A Z-Book is not a low budged Laptop and if you don't take any advantage of that, you should have bought a Pavillon.

 GB USB-Stick.

You can download the last "Media Creation Tool" from MS for free. You just need an 8 GB USB stick for the installation.

And you don't need any activation key! The Machine is already registered on MS-Servers.

 

But it's you choice.

Whilst I appreciate the volunteered advice, I'm not sure what your point is about Z Books vs Pavilions. I'm an IT specialist and well aware of the benefits of the Z books. But my area of IT isn't in managing Windows installations. I hope to run some native Linux images as well as Windows once I'm happy to go to WIndow 11 and really stretch the legs of this machine; however I'm waiting a bit before I make that leap. Currently it'd be nice if I could run Teams and Chrome and a few other standard apps without it blue screening.

 

The "Media Creation Tool" is a nice top, thanks. I'll book mark it and create a USB I can use as a backup and review it. I'm not aware of how you connect/confirm registered devices with MS; but I'll hope that's a smooth process.

 

If I learn more about this BSOD issue with the KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE error I will also post back here; however HP are going to send a new laptop gratis and so my first test will be to set that up and see if the error reoccurs. It was implied to me that motherboards have cause some issues with HP Laptops and so my suspicion given laptop age and the lack of any mad software being installed on this one, is that it may be a motherboard issue.

 

I'll note again for you and others - I did get some warnings on the BIOS updates yet the logs say it installed and updated. So I'm suspicious that there is a BIOS/Motherboard issue at the root. I'm also not convinced this new HP Wolf Security software isn't causing an issue - however that's currently just a suspicion. I have no proof yet.

For the thread update. Laptop ran for 8 hours today before the same bluescreen event. Nothing turned off in my apps at all. It is a really odd error..

 

*Update. Actually happened twice in quick successon then
