I did an update of MC to 27.0.66 about 5 or 6 days ago (and is there a way of getting date/time of the update?). It seems to be that since then I have been getting Blue Screen crashes with several Critical Errors Kernel-Power 41 (63) in the event viewer. (4 today, plus another 5-7 in the days since the update of MC). I don't recall ever getting a BS crash before, in the nearly 5 years of this laptop.
Win 10 64 bit
MC version 27.0.66
MC is always open on my PC.
I have only had MC, a couple of Chrome windows, a Firefox window, and Excel running (apart from Windows explorer folders).
Most (but not all) of these crashes are precipitated by clicking on something in the MC window, the hourglass comes up for perhaps 20-30 seconds, and then a blue screen of death.
Under advice, this morning I ran (in the cmd box):
C:\WINDOWS\system32>DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth
C:\WINDOWS\system32>sfc /scannow
C:\WINDOWS\system32>chkdsk /r
but they did not show up any errors. I also ran chkdsk on my two external drives (that have the music files) but nothing showed up.
A scan by Malwarebytes revealed nothing.
Currently doing (a slow) Windows Defender full scan, but it so far has revealed nothing.
