Hello,
seems like I am fighting with my system again after it has been stable for nearly three years (thanks to your support in this forum here
).
It all started with some really random BSOD which may be related to a faulty NVidia Geforce driver (installation)... I don't know, it was always a different error message, rarely connected to a driver at all and if, then it was some Microsoft driver like acpi.sys and it drove me nearly insane as even shutting down the PC spawned new BSOD after booting it and suddenly the crashes vanished for a complete week only to reappear without warning.
Booting to a Linux-system via the UBCD boot CD always worked, running MemTest86+ for 9+ hours did not show any errors at all.
SFC.exe and DISM.exe always told be that there was not a single error, SFCFix.exe also didn't tell me anything new.
But that's only the introduction to my problem I have right now, as the system seems to be stable... at least for now.
I noticed in the device-manager that a bunch of yellow signs in front of the "WPD-filesystem-volume driver" popped up. I think they are connected to my USB-card reader and I'd like to fix this problem.
The error message is: "This hardware device cannot be started, as its configuration information (in the registry) are incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)"... translated from German.
In its event log are often those messages: "The device "SWD\WPDBUSENUM\_??_USBSTOR#Disk&Ven_General&Prod_USB_Flash_Disk&Rev_1.00#1310020000000011&0#{53f56307-b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c91efb8b}" does need further installation."
followed by "The process for adding the service WUDFWpdFs for device instance-ID SWD\WPDBUSENUM\_??_USBSTOR#DISK&VEN_GENERAL&PROD_USB_FLASH_DISK&REV_1.00#1310020000000011&0#{53F56307-B6BF-11D0-94F2-00A0C91EFB8B} has been closed with status: 0."
What I tried so far:
- Running sfc.exe (no success in solving it)
- Running Dism.exe (nope)
- Deinstalling the WPD-thingy and searching for new hardware (nope)
- Deinstalling the USB-hostcontrollers and searching for new hardware (nope)
- Reassigning a driver letter for the card reader (nope)
- Deinstalling iTunes (nope)
- Manually deinstalling gearsapiwdm.sys (leftover by iTunes as it has been added in several upperfilters - nope)
- Checking Windows Update for any updates / new drivers (nope)
- Running the Windows hardware troubleshooter via command line (it showed me the errors, but could not fix them, so... nope)
My USB card reader has no drivers of its own on the manufacturers homepage and that problem just popped up yesterday after a bunch of BSOD, so I have to stick to the standard Microsoft drivers for this device. It worked for about three months without any problem, so I think it should be something fixable... but I am running out of ideas.
Kind regards,
Chris
