After installing the Russian language pack, the blue screen issue on my laptop was resolved.

This isn’t a joke. My new laptop was constantly crashing with blue screens, and nothing I tried worked. I didn’t want to send it in for repair because I had a lot of important work data stored on it. Finally, just to see if it would work, I remembered hearing that adding a Russian keyboard layout could help protect against ransomware, so I decided to give it a try as a last-ditch effort. To my surprise, it actually worked—it’s been two months now, and I haven’t had a single blue screen since.

I’m sharing this for others facing the same issue; perhaps this method will work for you too.
