Hello,

since this afternoon W10 has to restart regularly: "your computer has encountered a problem and needs to restart..."

It's roughly every 5 minutes, I stopped at the 4th restart. Then follows a message: "...We are simply collecting information related to the errors, then we will restart."..."stop code: KERNEL SECURITY CHECK FAILURE".

I had made a backup of my files recently on DDE, I took advantage of the 4x5 minutes to copy the last important modified ones. I just tried a restore; not enough time, it's getting worse!...

The restart is long but occurs correctly: my welcome screen with the code to enter...

Don’t ask me why I prefer to address you rather than Windows support, it's a matter of affinity.

Thank you for your help.

    Hello,

    There's not much solution other than, after possibly unplugging all peripherals, to repair or reinstall Windows from its installation USB or DVD.

      Yep! Not cool in the sense that it's going to delay me.

      Could there be a hint of a reason?

        No, it could be pretty much anything: Windows corruption, a driver issue, hardware...

        Specialists might be able to analyze the additional error codes, but I'm not sure it will lead to much; a reinstall is faster.

    Hello, well there it is; it's done. W10 reinstalled. However, the startup is really a mess, installation/update stuck at 80% for 20 minutes and then three restarts...!

    I will come back to this in the appropriate threads because it's still not my "machine"; there's still work to be done...!

    Thanks

      That's the joy of Windows, that it restarts once in Windows PE to finalize the installation, why not, but 3 times, I never understood why.

      At least, it shows that it wants to install properly, at least until the next step if it was a conflict with an external device.

        hi,

        there is only the mouse regularly in external peripherals, a USB drive regularly scanned or an external hard drive for backup, these last two very rarely...
