While troubleshooting a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) on a Windows 10/11 workstation, which single action is MOST likely to correct the underlying cause of the crash?
Uninstall all user-installed applications
Disable System Restore to prevent rollbacks
Update or roll back recently changed device drivers
Faulty or incompatible device drivers are among the most common causes of BSOD errors. Updating a problem driver to a stable version-or rolling it back if a recent update triggered crashes-often resolves the issue. Simply uninstalling every user application, disabling System Restore, or turning off the firewall does not address driver or hardware faults that typically generate stop codes.
