Been chaos the last few days. Somehow PC auto updated and ran a SRTTRAIL.TXT error, and got stuck in an infinite loop. Worked around there with disabling auto repair and then got a mbamelam error where early anti malware file was missing and BSOD. Had to turn early anti malware function off and now I managed to get back into desktop. I don't even have malwarebytes installed! Then PC started randomly rebooting and I have no clue why. Updated BIOS and chipset at this point and it just feels like im… See More
leaving crumbs of issues to have to fix up after.
Tried DISM.exe command prompts and ones like sfc /scannow and no issues. I have no friggin idea whats going on and it seems like a W11 reset seems like the best idea.
Anyone else out of the blue issues with windows/updates?
update - probably gonna spend some time resetting windows. the random crashes seemed to have vanished with bios update and keeping PC on default ( no undervolt or gaming tweaks unfortunately). any hint of RAM or CPU adjustments seem to be triggering the reboots. Just to tackle the more windows side of things, I think its just less hassle to reset windows.
I also remembered I had tried a PC optimizer last month, didn't have an issue until now but it does change a few things to speed up the PC. I will… See More
probably not use that again.

If you can get to a command prompt, which your use of DSIM and SFC would suggest you can.
You could try deleting the service which might be loading the driver.
May require admin privileges though, unsure how you get there from CMD alone.
sc delete MbamElam
Or delete or rename the file, found at C WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\MbamElam.sys
I don't know your knowledge of the command prompt, so will try to give instructions for those.
-- Change to the correct folder

CD \windows\system32\drivers
-- To delete the file
del MbamElam.sys
-- To rename it
ren MbamElam.sys Mbam.Elam.sys.backup

No issues with W11 updates lately.
I even updated a few PCs at work to 26H2 build 9550. Still, no issues. One experimental / test-PC at home too is now running 26H2.9550, no issues.
sorry, no idea how to solve "SRTTRAIL.TXT error", yet.
Have You tried the "In-Place-Upgrade" re-install? It resolves vast majority of weird issues of all kinds... it is ALMOST as efficient as a clean install.
GL!
