[SOLVED] BSOD on W7 upgrade to W10 & in driver verifier, no dumps. FIX: FEW drivers (and devices) removed; TPKD was the last one which blocked the upgrade.

MingoMongo · Dec 20, 2020

I've got a system image with Macrium (untested though), and a working Macrium recovery disk now.
I did not have a Broadcom card I had a Edimax EW-7722In Wifi card, but that's been disconnected since before I made this thread. The Wacom drivers do say router but they're for a graphics tablet (deleted them anyway).

Uninstalled all the stuff you guys said, uninstalled iobit too since I know someone will tell me to later

All the checks come up clean.

Tried to delete all the stuff I have from Windscribe, Hamachi and Tuungle (another networking thing which I had uninstalled but randomly found a driver for in system32/drivers)

xilolee · Dec 20, 2020

I'd remove also 2 broadcom drivers, 1 mediatek, pwdrvio and pwdspio (minitool p.w.).

MingoMongo · Dec 20, 2020

Panther. Can't even remember how much stuff I deleted that time, still no luck and no logs unfortunately. FYI: It failed once, I looked at the Panther log and saw a million entries about the RealTek PCIe drivers so I uninstalled them then upgraded. ...Didn't work but did cut the Panther log size by a third. Reinstalled that driver now so we'll see if it inflates again.

I read in microsoft website the tool needs an internet connection: was it enabled? (intel or realtek)

MingoMongo · Dec 20, 2020

If you mean the upgrade tool I had no internet for the upgrade. I thought this was a fix for some people? I still got the same driver related error. The Windows 10 setup needs internet to check for updates but whenever I use it I see no updates being downloaded.

xilolee · Dec 20, 2020

Just once.
I saw some errors for netrasa and netsstpa (also in previous logs).
You should find netrasa.inf and netsstpa.inf in c:\windows\inf or in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository.
Right-click and install both.
Then, re-try.

MingoMongo · Dec 20, 2020

I have been doing online upgrades the majority of the time.
I had no idea you could do that with .INFs! Unfortunately though they're both saying "The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation". Everything isn't showing copies in FileRepository except for ".inf_loc" files of the same name in DriverStore\en-US. There's also copies of the INF files in their own folders in C:\Windows\winsxs

xilolee · Dec 20, 2020

Re-try with these:

Code:

pnputil /add-driver c:\windows\inf\netrasa.inf
pnputil /add-driver c:\windows\inf\netsstpa.inf

(And post their result)

Think the command is wrong, what should it be?

More strangeness, first file can't be found (it's definitely in that directory though)
Second file has opened a Windows Security prompt saying it doesn't have a valid digital signature.

Can you find those two .inf files on your system?
If yes, use that path (instead of c:\windows\inf).

MingoMongo · Dec 20, 2020

They're in the right place already... Idk why it can't find netrasa.inf

xilolee · Dec 20, 2020

Then this:

Code:

pnputil -i -a "c:\windows\inf\netrasa.inf"
pnputil -i -a "c:\windows\inf\netsstpa.inf"

Or this

Code:

CD /d c:\windows\inf
pnputil -i -a netrasa.inf
pnputil -i -a netsstpa.inf

MingoMongo · Dec 20, 2020

Same problem, can't find netrasa, netsstpa gives me a warning

xilolee · Dec 20, 2020

Device manager, network adapters.
For every wan device:
Open it, drivers tab, update driver, search automatically.
If it says it's already updated but offers the option to search it in windows update, click it.

MingoMongo · Dec 20, 2020

First device I tried (WAN Miniport (IKEv2)) when I tried to update automatically found a driver but brought me to another unsigned driver warning. Windows Defender is still off btw. I'm going to have to get back to you in the morning, getting late here!

xilolee · Dec 20, 2020

If you have a windows 7 cd, you might find them in there.
If you don't have one: Download Windows 7 Disc Images (ISO Files) (not sure this will work).

MingoMongo · Dec 21, 2020

I'll try that. Would deleting the files then running sfc /scannow work?

xilolee · Dec 21, 2020

I'm not sure of it...
If you want to try it, rename and move them in another place.
By the way, even their copies could be unsigned and, if SFC should replace them, they'll be always unsigned.
