Windows 10: Random BSOD on Windows 10 fresh install.

Hi.I have been having an infuriating issue with my Plex Server running Windows 10. It has started randomly BSOD every 20 minutes or so. All the system is does is runs Plex. Nothing else in installed on the system save for what Windows pre-installs. After every BSOD the Event Viewer will show 3 DistributedCOM warnings followed by a BugCheck error. To try and diagnose the issue I did a fresh reinstall of Windows on a brand new HDD. Before I reinstalled Plex I stress tested the RAM, CPU & GPU which all ran for 8 hours each with zero errors. All disks have been checked for errors too. Assuming

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

Here's a good step by step guide on doing a fresh install.

Random BSOD while browsing internet


BitDefender is nothing special. mwac.sys causes BSODs anywhere.
A tiny documentation can be found here: Solved Random BSODs - Windows 10 Forums
In that very thread, the suggested action apparently worked.

The storage and network filters of any third party antivirus can cause BSODs. Neither MBAM nor BitDefender is any special. For a regular antivirus, it may be shifted to an alternative; but MBAM has no alternative. So a clean install of the said program is the most feasible first step.
As far as the first step is not failing, it is better to not think for the second step. Because the BSODs are not universal, failure at the first step is not universal; and success at the second step is also not universal.
That is why I posted that my suggestion may work, or may not. Let us see where it goes.
