BSOD on Steam update, extract and install.

When I attempt to launch Steam, an update is downloaded, extracted, and installed, followed by a Blue Screen of Death showing an error of SYSTEM SERVICE EXPECTATION - Wdf01000.sys.

I've troubleshooter the following:
Restart the PC.
Uninstalled & reinstalled Steam.
Remove all hidden Steam folders in the AppData folder.
Ran Windows update.
Ran Windows Memory Diagnostic.
Uninstall/Reinstalled NVIDIA Drivers.
Removed all external devices connected to the PC.
No additional apps are running or installed VPN/Anti-virus, etc.
No overclocking on any part of the system.
Reset local network Router & Modem.

This does not occur with any other games or game app such as Xbox Games, EA Play or Unreal. running high-demanding apps has no issues such as Cinema 4D or Unreal Engine.

This system has been running Steam for years; it's connected to a UPS, so there are no power issues.

I'm out of troubleshooting ideas, any other thoughts that don't require a clean install of Windows?

Window 10 Pro 22H2
i7-6700K - 32GB
RTX 2070 SUPER

UPDATE: So it got 'fixed' by trying to launch a games exe file, which launched Steam, and then closes but didn't crash. ran Steam again and said it had to repair some maintenance thing, launching it a third time, and all is good. no idea what caused the issue.

fix your dual GPU card issue, have a nice day
"GPU Name"
Intel® HD Graphics 530 " onboarf IGPU issue.with main card.

steam is not going to help you with your pc build and choise , and maybe we should say this is your choise in what you will do, and what card is primary card.


Im sure you have insight to deal with what is your choise
RTX 2070 SUPER or IGPU ( you do the math in what to turn off. )

Upload the crash dump for someone to analyze with WinDbg. Or use it yourself.

I posed an update on how this was fix, prior to your answer. these were not the issue.

I explain what your code means.

Windows Driver Framework

Wdf01000.sys.

The big issue is this mostly points to some driver issue on your system, this can range from bluetooth driver issue, GPU driver issue, and etc...


To roll out windows driver issue can try doing these commands. Run CMD as admin.

Try this 1st what it does it check for errors on system, once it finish restart PC then do the next one.

sfc /scannow

Now this next one will compare your Windows OS to online version to check for problems, this is something incase SFC couldn't resolved, or that say unable to do task for some reason.

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

For those using Windows 10

--------------------

When your computer encounters a BSoD error related to Wdf01000.sys, it means that there is an issue with the Windows Driver Framework. This can be caused by various factors, including outdated drivers, incompatible hardware, or even malware infections.

Yeah all is nice now, But You forgot BSOD dont happend by itself. we can only point at that info you posted, and all info aboubt what happend is, end with, i dont know what happend.

"and all is good. no idea what caused the issue." but all is good now, so it dont seem to matter now, just wait if the dual card issue strick back at you. its your pc and you have issue, any here can tell you MS dont care about your driver they try avoid BSOD and it seem to fail here untill it corrected itself , so you can be fooled with things has been change to fix it in the system..

MS is not going to fix it if you have outdate driver its more a emegency change to fix it.
sense you dont have it anymore. or update did it.
