BSOD event id 41 bugcheck code 159

Question

My computer is crashing when I leave it unattended long enough for the hard disk to turn off (35 min). The power setting is set not to sleep or hibernate, but the hard drive (M.2 sata) does turn off. This started happening a few days ago, after the KB4495667 update, as well as an Nvidia driver update (GTX 1060 driver version 430.39.)

Hi CRD45

My name is Andre Da Costa; an Independent Consultant, Windows Insider MVP and Windows & Devices for IT MVP. I'm here to help you with your problem.

Press Windows key + R

Type: appwiz.cpl

Hit Enter

Click View installed updates

Select the recent update

Right click it then click uninstall.

Restart into Normal mode then check if stability/functionality is restored. If it is, proceed with the next steps.

The update will try to install again, so use the following to block it:

Is there an option or work around to block updates or hardware drivers that might cause problems?

Yes, Microsoft has released a KB update (KB3073930) that will let users block or hide Windows or driver updates.

You can download it at the following link:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3073930

After downloading, launch it, click Next, wait while it detects pending Windows Updates.

Click the Hide Updates menu.

Scroll through the list then select then select the update. Check the box next to the update then click Next to confirm changes.

If that does not work:

Press Windows key + R

Type: rstrui.exe

Hit Enter

This will start the system restore wizard. Choose a restore point more before the problem started.

This seems to have worked. I also updated a some MSI software. 

Thanks for your help,
