14 DAY TRIAL // It's not a secret that many are experiencing issues after upgrading to Windows 10 and it's also not a surprise that so many people want to go back to Windows 7 or 8.1 because of these problems, so Microsoft's engineers are now hard at work to fix everything before it's not too late.
One of the errors that users are seeing after moving to Windows 10 is a BSOD which reads DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION BSOD and which then reboots the computer just after the operating system collects the crash information it needs to submit to Microsoft.
The company confirmed in a statement on the Microsoft Community forums that it is aware of the problem and is working on a fix already, but timing when it could arrive is not yet available.
“For those who experience this error, it occurs occasionally but repeatedly and seemingly at random. The PC then collects information and restarts. The Bug Check code for this bluescreen is 0x00000133,” one Microsoft forum moderator wrote.
A fix is on the way
Microsoft support engineer Anannya Podder says it's all being caused by the iastor.sys driver, which right now isn't fully compatible with Windows 10. This is where Microsoft is doing all the work, trying to make sure that iastor.sys works flawlessly on Windows 10.
“Microsoft is currently investigating a solution to prevent the driver from being migrated when upgrading to Windows 10. For those of you already on Windows 10, you can work around this error by replacing the problematic driver with the Microsoft storahci.sys driver,” she said.
All steps you need to follow are included in the box after the jump, so have a look on them if you're experiencing the aforementioned issue.
As for the release date of the new patch, expect fixes to be included in the next cumulative update which can be released by Microsoft at any time now.
