Windows 10 WDF_VIOLATION then black screen

[hprateik]

What a coincidence, just got a call from HP authorized service Centre he says that the new motherboard has died again and need replacement. Basically he is saying that I should again pay for the new motherboard. I told him that he needs to replace it or else I'm filing a case he asked me to wait for a few days and he'll look into the matter.

I got my WDF-Violation error after Norton notified me to reboot after an update, I am able to boot if I use the Esc key and use the boot manager to boot. If this gives anybody any insight into this problem, let me know

I had the same exact problem after a driver update (actually a deinstall of product that had a driver).  There was no way out of it other than recovery disk (which put me back at windows 😎 and re-install of everything.  Fortunately, I had a relatively recent backup of windows 8.1.  I seriously don't get why a roll-back was not possible.  The system acted like I had no restore points.

Morale of the story is to make a backup once you successfully updated to windows 10 so you can restore that.  I use Acronis Trueimage to make a backup to an external hard drive. 

But, I just get the feeling there is something really foul in windows 10 handling driver updates.  It should always be possible to roll back one way or the other.

Well.. im now looking for a mother board. My fan wont kick on or nothing.. light works tho. Not sure if it is a board issue now 😠

My entire motherboard is getting replaced (2nd time). The first time when I got the new motherboard I was able to boot successfully to the os. Windows 10 worked properly when I tried to roll back to Windows 8 I got wdf violation error and after restart screen is blank. Now my 2nd motherboard is on its way.

How much did it cost you? And where did you got it from?

[hprateik]

It cost me around 250$. I took my All in one desktop to HP Authorized Centre (India) , they did it.

Im out in Puerto Rico. I can do it . Just need a place to buy it and have it shipped tho

You should check any nearby hp service Centre where you live and they'll do it for you.

I'll be replying to this post until this WDF Violation error gets a fix. Hp please look into this issue,there is some incompatibility between HP, pegatron and Windows.
