Fault bucket errors

Question

I have been getting Fault Bucket errors and decided to upgrade to Windows 11. I am still getting these errors and even more frequently now. My entire system freezes up and I have to reboot to get things up an running again. I have received over 50 Fault bucket and faulting application name dwm.exe errors just this morning. Does anyone have any ideas on how to troubleshoot or fix this issue?

Here is one of the fault bucket errors:

Here is one of the dwm.exe ones:

You never upgrade anything whilst you have errors unless you know specifically that the update will cure the error, and as you have seen that was not the case.

You are going to need to start with a clean win install install, and then install nothing until win update has done its thing for important updates, and you have visited the PC Makers support sit for updated Bios and drivers

And once that s done install a core/must need app and see how it behaves before installing any thing else
