I had no problems with windows 10 until the last update, since then I can't run incredimail and my Dell crashes about 10 minutes after starting.
The driver \Driver\WudfRd failed to load

These show up on Device Manager as:
Disk Drives: as Generic USB SD Reader, CF Reader, xD/SM Reader and MS REader
and under
Portable Devices as E:\ through H:\
Device Status shows as Device Working Properly
Before you ask: earlier today I ran
sfc /scannow
Dism/Online/Cleanup-Image/RestoreHealth
full scan Windows Defender
full scan Malwarebytes
NO new hardware or software since Windows 8.1 upgrade
all Windows Updates
Any help would be appreciated as I slowly go through the MULTIPLE Event Logs caused by my recent UPGRADE to Windows 8.1

2016-11-09T17:14:40+00:00 I having this issue on a Win 10 machine.
The "Windows Driver Foundation ... " is set to "Manual (trigger start)"
Could it cause any harm to set it to automatic?

2016-12-22T15:26:37+00:00 Your reply is bloviated. You did not help towards a solution and you are obviously a Microsoft cheerleader. This is an issue that causes millions of people problems because of automatic reboots and BSODs. If you cannot help the situation you should avoid it.
Here is a link that will help - you can sue Microsoft for the wasted time that it causes in your life. Believe me after supporting Microsoft products for over 20 years and seeing the many reboots - incessant BSODs - they owe me about half a million dollars for wasted hours and my time!
