Fix: Windows 10 Crashes after the Kindle Connection
Jun. 24, 2022 / Updated by Helia to Windows 10
Windows 10 crash occurs when the Amazon Kindle is connected, which is one of the high-profile Windows issues after the Windows 10 Anniversary update. Microsoft released its Windows 10 Anniversary update this summer, and after that more and more users complained that both of the two devices, the Windows 10 PC and the Amazon Kindle, are not into each other --- when they connected the e-reader, the PC would crash with BSOD and error message.
The crashes are very influential in the use of Amazon Kindle Paperwhite and Voyager devices. You cannot transfer e-books or charge the e-readers via the USB ports on the Windows 10 PC. It is reported that the Windows 10 crashes happened on nearly all the computers that have updated to Windows 10 Anniversary.
How to Fix Windows 10 Crashes after the Amazon Kindle Is Plugged in
Microsoft has been repairing the bug after that. And let’s see what we can do to solve the Windows 10 Anniversary crashes when plugging the Kindle.
Method 1: Check Related Hardware on Both Devices
When you suffer the Windows 10 crashes, it is recommended to test the hardware on both of the devices firstly. Maybe you happen to encounter the same issue due to other reasons instead of the Windows 10 Anniversary update.
1. Check the USB ports and the cable. Make sure the ports and the cable are available for both charge and files transformation.
2. Test your Kindle on other computers to see if the Windows 10 crash or the blue screen of death still persists. (Note: It is reported that the crashes occur on almost all brands of Windows 10 Anniversary PCs, like Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc., but we still suggest this so that you can make sure which device cause the problem.)
3. Update your Kindle OS or firmware to make it compatible with the Windows 10.

2. Plug in Kindle when the PC is in sleep mode and then arouse it.
Most of the users avoid the blue screen or the Windows 10 crash successfully by using this method.
Method 3: Remove the Programs Installed Recently
Some software or programs can cause conflicts and result in system issues like random restarts, INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error blue screen, ghost touch screen, etc. Some users found that removing programs like anti-virus software, music players or other apps will help to fix the crash. So it is recommended to uninstall the programs you recently installed to see if the problem has been resolved.

Method 4: Reinstall the USB Drivers to Fix the Windows 10 Kindle Crash
The crash issue hits the USB 3.0 ports more than the USB 2.0. Users complained that when they plugged in the Amazon Kindle, Windows would detect the USB drivers and at the same time the blue screen appeared.

2. Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers entry and navigate to the USB device.
3. Right click on the device and select Uninstall.
4. After the uninstallation, right click on the entry and select Scan for hardware changes.
