Solution

0x0000009f is always caused by a faulty driver. All cases I saw were Intel NIC or graphics driver. You can workaround it by disabling power management in the driver properties: Device Management > select device and right-click - Properties > Power management tab > uncheck checkboxes

use Windbg to debug the crash (not this BlueScreenview): docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/…

Are you by chance using Node in any development efforts? I just got this same issue after the Creators update. I opened up my WinDbg to see what was at fault and found Node.exe referenced
