These Are the Windows 10 May 2020 Update Issues Causing BSODs
Softpedia, 28 May 2020: Windows 10 May 2020 Update is now live for users who want to manually download it, and in addition to lots of new features and improvements, it also comes with a series of known issues that everyone should have in mind when planning to update. As you probably know already, a BSOD is the worst thing that could happen on a Windows device, as it’s a fatal crash that requires a full reboot to recover; a list of known issues:
- Errors or issues during or after updating devices with certain Conexant audio drivers
- Stop error when plugging or unplugging a Thunderbolt dock
- Issue with older drivers for Nvidia display adapters (GPU)
The Conexant audio driver bug, on the other hand, is encountered after the update to version 2004 and could lead to a Blue Screen of Death. “The affected driver will be named Conexant HDAudio Driver under Sound, video and game controllers in Device Manager and have versions 8.65.47.53, 8.65.56.51, or 8.66.0.0 through 8.66.89.00 for chdrt64.sys or chdrt32.sys,” Microsoft says. As for the Thunderbolt problem, Microsoft says it’s triggered when a Thunderbolt dock is used on a device with Kernel DMA Protection enabled and Windows Hypervisor Platform disabled.
