3] Run Driver Verifier Manager Tool
The Driver Verifier Manager is a very useful tool to identify problematic drivers.
Since the issue is with the drivers, running the Driver Verifier Manager Tool to test problematic drivers could be helpful. The Driver Verifier Manager tests each specified driver at startup. If it detects a problem, it identifies it and then stops it from running.
4] Run SFC scan at boot time
A boot-time SFC scan could help replace the Wdf01000.sys or any associated file if missing or corrupt.
5] Run the Blue Screen troubleshooter
The Blue Screen Troubleshooter is a generic troubleshooter that detects and resolves common causes behind Blue Screen errors.
Click on the Start button and select Settings (the gear-like symbol) > Updates and Security > Troubleshoot. From the list of troubleshooters, run the Blue Screen troubleshooter. If you can’t find the troubleshooter there, you can use the Get Help app to troubleshoot Blue Screens.
