I registered that behaviour after larger Cummulative updates, the ones that require you to restart and I meant "Windows Update" as a service, no a particular one.

The updates installed that last time were KB5041580 and KB5042352.

At the moment I'm not getting any WHEAs after the driver reinstall and I've cleared the log prior, but I posted earlier about it and gave the event ID and lots of other stuff.

Reliability Monitor states a certain HD-Player.exe to have stopped working that could be connected to the behaviour. It's supposedly a part of Bluestacks emulator I use from time to time.

Anyway, I'll keep an eye out for any signs again and see what happens.

An update

It's been a few days now since that last update and I haven't gotten a single WHEA warning and the PC has been reliable and as fast as it can be. I've been using it just the same as ever. No weird behaviour whatsoever, let alone crashes or failing to boot. Really, really interesting.

The only conclusion I can draw is that either something that updated in that last large update did the trick or the GPU driver fixed it 'cause it looks like it was a more recent version than the one I had before.

It's been a really unpleasant experience altogether, so I'll keep a lookout for some time now.
