WFP invalid operation

Hi Im from singapore and i bought this windows 10 computer in December of 2016.

Only when playing games, my computer crashes. I dont know about other games but csgo and overwatch crashes within 2 minutes after entering the game.

It shows me an orange screen saying

Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We’re just collecting some error info, and then we’ll restart for you.

For more information about this issue and possible fixes, please visit http://www.windows.com/stopcode

If you call a support person, please give them this info : WFP_INVALID_OPERATION »

I have tried multiple methods on youtube to resolve this like downloading the latest update for my graphics card but nothing works.

When i try to factory reset my computer, it starts the process of factory resetting but later on it says » There was a problem resetting this PC, no changes were made. «

I also do not have any system restore points to restore from. 🙁

I have attached the specs of my computer down below. Thanks 🙂

Hi garandchua, I am Rob, an independent and a 10 time and dual award MVP specializing in Windows troubleshooting and Bluescreen analysis. Please remember as independents we are not responsible for the development of Windows or the computer hardware and drivers. If you will work with me I will be here to help until the issue is resolved.

That is usually a driver issue.

1. Update the BIOS, chipset drivers, and the major drivers (see below for exact methods to use).

If the BSOD event still continues:

2. Check with those game makes’ supports and forums for known issues.

3. Run Driver Verifier to see if it can indicate a cause.

This utility makes it easy to see which versions are loaded :

Run DriverView — set VIEW to Hide Microsoft drivers — update those without Dump in their names (and update BIOS and chipset drivers).

DriverView — Free — utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description, version, product name, company that created the driver, and more.
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/driverview.html

For Drivers check System Maker as fallbacks and Device Maker’s which are the most current. Right Click the Start Button — Device Manager — Display Adapter — write down the make and complete model of your video adapter — double click — Driver’s tab — write down the version info. Now click UPdate Driver (this may not do anything as MS is far behind certifying drivers) — then Right Click — Uninstall — REBOOT this will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat that for Network — Network Card (NIC), Wifi, Sound, Mouse and Keyboard if 3rd party with their own software and drivers and any other major device drivers you have.

Now go to System Maker’s site (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (as rollback) and then Device Maker’s site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI as examples) and get their latest versions. (Look for BIOS, Chipset, and software updates at System Maker’s site while there.)

Download — SAVE — go to where you put them — Right Click — RUN AD ADMIN — REBOOT after each installation.

Always check in Device Manager — Drivers tab to be sure the version you are installing actually shows up. This is because some drivers rollback before the latest is installed (sound drivers particularly do this) so install a driver — reboot — check to be sure it is installed and repeat as needed.

Repeat at Device Makers — BTW at Device Makers DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER — check manually by model.

Manually look at manufacturer’s sites for drivers — and Device Maker’s sites.
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht.

After doing ALL the updates you can, and if the issue continues, then run
DriverVerifier.

Driver Verifier can help find some BSOD issues :

WFP invalid operation BSOD

I have been having trouble with my laptop for a while now. My model is an Acer Aspire VN7-791G-79QW. I have already contacted the Acer Support service and they told me to downgrade to windows 8.1 and deinstall my antivirus. However, I been having win 10 for about 2 years now, so I can’t just switch back to win 8.1.

I did create a restart point when it was still running on win8.1, but now I don’t even know I can use the restore point with win 10.

The problem seems to occur when the pc is running programs with a high graphic card demand.

Can anybody help me?

Here is the most recent minidump file:

Thank you very much in advance!

The minidump files indicates it is Qcamain10x64.sys which is the device driver on your Qualcomm WiFi card, which is causing the system crashes . ..

Below is the link to the support page for your laptop on the Acer website, there are a few Wireless LAN drivers listed there, one of those will be the Qualcom option, try each until you find the correct driver, the others will refuse to install . .
