I'm able to recover from the bsod with Startup Repair or System Restore. And yes, I know this machine isn't compatible w/ Windows 11. The problem is, since Windows update can't be disabled anymore, only "delayed" for up to 35 days, this happens every 35 days.
I would like to know if anyone can point out a known incompatible driver that I've missed updating or some verbose logging I can enable that will point out what the issue is.
