I was just checking YouTube last night when suddenly a random BSOD showed up on my screen. Since the reliability history didn't tell me what happened, I tried to figure it out using WhoCrashed, but when I clicked to run the installer, it gave this message: Checking other programs... Most programs show that same error, but not all of them (like Firefox or Edge work fine). The problem is I can't even try installing anything like a .NET app. From what I saw, something with .NET might have caused it. When I try to remove the program through Control Panel, it either says "This item cannot be removed" which happens even with games that I know are installed. Removing it from Apps and Features gives me a different error. I tried running sfc /scannow and chkdsk /r but those didn't help at all. DISM also doesn't work for me, so I've never been able to run that command either. This is happening on a brand new system (I think it was about a week or two old). Nothing new shows up in the Windows Update list. Even using Creation Media Tool to do a repair didn't start working at all. Specs if you need them: Motherboard: ASUS Z690-E CPU: i7-12700k GPU: MSI RTX 4090
