Well as a workaround make sure browser is closed when connecting your device,

    As a workaround, other than using Firefox... for now at least, I was exploring around in edge://flags/

     

    I found:

     

    Enable new USB backend
    Enables the new experimental USB backends for macOS and Windows – Mac, Windows

    #new-usb-backend

     

    I changed it from Default to Disabled and restarted the browser.

    Launched my USB over IP application.

    So far the computer has not blue screened since making this change.

     

    The Bluescreen BSOD Error was: Kernel Security Check Failure

    Not sure how Edge is triggering Kernel BSOD's.
