vtss.sys caused Windows 11 bluescreen DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

[Ayka]

Hi,

When the installation of Intel oneAPI Base Toolkit, v. 2022 (version 2022.1.2.154) proceeded to Intel DPC++ Compatibility Tool, my Windows 11 system froze and showed a blue screen with error code: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. Before Intel DPC++ Compatibility Tool, the offline installer has already installed Intel Advisor, Intel oneAPI DPC++ Library, and Intel VTune(TM) Profiler. I tried to remove the installed components by Windows Install Clean Up and re-installed, however, there was still a blue screen. I viewed the Minidump fileand analyzed the generated two dump files by Windbg Preview 1.2202.7001.0 (Administrator) using command `analyze -v`. The two dump files have the same results (part):

SYMBOL_NAME:  vtss+1dbc
MODULE_NAME: vtss
IMAGE_NAME:  vtss.sys
STACK_COMMAND:  .cxr; .ecxr ; kb
BUCKET_ID_FUNC_OFFSET:  1dbc
FAILURE_BUCKET_ID:  0x133_ISR_vtss!unknown_function

OSNAME:  Windows 10
FAILURE_ID_HASH:  {9bea1b25-7b12-a130-9e47-df6b77a6b755}
Followup:     MachineOwner

It seems that the previously installed Intel VTune(TM) Profiler had some errors. After that, the installer could not be started after showing the icon.

Hi Ayka,

Thanks for posting your concern on the forum. Please note, our recent investigation has shown that on Microsoft* Windows*, the installation of Intel oneAPI Toolkits versions 2022.1 and 2022.1.2 and standalone components will fail using Microsoft* Visual Studio* 2022 version 17.1.x.

There are 2 possible workarounds, prior to installing an Intel oneAPI toolkit or component:

·      Uninstall Visual Studio 2022 version 17.1.x and install the older version 17.0.6 from here Visual Studio 2022 Release History | Microsoft Docs.

·      Replace Microsoft.VisualStudio.Setup.Configuration.Native.dll with same dll from a Visual Studi0 2022 17.0.x release. For example, from version 17.0.6 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2022/release-history

We are striving to provide a new release in the weeks ahead to address this installation issue. However, please let us know if you have any other queries about this. Do let us know if the issue persists even after following one of the workarounds.

Regards,

Soumya
