BSOD When I Launch Steam PLEASE HELP

[Jiggly Joe]

this is a newly recurring problem for me. Every time i launch steam i get a windows critical error. Here is what it looks like: https://imgur.com/qMNiNdJ
There is also a message under the Stop Code that shows "What failed:Wdf01000.sys"


I can still do everything else like play games that are not on steam and use chrome without getting the BSOD.

Things I have tried:

reinstalling steam

sfc scan

dskchk scan

system restart

driver updates

I think thats it

If your wondering how i uploaded this I used the steam site. PLEASE HELP ME
I am also on Windows 11 on the most recent update

Upload your crash dump or analyze it yourself, WinDbg takes care of all the menial details.

the first link you provide, i look at the error message, it is completely different from "Jiggly Joe" BSOD Error message

your 4th link is completely unrelated to Blue Screen Of Death.'

your 3rd link is unhelpful as well.

your 2nd link also is very unhelpful.

in other words, the links you provide in your post is completely unhelpful 100000000%.

especially since you never bother to check what Error Message "Jiggly Joe" BSOD gotten at all.

those got "kernel security check failure" BSOD Error Message

here is a link from me

https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/kernel-security-check-failure-how-to-restart-the-kernel-in-windows-10/

this should also applies for Windows 11 too.

other than this, there is also another possibility

1) you got a 3rd party program and/or software that Conflicts with Steam completely.

i also recommend removing Valorant from your computer to see if the problem persist.

since Valorant's Anti Cheat System is really Intrusive as it still could have access to your Computer's Kernel.

You have something conflicting with a driver on your system kernel.

It must be something you recently installed. As the user above mentioned, it could be a kernel level Anti Cheat, especially considering it interacts with Steam apparently. It could however also be a virtual video driver used by communication software, such as Citrix.

You need to look at what starts up when your PC starts, disable these startups and figure out what is causing this conflict.

No, your PC isn't broken, just some software is.


Easy AntiCheat has issues running in Hypervisors. It has to run on bare metal. If you run it in a virtual OS, you're going to get problems like this BSOD. The same goes for most AntiCheat solutions.

Hi Elucidator, thanks for the help. I tried running my computer in safe mode and steam was able to launch. This does confirm the fact that there is a program interfering with steam. Is there an easier way to figure out what this program is?
