I have the same problem!
Note that I use AMD Radeon software, tested with the latest drivers.
On my notebook, with a Nvidia, it work just fine.

It's something we need to look at. We got some info from MS and our Windows devs will need to look what's happening as regular Kodi doesn't have this problem.

Hmm yeah I've just noticed that AMD seems to be the common factor, I'm also sporting an AMD GPU, was using most current WHQL driver.
I thought it was win store version of Kodi but just now got the same type of BSOD using MPC-BE media player, very unusual only happened once and MPC-BE is a Win32 app.
The quality of AMD's drivers has really declined, I've updated to the latest beta from AMD in the hopes that might help.

Wondering if software rendering might fix this?

I can confirm AMD driver is the fault, I tested 3 different drivers with my RX 480.
16.9.2 - latest beta, this causes bsod
16.9.1 - most recent WHQL, this causes bsod (this driver only came out sept 13th)
16.7.3 - prior WHQL, Kodi win store runs fine, no bsod or crashes of any kind so far.
So AMD have screwed something up in the driver, maybe you guys could relay it to MS as they have a better chance of getting AMD to take notice.

I've been running the anniversary update the day it came out, it's not that, I'm sure it's the AMD driver.
It's possible it's specific to certain AMD GPU's depending upon the hardware your using v15 AMD drivers, which are for older generation hardware, v16 drivers are for current hardware like the RX series and are all dated 2016.
This is also in relation to the win store build of kodi, not the standalone desktop version.

Please help us and Microsoft getting this fixed by doing the following:
Getting a Watson bucket from the reliability monitor
1. Click "Start" and type in "View Reliability History"
2. In the graph at the top, select the day that the blue screen happened
3. Look down in the list and select the right event (not sure exactly what it will say, but I suspect it will be a critical event. You should be able to tell by the Date whether it’s the right one)
4. Right click on that event, and choose View Technical Details
5. Please give us the Bucket ID text at the end of the list that is between the ( )
Thank you
