[SOLVED] Constant BSOD after upgrading from win 7 to win 10. FIX: I removed condusiv software and ran the RAM at stock settings.

TSTEWART · Mar 2, 2023

Hi,
Upgraded from win 7 to win 10 with the help of this forum. Since upgrading I have been getting BSOD regularly. Never had this problem with win 7. Have checked memory, cpu through stress testing and no issues which lead me to believe its a software or driver problem. Ran driver verifier and got BSOD quickly. Any help to solving this issue would be appreciated.
Thank-You

Hi!

You uploaded speccy, instead of posting the url to the snapshot.

Did you check windows 10 updates and install all of them?

Try these commands (from a command prompt - running as an administrator):

Code:

sc delete semav6msr64
sc delete cpuz132
sc stop mtsensor
sc config mtsensor start= disabled

If you are not using audials:

Code:

sc config tbhsd start= disabled

And reboot.

If it won't work, try to uninstall the following programs (I'm assuming you aren't using them and you can always reinstall them, if necessary... Otherwise say something if this is not the case!):
- Acronis trueimage
- Eset nod32 (in the meanwhile, use windows 10 defender antivirus and firewall)
- Minitool partition wizard (there is a new version: 12.7)
- MSI afterburner
- Spyhunter

The BSOD bugchecks were 3B, 1E, D1, 3D, 139, FC

The debugging displayed two misbehaving drivers.

1) Uninstall: tcesd.sys

tcesd tcesd c:\windows\system32\drivers\tcesd.sys

Condusiv Technologies Corporation

2) Unisntall: dktlfsmf.sys

dktlfsmf Telemetry File System Mini Filter Driver c:\windows\system32\drivers\dktlfsmf.sys

When you said uninstall, just delete the file I assume?

You shouldn't just delete the files, you'll need to uninstall the associated software.

I think zbook suggests to uninstall also condusiv software (DymaxIO, diskkeper, etc).

TSTEWART · Mar 7, 2023

That's the problem, program no longer exists ? it was originally on win 7 and was uninstalled and these files must still be leftover?

x BlueRobot · Mar 7, 2023

I would check that those drivers aren't associated to any devices first of all, you shouldn't just delete files unless there is no other method to remove them.

Code:

pnputil /enum-devices /drivers

From a command prompt (admin):

Code:

sc stop tcesd
sc delete tcesd
sc stop tcefs
sc delete tcefs
sc stop dkrtwrt
sc delete dkrtwrt
sc stop dktlfsmf
sc delete dktlfsmf
sc stop dtultrascsibus
sc delete dtultrascsibus

Those four files (tcesd.sys, tcefs.sys, dkrtwrt.sys, dktlfsmf.sys) are part of condusiv software DymaxIO (Diskeeper, V-locity and SSDkeeper).
The last one is from daemon tools.
I included it because it seems you have uninstalled daemon tools too. Haven't you?

TSTEWART · Mar 7, 2023

Hi, after taking out the the files ( tcesd.sys and dktlsmf.sys) the first time i got the Stop code Inaccessible Boot Device and had to restore system with backup. same outcome with the fix.
Thank-You for Helping

xilolee · Mar 7, 2023

Did you include or exclude the daemon tools file from the previous commands?

Please, run again the bsod collection app for fresh logs.

TSTEWART · Mar 8, 2023

The first time I just deleted the 2 files tcesd.sys and dktlfsmf.sys out of the system32 directory. The second time I ran the full cmd prompt with all you directed above. Both times the Inaccessible_Boot_Device and had to reinstall system with a backup? These files must be tied into the boot system somehow?
Thank-You for your help.

x BlueRobot · Mar 8, 2023

I did mention this in my last post.

TSTEWART · Mar 8, 2023

What if I reinstalled diskeeper and tried to uninstall again?

TSTEWART · Mar 8, 2023

Oh, Ok, Thank-You for your help

xilolee · Mar 8, 2023

Ok, re-do the steps in the first reply.
Then post fresh logs (bsodcollectionapp).

x BlueRobot · Mar 8, 2023

If the driver is located in the Driver Store then you can remove it using pnputil, this is the safest method. There's two options for identifying its package within the store: use the command I mentioned previously or search the registry using FRST64 with the driver name.

TSTEWART · Mar 8, 2023

The files are listed but for the last 12 hrs no crashes? maybe something changed ?

x BlueRobot · Mar 8, 2023

I would see if the system remains stable for next 48 hours then, otherwise do a FRST registry search using these instructions:

FRST Registry Search
1. Run FRST64 by Right-Clicking on the file and choosing Run as administrator.
2. Copy and paste tcesd into the Search box and click the Search Registry button.
3. When the scan is complete a notepad window will open with the results. Please attach this to your next reply. It is saved on your desktop named SearchReg.txt.

You can do the same for the other drivers as well, I believe you use a semi-colon to search for multiple strings e.g. tcesd; dktlfsmf.
