My box was running perfectly until I got the anniversary update via Windows Update. After that I started having frequent BSOD events and I am trying to sort it all out. Most frustrating is that I get a variety of stop codes including:
CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION
BAD_POOL_HEADER
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
and nothing seems consistently predictable; it seems to crash at random times. I have a Lenovo computer and the hardware scan, which includes the memory chips, comes back OK so I think this is a WIN 10 upgrade issue. I have a copy of NirSoft's Blue Screen Viewer and apparently the logs are empty so it is hard to attribute it to a particular misbehaving driver or something like that.
A few particular questions:
1. I have run DISM to check the health of the image and it reports no corruption and a SFC scan reports no integrity violations. When I run DISM it reports on Image Version: 10.0.14393.0 but when I query my specs under "System, About" is shows that my build is 14393.51. Shouldn't the build number in DISM be the same as the one in "About"?
2. Is it worth trying to do a repair install over the existing version? I was getting ready to try that, but I couldn't get the Media Creation tool to create an ISO image for me, stopping at the "SAFE_OS" step.
Or is this all due to bugs in the kernel that I have to put up with until MS gets some patches in place? Doing anything with OLE makes my box very unhappy, and I have a lot of OLE links in various files.
