constant PFN_LIST_CORRUPT BSOD on surface pro 7

Question

I have a surface pro 7 that I use 90% of the time for taking notes. I've noticed that about once every week, immediately after using the camera in Onenote for Windows 10 I get a PFN_LIST_CORRUPT blue screen. This happens when onenote is syncing with onedrive, after the camera app has shut down. This doesn't occur every time I use the camera, and so far I have only seen this BSOD while using onenote. My four most recent minidump files can be found here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmXBsokKEXVkwBl\_KnsTW9XEo91w

Any solutions?

Answer 1

Thanks for your reply.

Maybe you could use the camera a couple of times over the next few days and post your experience here, that would be really nice.

I will install the Surface Recovery Image in a few days and plan to update to 20h2 immediately so no software can get in the way of the update, I will post here whether this was successful.

Answer 2

This is the exact same thing that happened to me. I bought a surface at the beginning of January, returned it and bought another new one now. 

I have the issue with both 2004 and 20h2.

Answer 3

I have the same issue as Daniel, I bought a surface at the beginning of January and returned it because I thought it was a hardware problem. ( it was running WIN 2004(

I bought a new surface now and updated it to WIN 20H2. Still same issue.

Very disappointing the amount of work customers are expected to do to in order to get a working device (when it is brand new).

This is the exact same thing that happened to me. I bought a surface at the beginning of January, returned it and bought another new one now. 

I have the issue with both 2004 and 20h2.

I did a clean install using Windows 10 Media Creation Tool (20H2) last Friday and I haven't experienced any blue screens since. I can't guarantee that it has worked though, as I will have to wait a little longer to make sure.

If you want to do this, make sure you have the type cover or a USB keyboard because the touchscreen drivers aren't shipping with Windows 10 itself. You then have to install the drivers package from the Microsoft website. I also followed the advice of someone who replied to another post here to copy some device specific files to the clean install so that features like "Enhanced" color mode and the Surface app work properly (Though I don't know if it would've worked without it as well).

Answer 5

pretty much the same thing here, it happened when I used Onenote to directly inmport a picture from the camera. I was able to select the picture taken, crop it and insert it into the notebook, a few seconds later BSOD. Rebooted, ran all the tests, all negative. I have been doing this Onenote and camera routine for months, never an issue before today. Win 10 Home 20h2 Nov 20th 2020).
