DRIVER PNP WATCHDOG error (BSOD) on windows 11 insider program V 22458.1000

Hi All, 

 

Unable to update 'Windows 11 Insider Preview 22458.1000 (rs_prerelease)'

 

Downloads fine, asked to reboot then get BSOD and 'DRIVER PNP WATCHDOG' error.

 

Already tried the default windows update fix from ages ago.......

 

NEXT DO THIS:

WITH CMD  ADMINISTRATOR:

net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop appIDSvc

ren c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
ren c:\WIndows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old

net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver
net start appIDsvc
exit

Open PowerShell Administration:

wuauclt.exe /updatenow

 

RESTART PC (1)

 

DIDN'T WORK ๐Ÿ˜ž 

 

Will keep trying to find the fix, but feel free to reply if you have any other ideas for me to try ๐Ÿ˜ž

    Hi Mate,

     

    I got this error yesterday and start up repair or following a guide doing CMD commands did not work for me.

    What did work was installing windows 11 (or 10) media tool on a usb, wiping the SSD completely and reinstalling the OS fresh. I got this error after using "Driver Booster" to update my drivers. BIG mistake. 

     

    Try a wiping the SSD/HDD and installing the OS fresh.

        Run sfc /scannow in CMD(if some files are corrupted means it fixes automatically...)
