Microsoft's December 2020 Windows 10 updates are conflicting with the Corsair Utility Engine software and causing the operating system to go into a BSOD crash loop.
After the December 2020 Patch Tuesday updates were released, Windows 10 users began reporting that the operating system would go into a crash loop where Windows would restart and automatically crash and restart again.
Microsoft has not acknowledged this conflict in any of their support bulletins for the recent Windows 10 updates, but we can expect them to put a safeguard hold on Windows 10 updates soon.
Sys crashes is to boot Windows 10 into the Recovery Environment and rename the driver.
If you see the Windows folder then you are in the right drive.
