Ok so I am working on my cousins laptop it is a HP 15-dw2063st.

So at her house when we boot it up it acts as if it wants to boot up until it tries to load windows (no password). That is when the blue screen error pops up with Critical Process Died. It does that repeatedly.

I take it to my house to work on it and the blue screen error shows up the first time so I boot into safe mode and disable anything startup that isn't needed. I uninstall previously installed updates and reinstalled them. Restart no more blue screen. I get to her house to take it back to her thinking maybe it was just a bad update and as soon as I turn it on blue screen comes up with the same stop code of critical process died.

Does anyone know what could cause it to do that at one house but not the other?

I read something about reading a .dmp file and I copy and pasted the results below but I still don't understand them.

Any help is greatly appreciated TYIA!!!

critical process died can be a number of Processes that are required to allow windows to work.
So if it happens at boot, it could be a file associated with boot itself or it could be a User file that is necessary for windows to logon

It isn't an obvious error. There isn't one file to point at, it could be a few.

The dump is clearly missing symbols. Its not as easy thing to run, I haven't tried it myself.

if it runs in safe mode, try running SFC/DISM on it
right click start button
choose powershell (admin)
type SFC /scannow and press enter
once its completed, copy/paste this command into same window:
Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth and press enter
SFC fixes system files, second command cleans image files, re...

that might fix windows,
