Hello.

Yesterday i got alot of bluescreens, and i eventually traced it back to my VPN connection. When connected to a VPN, i bluescreen any time i try to ping or access anything on that network. Both through wifi and LAN. Bluescreens within seconds every time, 100%reproducible.'
Problem first occurred yesterday after a reboot.

    For updating Intel drivers you can use either the Lenovo website drivers or the drivers from the Intel driver and support assistant.

    Drivers can be saved to the desktop.

    The internet can be disconnected by removing Etheret (Cat5e, etc.), and Wifi (hardware off if available).

    https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/18002/intel-driver-support-assistant.html
    https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html

    Any software that had drivers that was involved in the crash(es) can either be uninstalled or uninstalled and reinstalled.

    During the troubleshooting it's best to uninstall so that you can achieve an end point quickly where there are no BSOD or unexpected shutdowns and restarts.

    Then reinstall software and monitor for recurrent BSOD and unexpected shutdowns and restarts.

    This can reduce the total troubleshooting time.

    There were multiple entries in the event logs reporting bacstac corruption.
    This was not related to the BSOD and was just a finding.

    Make sure that the software related to TAP-Windows Adapter V9 / tap0901.sys is completely uninstalled.
    It can be reinstalled whenever you need to use it but the longer the time between reinstallation the more time to confirm computer stability / instability.

    Please use reliability monitor to get a better view of what is happening:
