    Update:

    Just found that no devices are using the outdated "netwbw02.inf" driver. So, I think you can go ahead and delete those driver packages after backing them up.

    Your Intel Wi-Fi adapter seems to load the newer driver (NETWTW04.SYS). So, that's good.

    Note:

    1. Since the crashed driver is a network/Wi-Fi driver, see if you can obtain the latest driver before uninstalling the existing driver.

    Or, use the ethernet connection if possible.

    1. Update the BIOS for PRIME H610T2-CSM D4 :

    https://www.asus.com/supportonly/prime%20h610t2-csm%20d4/helpdesk_bios/

    1. Install the latest drivers

    The crashed driver seems to be a very outdated one, from 2014.

    1)

    Please open cleanmgr.exe as administrator.

    Select the C: drive. 

    Select "Device driver packages". 

    Click OK. 

    Click "Delete Files" when prompted.

    2)

    Download Driver Store Explorer:

    https://github.com/lostindark/DriverStoreExplorer

    Run Driver Store Explorer.

    From the File menu, click "Export all drivers". Select a folder where the drivers will be backed up.

    Then, uninstall the following driver packages using that tool:

    • netwbw02.inf
    • ibtusb.inf
    • hpreststub.inf
    • hpwia_ljm148m149_uwwl_4-1.inf
    • unusedscanstub_ljm148m149_uwwl_4-1.inf

    If necessary, use the "Force deletion" checkbox.

    3)

    Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool 64-bit (FRST64.exe)

    https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/farbar-recovery-scan-tool/

    Note: If Microsoft Edge or Chrome mislabels the Farbar Scanner executable as PUA/malware, choose to keep it by tapping … in the bottom bar, choosing Keep, and then choosing Keep anyway in the dialog that appears.

    See this screenshot: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/media/microsoft-edge-security-download-interruptions/dowload-was-blocked.png. It's a safe tool used in most antimalware forums.

    If the OS language is non-English, rename FRST64.exe to FRST64English.exe.

    Run the program. Don't check or uncheck any options. Click "Scan".

    Add the two logs, FRST.txt and Addition.txt, to a Zip archive, share them and post the link here.
