Kernel Security Check Failure Windows 10

Hi,

Welcome to Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated. 

Try the below methods and check if that helps:

Method 1: Run the SFC.

Follow the below steps:

1. Open Command Prompt.

2. Select “Run as Administrator”.

3. Type “sfc /scannow” without quotes and hit Enter.

Now check for the issue.

Method 2: Run the DISM Tool.

If the issue persists, I would have you run the DISM tool to check the system health and will try to restore the files.

1. Click on 'Start'.

2. Enter 'Command prompt' in the Search box.  

3. In the list of results, swipe down on or right-click Command prompt, and then tap or click 'Run as administrator'. 

4. In the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type the following commands. Press the Enter key after each command:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth 

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

To close the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type Exit, and then press Enter.

Note: The tool might take 15-20 minutes to finish running, so please do not cancel it.

Method 3:

Also, the driver  that appears to be causing the crash is the Qcamain10x64.sys:

BugCheck 139, {21, ffffd00121472320, ffffd00121472278, 0}

*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for Qcamain10x64.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for Qcamain10x64.sys
Probably caused by : Qcamain10x64.sys ( Qcamain10x64+1daf1

The Qcamain10x64.sys appears to be a driver for an Atheros wireless adapter so check if there is or will be a Windows 10 driver for the device.

the bugcheck happened right after the Kernel PnP warning .

driver for windows foundation remote devices failed to load , and started later.

it does that on every boot .

but this is the first time i got the error with the BUGCHECK right after.

i know that this is my External HDD device ,USB 3.0 to SATA 3 ( legacy USB 3.0 on/off don't matter)

my USB pendrives will do the same thing.

but i can unplug those.

i know  my SSD's will do that if selected wrong SATA mode , they need AHCI instead of IDE.

and my Internal HDD is SATA 2 , it will do that error on SATA 3 AHCI.

but not on SATA 2 .

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i just fresh installed my PC .

so lots of drivers may be lacking .

i will update those ofcourse, i am sure that gets rid of the bugcheck. 

this is after TWEAKbit driver updater was run , it found some of the above mentioned.

and chipset

I've been getting this error regularly (every week to two) since I upgraded from Win7 to Win10.  Fortunately, Windows seems to have no trouble recovering from it.

I successfully ran all three methods above -- no errors were found or corrected by anything.

I don't have an Atheros wireless adapter, so I guess I'll just have to wait until somebody comes up with a solution.

Does anyone have any experience with any of the companies that keep popping up advertisements for updated device drivers?  I'm afraid to click on "Download" for fear it's a scam...  It would be nice if Microsoft or some of the device manufacturers would release some updates...

In Method 1 the scan went to 57% and then stopped. A repeat did the same thing.

Method 2 stopped with Error: 605

"The specified buffer contains ill-formed data."

The dism.log file has multiple pages.

 Any idea how I could solve the problem?

I have been having the same issue ever since upgrading. I am an experienced user, there's a bad memory address used by the driver at some point. If replicating it would make you guys solved it I'd be happy to. But I won't go over standarized and time consuming troubleshooting methods. :)

My System Specs: Lenovo G50-80 / Atheros Qualcomm BT&WiFi. I've done all the standard things with DISM and SFC
