17m-ch1013dx Crashing

[JoeTheCat]

This 17m-ch1013dx has received all MS patches and HP driver/bios updates. I've run all HP diagnostics including extended diags; all clear. Beginning 2 days after the following MS updates in June 23 it has been throwing lots of errors and crashing.

2023-06 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5027231)

2023-06 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 for Windows 11, version 22H2 for x64 (KB5027119)

Here is a snapshot of the windows syslog leading up a crash.

Thoughts?

[JoeTheCat · Accepted solution]

Answering my own question.... looks like an incorrect firefox user agent string was triggering entries in the kernel trace back file who's default allocation was too small (20MB). Solution was to reinstall firefox *AND* increase the kernel trace back allocation size (40MB).

After these 2 fixes the machine went from > 300 errors plus  > 1 critical per day to about 60 per day , none critical

Long night. too long for this retired engineer.
