Same here. You could also try a clean install of Windows 11 from a USB drive instead of the in-place upgrade. Let me know if that works.

Has anyone else gotten constant blue screens after trying to upgrade from Window?

Post by 67pfusxfnc »

Has anyone else gotten constant blue screens after trying to upgrade from Windows 10 to 11? My PC meets the requirements, but the install fails and now I get random BSODs even during normal use. The most common error code is `CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED`. I’ve tried the Windows Update Troubleshooter, but it didn’t help. Any ideas on how to fix this or should I just roll back to Windows 10 for now?

From what I've seen, Yeah, that's a known headache. I'd roll back to Windows 10 first to get stable, then run a memory and drive diagnostic before trying the upgrade again.

You could also try a clean install of Windows 11 from a USB, as the upgrade process itself might be corrupted. Good luck!

This. Agreed, that's a solid fix. One extra thing: run "sfc /scannow" in Command Prompt as admin to check for system file corruption. Let me know if that works.

You could also try a clean install of Windows 11 from a USB drive, which often bypasses upgrade-related issues.

Before you go that route, have you checked your drive health with a tool like CrystalDiskInfo? Hope that helps.

This. You could also try running the Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool—just open Command Prompt as admin and type `DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth`.

Agreed. Yeah, that DISM tip is solid. Also, make sure you run a quick SFC scan right after by typing `sfc /scannow` in the same admin command prompt.
