Windows 11 facing partitioning errors
Good day,
I have recently upgraded my computer to a newer compatible version and i successfully installed Windows 11 on the computer.
However the Windows 11 seems to have trouble; even if drivers are included to do correct partitioning.
I installed windows on a "SSD" only; created a partition and left my HDD unformatted; following result was that the HDD got installed and labelled "C:" and the NVME SSD to be 'invisible' 'unpopulated' and 'unavailable' but the EFI bootloader is installed on that partition. What followed were Bugchecks when restoring from a sleep status.
The Motherboard is of BRAND GIGABYTE of type B850M-D3HP
ā BugCheck 0x3B ā SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
Faulting module: win32kfull.sys, function NtUserRemoveProp+0x9e
Process: explorer.exe
Cause: Attempted to access invalid memory via rdi (null or corrupted pointer)
Most likely scenario: A user-mode call (GUI-related, maybe window or property deletion) triggered kernel-mode access to an invalid pointer.
ā BugCheck 0x50 ā PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
Faulting module: ntkrnlmp.exe, function MiCompleteProtoPteFault+0x56a
Process: services.exe
Cause: Page fault on a prototype PTE access (likely during memory-mapped section resolution)
š§ Explanation of MiCompleteProtoPteFault Fault
A Prototype PTE is used when sharing pages (like DLLs) between processes.
The OS tried resolving a prototype PTE (paging in or committing a section-backed page).
Failure suggests:
Faulty or unstable driver (especially for memory-mapped IO)
Filesystem inconsistencies (corrupt pagefile or memory-mapped regions)
Incomplete or invalid disk config (RAID metadata interfering with IO mapping)

I include
Determining based on the manual the solution to this problem would be adding a second HDD and second NVMe SSD to configure in RAID. Making RAID setup the requirement for installation of Windows 11 at minimun. The Windows Installation Media requires a driver to be installed
Also for your Inquiry; AMD is facing a huge stub-hold and permanent ceasing of effect because of "Vulkan" will redundify 'all applications' due to a missing backlight and might crash 'huge' in the upcoming years. I spent $800 on a new video card to get rid of a 'moiree effect' that is 'ridden' in older computer systems.
Greetings

If you'd like, I can help guide you through specific steps like creating a bootable USB with Windows installer, how to load drivers during install, or troubleshooting specific BSOD errors.

Use the Windows Disk Management tool or Command Prompt to delete conflicting partitions ā create a simple volume in NTFS format ā ensure the EFI/MSR partitions are intact. If issues persist, enter the PE system and use the `clean` command to wipe the disk. You may also choose to disable the RST mode in the BIOS.
