Hello @Anonymous

First thing I would be doing would be to check the event logs and see what is throwing an error prior to the event. These log files can be found in the C:\Windows\System32\winevt\logs folder as .evtx files.

My guess is a bad driver, or if the you have desktop experience installed: Server Core vs Server with Desktop Experience install options

Hope this helps with your query!
