Something went wrong while updating to Windows 11. Now, it's stuck in a Boot Loop with a BSOD stating WDF_Violation, and what failed was "amdsfhkmdf.sys." I'm hoping someone can help me. And The model is an HP ENVY x360 Convertible.

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Start your PC, just as Windows attempts to load (spinning dots), press and hold Power Button for 5 - 10 seconds to perform a Hard Shut Down

    Do this twice

    On the third start Windows will boot into the Recovery Environment and from there you can access System Repair, Safe Mode, Command Prompt... etc.

    Please try each option one at a time, then see of Windows will boot up correctly

    Go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Option - Startup Repair

    See if Windows startup can repair itself

    Go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Option - System Restore

    Check to see if you have a restore point you can go back to

    If you do not have a Restore Point, go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Option - Startup Settings and click Restart

    Upon restart, press 5 to enter Safe Mode

    If none of the other options are working for you and you can get into Safe Mode, please let me know, we need to stop that AMD driver loading on startup.
