Same here. You could also try a clean install of Windows 11 from a USB drive instead of the in-place upgrade. Let me know if that works.

Has anyone else gotten constant blue screens after trying to upgrade from Windows 10 to 11? My PC meets the requirements, but the install fails and now I get random BSODs even during normal use. The most common error code is `CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED`. I’ve tried the Windows Update Troubleshooter, but it didn’t help. Any ideas on how to fix this or should I just roll back to Windows 10 for now?

From what I've seen, Yeah, that's a known headache. I'd roll back to Windows 10 first to get stable, then run a memory and drive diagnostic before trying the upgrade again.

You could also try a clean install of Windows 11 from a USB, as the upgrade process itself might be corrupted. Good luck!

This. Agreed, that's a solid fix. One extra thing: run "sfc /scannow" in Command Prompt as admin to check for system file corruption. Let me know if that works.

Before you go that route, have you checked your drive health with a tool like CrystalDiskInfo? Hope that helps.

This. You could also try running the Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool—just open Command Prompt as admin and type `DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth`.

Agreed. Yeah, that DISM tip is solid. Also, make sure you run a quick SFC scan right after by typing `sfc /scannow` in the same admin command prompt.
