HiveMindFilterDrv.sys is incompatible with Windows 10?
Dear Community, I have recently upgraded my Alienware Alpha (Late 2014) to Windows 10 (via Media Creation Tool, because it was more than a few weeks), and encountered an issue ever since I completed the initial setup process. After the "Hi, We're setting things up for you" message disappeared, my Alpha instantly BSoD'd with the error WDF_VIOLATION. I was a bit confused at first, but a few BSoDs and searches later, I found out it was a driver conflict, tried to get to the recovery menu, but soon found out Windows 8/10 boots too fast for keystrokes like F8 to be detected. Then I soon found out that you can power cycle to trigger Automatic Repair on purpose, and since that was my only option left, I took the risk and tried it, and I eventually got to the Recovery Menu where I could start Windows 10 in Safe Mode. I looked for the crash logs, looked for tools to analyze them (I found WhoCrashed, but didn't give me free and good enough analysis, and then I found BlueScreenView), and eventually found the suspect files: WDFsomething.sys and HiveMindFilterDrv.sys (HiveMindFilterDrv.sys being the file being the one to blame, and WDFforgottennumbers.sys being the one complaining about said file). So I decided to rename HiveMindFilterDrv so it wouldn't be detected and loaded, and rebooted. BIG mistake. I got back into normal boot mode, got to the desktop, but there was one thing different: NO USB input at all. At that moment, I realized the driver I disabled was giving me usb input all this time, and I disabled it. All I can suggest for anyone out there who wants to help me, is give me said driver that is compatible with windows 10. Please help me ASAP, Thecomputerkid101 P.S: My apologies for the long post and me forgetting the name of the WDF driver, and any nonsense I put in my post.
