Still not sure what to do with it, or why. I just got a message to reboot to check hard drive. The check completed 100%, but Win 10 Pro hung on start. Rebooted ok Ran "Whocrashed" and got the following:
------------------------
On Tue 09/02/2021 9:56:01 your computer crashed or a problem was reported
crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP
This was probably caused by the following module: epmvolfl.sys (EPMVolFl+0x142B)
Bugcheck code: 0x7F (0x8, 0xFFFFE38022D29F50, 0xFFFFE38027203FA0, 0xFFFFF803EDEEC3E9)
Error: UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP
file path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\epmvolfl.sys
product: Windows (R) Codename Longhorn DDK driver
company: Windows (R) Codename Longhorn DDK provider
description: Disk Performance Driver
Bug check description: This bug check indicates that the Intel CPU generated a trap and the kernel failed to catch this trap.Double Fault, indicates that an exception occurs during a call to the handler for a prior exception. Most often this is caused by a software problem (kernel stack overflow) but this can also be caused by a hardware problem.
A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: epmvolfl.sys (Disk Performance Driver, Windows (R) Codename Longhorn DDK provider).
Google query: epmvolfl.sys Windows (R) Codename Longhorn DDK provider UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP

Conclusion
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One crash dump has been found and analyzed. A third party driver has been identified to be causing system crashes on your computer. It is strongly suggested that you check for updates for these drivers on their company websites. Click on the links below to search with Google for updates for these drivers:

epmvolfl.sys (Disk Performance Driver, Windows (R) Codename Longhorn DDK provider)

If no updates for these drivers are available, try searching with Google on the names of these drivers in combination with the errors that have been reported for these drivers. Include the brand and model name of your computer as well in the query. This often yields interesting results from discussions on the web by users who have been experiencing similar problems.


Read the topic general suggestions for troubleshooting system crashes for more information.

Note that it's not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it's suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.
-----------------------------
The system is a complete reinstall after Acronis backup put a recovery boot sector on the backup drive, and then Windows 10 decided to boot from it instead of my drive C. Drive C was no longer recognised by my Bios, until I shut down, disconnected all my other drives and rebooted. The final reboot was ok and all my data is there.
