DPC watchdoc violation

Getting this over and over on a new W10 portable - any ideas how to fix it?


It seems it could be one of a multitude of issues - drivers, USB sticks, SSD drives.........

All very interesting but it really doesn't tell you WHAT is causing the issue......... well in words that I might understand - why can't it just say "USB stick" or "mouse driver" instead of a load of numbers?

The problem is the error message you're getting is utterly non-specific - simply Windows is objecting to one of the installed drivers.
