Firstly, thanks for provide us the error message, simply this message alone will provide the clear clue for your troubles hooting process.
This error might have a lot of possible causes, so we might need to look up the dump file and get back to you later.
For better coping with your problem, I would like to know:

For the general reason for your blue-screen error, there is a learn article about that:

For now, my general suggestion for you is:
- Run system file checker
*This is a pretty common method for system failure. It will try to recover some general system file.
Press the Start key and type the word CMD or PowerShell, right click on the command prompt and select Run as administrator, enter the following commands one by one followed by the Enter key: | > DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth<br><br>> DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth<br><br>> DISM /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup<br><br>> sfc /scannow | | --- |
- Clean boot your system
There might be some software component which is the cause of your system crash, clean boot might help you.
- Sign in to the computer as an administrator. If you are unsure if your account has administrator rights, see Create a local user or administrator account in Windows to find out how to see if your account has administrator rights, and grant them to your account, if necessary.
- Select Search , type msconfig , and then select System Configuration from the list of results.
| Important: If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings might prevent you from following these steps. Only use the System Configuration utility to change the advanced boot options on the computer with guidance from a Microsoft support engineer. Using the System Configuration utility might make the computer unusable. |

- On the Services tab of System Configuration, select Hide all Microsoft services, and then select Disable all. Select Apply.

- On the Startup tab in Task Manager, for each Enabled startup item, select the item and then select Disable. (Keep track of which items have been Disabled. You will need to know this later.)
- Close Task Manager.
7)On the Startup tab of System Configuration, select OK. When you restart the computer, it will be in a clean boot environment. Follow troubleshooting steps to install, uninstall, or run your application. Your computer might temporarily lose some functionality while in a clean boot environment. Reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting and resume functionality.
