After installing 2026-11 security update KB5132061 (OS build 26200.9974), the PC crashed

8 times in one day with SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (0x3B, c0000005).

  • Process context: Registry (every time)
  • Faulting address: ntoskrnl.exe+0xbd2753 / +0xbd2734 (hive cell map lookup), and ntoskrnl.exe+0x8689e4 / +0x868a53 (caller using the returned cell)
  • Stack: ntoskrnl, Ntfs.sys, storport.sys only (no third-party driver)
  • Timing: 7 of 8 crashes occurred 8 to 11 minutes after boot
  • Uninstalling KB5132061 fixed the issue (stable since).

Hardware: MSI MAG Z890 TOMAHAWK WIFI (BIOS 1.AD0), Intel Core Ultra 9 285k, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, NVMe storage.
I can provide minidumps if needed.
I had to pause Windows Update because of this.

Do you know if a fix will be published or if there's another solution ?
Thank you

    Since uninstalling KB5132061 stopped the crashes, that strongly suggests an update-related issue. I’d keep it uninstalled and updates paused temporarily while investigating.

    Yes, please share 2–3 minidumps from the affected boots. Copy them from C:\Windows\Minidump to your Desktop >> ZIP them >> upload to OneDrive and share the link here. That is the default small-dump location. Seeing only Microsoft drivers in the stack doesn’t conclusively identify the cause.

    Please also submit your findings through Feedback Hub using Win + F, including that uninstalling the update restored stability. Share the dumps here and I’ll follow up.
