great find! I tested this, and it appears to at least correct the issue with autostart.
Thanks

try disabling all the powersave/c-state mode in bios. I had this issue with ryzen based cpu, and it resolved my random reboot issues.

@stormi
what's the status of the xfs driver? Are you expecting that to be removed/deprecated as well?

Circular logging is probably your best bet.
You could also attempt to do a "fake" full backup using diskshadow..just be sure to cleanup the shadow copy afterwords.

you will probably be ok, but you might run into some issues with c-state

iirc vmware had hit problems with windows 10 1809 and up...there was some finger pointing, but vmware released a patch in update 3. Since the reported problem popped up after 1809, then Id suspect it more of a microsoft issue...
