Dell PCs stuck in BSOD reboot loops after update
My Dell laptop has been acting crazy since a recent update. It suddenly shows a blue screen with CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED and then keeps rebooting over and over. At first I blamed Windows 11, but now I’m not so sure. Anyone else dealing with this?

My bigger concern is file safety. My Dell started crashing during startup and now some folders won’t open properly. I’m worried repeated crashes may have corrupted files.
Any recommendations for data recovery software?
Yep, users who checked crash dump files with WinDbg found Dell SupportAssist showing up in the logs. Pretty frustrating since everyone instantly assumes Microsoft broke Windows again 😅
If you can still boot into Safe Mode, uninstalling Dell SupportAssist seems worth trying.
Can confirm something similar happened on my Dell notebook. Event Viewer kept showing critical kernel errors before every crash. I removed SupportAssist OS Recovery and the random BSODs stopped after that.
You’re definitely not alone. A bunch of Dell users have been reporting this lately. Apparently, it’s linked to Dell SupportAssist after a recent software update, not Windows 11 itself.
I saw people mentioning uninstalling SupportAssist and related plugins helped stop the reboot loop.

If files became inaccessible after crashes, stop using the drive too much until you recover what matters.
For recovery, I’ve had solid results with Stellar Data Recovery. It’s useful for recovering deleted, corrupted, or inaccessible files after system crashes, BSODs, or boot failures. You can scan the drive, preview recoverable files, and restore important documents/photos to another location.
