Wait for your system to crash a couple more times, then please upload any new minidump files you may get for analysis.

2026-04-01T14:16:53.3366667+00:00 Those minidump files also just list generic errors, nothing specific.
If the system crashes, only started to occur after the update, are you able to uninstall the update from the updates section in the Settings app to test if your system is then stable.

2026-04-01T13:54:05.75+00:00 That one minidump file just indicated generic errors, there was no specific cause of that crash listed.
If this is an on-going problem, do you have any more minidump files available that you can upload for analysis.

2026-04-01T15:04:01.55+00:00 There is still no indication of the underlying problem, sorry.
To try to force Windows to show any faulting drivers, the best option would be to turn on Driver Verifier, let your PC crash 3 times, then you must turn off Driver Verifier, and finally, upload any newly created minidump files
Before you run Driver Verifier, please create a new System Restore Point
.
.
.
Note, if you have any difficulty getting into Windows with Driver Verifier enabled:
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.
Go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Option - Startup Settings and click Restart
Upon restart, press 4 to enter Safe Mode
Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run these two commands, then restart your PC.

2026-04-01T11:36:01.1633333+00:00 Please check to see if your PC is producing any minidump files, I will check those to see if they provide any insight into a potential cause of the system crashes.
Please do not upload a very large Memory.dmp file.
Open Windows File Explorer.
Navigate to C:\Windows\Minidump
Copy any minidump files onto your Desktop, then zip those up.
Upload the zip file to the Cloud (OneDrive... etc.), then choose to share those and get a share link.
Then post the link here to the zip file, so I can take a look for you.
