Creators Update BSOD my machine and now I can't use Rift anymore

so I finally caved and installed the Windows 10 Creators update. first 3 times I had the headset plugged in and it would just fail then rollback.

so I unplugged the headset, and Creators update installed. now however whenever I plug in my headset it BSOD's my PC and won't boot at all (even if I unplug my headset), and then I have to perform a repair. this gets me to the desktop, but plugging in the headset again causes a BSOD.

I'm hoping someone else has seen this and has a fix.. not really looking forward to rebuilding my PC from scratch if I can help it.

my next steps are repair; uninstall oculus and graphics drivers, then reinstall all of them again, and failing that rebuild from scratch

There is an incompatibility conflict with certain USB controller drivers that could cause an issue such as you describe. Do happen to know if you are running with a ASMedia USB controller on your motherboard? If so, you should download this driver *before* connecting Oculus to your system. This is on the MSI website, but the same driver will work on Asus boards or other companies that use the same USB chip.

Click Driver, Select your OS, then Other Drivers, then download the USB 3.0 driver.

aha - that's probably it.. ironically I DL'ed that a month or so ago before the creators update and tried to install it and it went V badly.

I'll do that first tonight - thanks @cybereality
