating to disconnect from the internet and install certain drivers from a USB and then reconnect & update.
As for SBIE,NVT & HMP.A you could reinstall them one at a time and if there is some type of conflict or problem you can easily narrow it down but I think after the successful reinstall you should be fine.

You need to determine by downloading BlueScreenView where it can trace the possible .sys file from 3rd party program.

yes, yes, but the right way is the hard way.
I don't care to try the lazy way, because macrium reflect backs me up if something goes wrong.
I do suspect the sandboxie drivers.
