What is the Driver Verifier?
It is a component in Windows built to detect faulty drivers. It evaluates each one separately. It triggers Blue Screen errors because that is its purpose.

When should it be run?
It operates automatically in the background all the time, but you only need to activate it manually when a driver is suspected of causing BSODs while hiding its behavior within Windows processes. Often, the NTOSKRNL kernel is blamed in such cases, even though it wasn’t the actual culprit. Using the verifier can uncover the real issue.

The drawback is it may lead to a boot loop. Therefore, I recommend three steps:
1) Make a restore point – type "restore" and open "create a restore point"; create a new one for the C-drive.
2) Build a bootable USB with a Windows 10 installer to serve as a boot drive. Download the Windows 10 media creation tool and generate a Windows 10 installer on the USB.
3) Configure your PC to allow booting into safe mode. Open Command Prompt (Admin), type:
BCDEDIT /SET {DEFAULT} BOOTMENUPOLICY LEGACY
EXIT
If you need to enter safe mode from boot, immediately press F8 (similar to the power button).
These steps are just precautions. Once you have an installer and a restore point, and can boot into safe mode from there, you’re ready to proceed.

Note: Even with these precautions, the process might still cause Windows issues. A clean installation could be the only solution. I hope Microsoft could develop a tool that doesn’t sometimes break their own software.

Read the instructions carefully.
Once a Blue Screen appears, upload the minidump file to your post for analysis.
