Hi,

I installed 3 days ago an update suggested from Windows on My HP envx x360 AMD 7 Laptop and it asked me to restart the laptop. After restarting it showed me this error Stop Code: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESSOR_EQUAL (0xD1) and keeps restarting all the time. I tried to change the settings on the BIOS so I can boot from an USB but its not allowing me anyway to BOOT windows from USB. What can I do?

    Hi ,

    Try starting Windows while holding down the Shift key to enter recovery mode (WinRE). Select Troubleshoot > Select "Try to uninstall the update you installed." If this fails, select "Safe Mode." See if it will boot.

    Now, if you want to boot from the USB flash drive, disable Secure Boot in the BIOS, save it, access the BIOS again, and change the order of the USB flash drive.

    Give feedback if the information was useful or not.

    Thanks
