The setupmem.dmp references the volsnap.sys (Volume Shadow Copy driver) but not a third party driver :

BugCheck 1D5, {6900630070, ffff9f06c6092ab0, ffffd209730df040, 2bf32}

Implicit thread is now ffffd209`730df040

Probably caused by : volsnap.sys ( volsnap!VspSynchronousIo+14b )

The error may indicate an issue with a file system driver possibly third party.

Can you check if the following folders exist (to see the folders you may have to "show hidden files and folders"):

C:$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther

C:$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Rollback

If those folders exist can you zip them up and provide via OneDrive.

I would go with the WHQL.zip as the motherboard appears to have a "JMicron® JMB363 PATA and SATA controller".

    Can you check if the following folder exists and, if so, are there minidump files in that folder:

    C:\Windows\Minidump

    Also, does the following file exist?:

    C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP

    Can you check the following folder?:

    C:$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Rollback

    In that folder is there a file called setupmem.dmp ?

    On my machine the Rollback folder is not present. The sequence is that the update runs, and at the very last stages (after it has restarted the machine) I get a BSOD with stopcode DRIVER_PNP_WATCHDOG. As soon as I restart the machine it rolls back to 1709. Of course it then starts to update again and you're in the update-crash-rollback-update-crash-rollback loop until you hide the update. I guess when it rolls back it deletes the rollback folder so there is no time when the user can access it. Maybe I could boot from a CD after the crash and get to it.
