[QUOTE="plat, post: 1041309, member: 74969"] Wow, OK. Yesterday I got a BSOD simply by navigating to the Start Menu. However, this was not the one mentioned in the article (Process Initialization Failed) but named Critical_Process_Died. 🥶 After doing a lot of hardware troubleshooting, I guessed that this might have been caused by a bad Power Plan option (I'd left it on Power Saver, lol). But now I'm not so sure. Sheesh, leave it to Microsoft to make it nice and mysterious, with lots of plot twists and whodunits. 😡 Well, the mess is contained in Windows in its entirety so if need be, I'll just re-install it.
