#112 Win10 Anniversary update results in BSOD

[Michael Eber]

After the Windows 10 Anniversary update I began having BSOD with the issue of ATTEMPTED WRITE TO READONLY MEMORY. It appears, however, that it was a very deep issue to trace down I finally found an article about how the update caused a BSOD in Avast! software. VeraCrypt 1.18 was all I was running as additional software that was not eliminated. I first did a permanent decrypt of my system. That made it more stable but I still continued getting a BSOD at times. I completely uninstalled the software from the system and all BSOD have stopped.

REPRODUCTION STEPS:

Start with an earlier version of Windows 10. Fully encrypt the system drive using build 1.18.
After everything is complete and bootup is clean then connect to the network and run Windows Update.
After the system is up as long as you continue to actively use the system all is good. Walk away from the system and you will return to find it sitting at the password screen.

I attached a mini-dump of a BSOD after the decryption occured but the BSOD continued.
