Blue Screen
How to troubleshoot BSOD (Blue Screen of Death).
- When windows encounters a BSOD, it will create a minidump (.dmp) file in
C:\Windows\Minidump. - Copy out this dump file to somewhere like your desktop.
- There are various software to open the minidump files such as WinDbg Preview and BlueScreenView,
- Typically, blue screens are caused by driver crashes in my experience. Windbg preview will point out the driver which crashed from the minidump.

How to use WinDbg preview
- Open your minidump

Changing IDE/RAID/VMD to AHCI
Reference
If you are not using Intel RAID, you should be using ACHI instead of IDE or RAID.
- Run
bcdedit /set {current} safeboot minimalin a cmd prompt with admin - Change to ACHI in UEFI. On newer boards, it may be known as Intel VMD.
- Run
bcdedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot
- Drawbacks of Intel RAID (also known as Intel VMD)
- It is a proprietary software raid by the Intel driver which does not work with Linux.
- You may run into problems when changing motherboards, and sometimes even just after updating the bios.

Prevent Auto-restarts
Auto-restarts are easily the worst part about windows. They happen even if you're doing something such as training a model or other data processing.
See the long complaint thread at https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/disable-windows-10-automatic-restart-after-updates/16f1826d-a796-4de8-ac99-1d625420d265?auth=1.
From JimmyAppelt/disableWinRestartOnUpdate.md
- Run
gpedit.msc - In the Local Group Policy Editor, go to
Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates-> Windows Components-> Windows Update
- Double-click on “No auto-restart with automatic installations of scheduled updates”.
- Select "Enabled", and then click "OK".
- Notes
- I'm not 100% sure if this works.
- Group policies are only available on Windows 10 Pro.
