Hi, and thanks for reaching out. My name is Bernard a Windows fan like you. I'll be happy to help you out today.

I understand the issue you have, there is nothing to worry I am here to help, this issue occurs when the processor is not compatible or not supporting Kernel-mode Hardware-enforced Stack Protection (KSHSP), in addition, I suggest updating your BIOS first then checking it again.

If the issue persists, kindly follow the steps from Cristiano, here's the link: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for...

Let me know how it goes and I hope that helps.

Hi Yitzhak,

Your minidump files all indicate a virtual driver named HoYoKProtect.sys that is usually associated to Genshin Impact as the cause of the system crashes, it seems that driver is incompatible with Kernel-Mode Hardware-Enforced Stack Protection

However, Microsoft released a patch for a bug in Defender last month involving LSA and that new patch has caused errors in Kernel-Mode Hardware-Enforced Stack Protection, so that update fixed one thing and broke another.

So the best option is to leave that disabled until Microsoft provide a patch for this new bug in the latest update.
