On 4/9/25 my system crashed. 3 more times since then to today 4/13 it crashed. I looked back to see what MSFT installed and bingo, 4/9 KB5055528 and KB5054980! I just removed them.
Funny (NOT!) the Windows Updates HISTORY still shows them installed, but according to what I earned that is NORMAL! Really! History is a history of their logging of installations. It does not change if a user removes any.
To see what is really installed, do:
1. get to CMD prompt
2. enter WMIC qfe list brief
Your actually installed updates will be listed. Mine were now gone, despite HISTORY as stated above.
Also, to uninstall easily, instead of using windows updates and finding your way there, just do:
1. CMD Prompt (Run as administrator)
2. Enter WUSA /uninstall /kb: ######## , where ### is the KB number (get from Windows Updates History)
3. You will have to RESTART for the uninstalls to completely finish.
Finally, learn about the Blue Screen at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/resolving-blue-screen-errors-in-windows-60b01860-58f2-be66-7516-5c45a66ae3c6
Most important is that the data you need to know, i.e., what failed and the STOPCODE if any is at the bottom of the screen, far down below your reading speed! So, look there first.
I am testing for the next week and have PAUSED any updates for the maximum time limit! Not the first time I had to remove MSFT updates to fix a problem before they do.
--------------------
5/24/25 Update:
Well, on 5/19/25 KB5058405 builds 22621.5189 and 22631.5189was installed, and on 5/20/25 KB5054980. Just now I got the BSOD that and forced an unsuccessful reboot! Note, KB5054980 is the same culprit as before. KB5058405 and KB58405 is an upgrade to builds 22621.5335 and 22631.5335. The problem was NOT fixed and the 5/19 and 5/20 updates will be backed off now.
