Safe next steps

  1. For 0x00000135 (REGISTRY_FILTER_DRIVER_EXCEPTION), record the stop code, four parameters if available, and the driver file shown on screen or in the dump.
  2. If Windows starts, compare recently changed drivers with the exact PC or device maker’s support page. Use Safe Mode only if normal startup fails.
  3. A named module may be where Windows stopped, not the proven root cause. Avoid broad driver removal.

After one step, repeat the original operation and record whether this same code returns. A different code needs a fresh interpretation.
