Lightroom adjustment brushes causing Kernel Mode Trap and BSOD

[dallen123456789]

Since updating Windows 10, When I try to use adjustment brushes in Lightroom my computer crashes - I get the BSOD with the information: Unexpected Kernel Mode Trap. Thinking that the issue may be my PC, I did a clean install of Windows and then of Lightroom. Since I did the clean install - I am now unable to roll back the windows update to a previous version. Any Suggestions?

Try unchecking the option Preferences > Performance > Use Graphics Processor.

Also, if you have an AMD / ATI graphics chipset, see: Lightroom: Crashing with GPU acceleration on (AMD Radeon driver 17.4.4) | Photoshop Family Customer...

This seems to have done it. Thank you so much!

Glad you stopped the crashes.  Did disabling the graphics processor do it, or rolling back an AMD graphics driver to a previous version?

Unchecking 'use graphics processor' worked but only temporarily. I have uninstalled a Walcom tablet I was using for editing and the crashes have stopped.

I have not figured out how to reinstall the tablet correctly as of yet.

Computer crashes are either a hardware malfunction, or a bad/corrupted/incorrect video driver. Run diagnostics on your computer hardware, make sure all fans are working properly, make sure your video card driver is up-to-date and reinstall to make sure it isn't corrupted.
