      Well OBVIOUSLY you need to set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session\Windows\Microsoft\Win10\MSWindows\CockNBalls\BSODWord to 0 then restart your computer.

        NOOOOOO please you’re reawakening 20+ years of accumulated Windows trauma 😭 😭 😭

        That was so confusing and stressful I don’t know how I --or anyone-- survived the mental strain of regularly troubleshooting Windows

        You forgot that you also need to create a new 32bit word entry with the value of the amount of system RAM in gigabytes times 2 divided by the square root of your age times 10.

        Otherwise BSODWord won’t be picked up.

        Edit: also you need to redo that every time your system updates because Windows update will reset all those values
