The KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED BSOD on Windows 11 Insider Preview build 27729 after login indicates a critical kernel-mode exception, often caused by incompatible drivers, hardware issues, or system file corruption. Since you're upgrading from version 27695 to 27729 and encountering this crash, it's likely related to driver conflicts, incompatible software, or a bug in the preview build.

    Title: [FIX] KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED BSOD on Windows 11 (Unsupported Hardware / 25H2)

     

    Symptoms: Constant Blue Screen of Death every 5 minutes. WinDbg and BlueScreenView blame ntoskrnl.exe.

     

    The Real Culprit: Outdated Intel Management Engine Interface (IMEI) driver.

     

    My specific version: 11.0.0.1157 (Dated 07/07/2015)

     

    The Fix:

     

    Open Device Manager.

    Find Intel(R) Management Engine Interface under "System devices."

    Right-click and select Disable device (or uninstall/update if a newer version is available from your manufacturer).

    Restart the computer.
