    Hi I'm Jan. The dmp file indicate that the Vigembus Gamepad Emulation is causing the crash.

    Try to download and update the driver. If that didnt work uninstall the driver and software related to this driver, then observe if the system stabilizes.

    The dump file itself is not available in the provided context, but the behavior described (random crashes/BSODs during normal use, no obvious pattern) matches several Windows 11 crash scenarios in the context where the root cause turned out to be:

    • Unstable OEM/overclocking or tuning software
    • Faulty or conflicting drivers
    • Storage or file‑system corruption

    Based on the similar resolved cases, the following concrete steps are recommended:

    1. Remove OEM tuning/overclock utilities
      • If the PC is from ASUS, MSI, etc., uninstall tools like ASUS Armoury Crate, GPU/CPU overclocking suites, or “optimization” utilities.
      • In a similar case, uninstalling ASUS Armoury Crate after a clean reinstall stopped all random BSODs and freezes.
    2. Check for low disk space and large logs
      • Ensure the system drive (C:) has plenty of free space. In one case, a hidden 200 GB application log folder caused constant BSODs; deleting it stopped the crashes.
      • Empty Recycle Bin and remove unnecessary large files, especially from video‑editing or gaming applications that keep large caches.
    3. Verify minidumps are being created
      • Navigate to C:\Windows\Minidump and confirm that .dmp files are present after a crash.
      • If there are none, free disk space on C: and ensure crash dump settings are enabled (this is necessary for further analysis by support or forum helpers).
    4. Update or temporarily remove suspect drivers/software
      • Update GPU drivers from the vendor.
      • If crashes correlate with specific applications (browser, games, editing tools), update or temporarily uninstall those to see if stability improves.
    5. If crashes persist after the above
      • Perform a Windows “Reset this PC” with “Keep my files” to rule out deep OS/driver corruption while preserving personal data.
      • If even a reset does not help and crashes continue, consider hardware diagnostics (RAM, SSD, motherboard) as in the referenced complex corruption case, where the SSD was ultimately identified as faulty.

    If new minidumps are generated after these steps, they can be shared on Microsoft Q&A for targeted analysis of the exact failing driver or component.
