I am on my second attempt to get my audio workstation computer upgraded to Windows 10 1903. My gaming laptop and gaming desktop both seem to be fine on 1903 (both have Nvidia graphics), but this computer is giving me a lot of trouble.
On my first try, I kept getting stuck in reboot loops with the system clearly crashing due to the graphics driver. To be fair, I tried several graphics cards on this machine before settling on a Radeon RX 570. Knowing I've swapped several cards in and out of this machine, for this second attempt, I booted into safe mode and removed all previous graphics drivers using DDU by WagnardSoft before running the upgrade to 1903. I had to manually start the upgrade using the Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant since the previous roll back to 1809 removed the button from Windows Update (in case that makes any difference).
This time around, it seems to be a bit more stable as Windows will stop trying to load the driver if it blue screens rather than getting stuck in a reboot loop. When it first came up on 1903, it was still using the Microsoft Basic Display Driver, so I ran the installer for Radeon graphics driver package version 19.5.2 (AMD shows in their release notes that 19.5.1 was the first package to support 1903). That gave a blue screen during install, but then I tried again after a restart and it installed. Everything seemed stable until the next restart where it crashed during boot. Then I tried the latest (optional) version which is 19.8.2 and again it seemed stable until crashing during startup after a reboot. I am back to Device Manager showing "This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)" for the graphics card driver. An interesting note, I seem to be able to get the graphics driver to run again if I disable and then reenable the display adapter in Device Manager, but it will crash again the next time I reboot (in other words, the trouble seems to be during startup). Everything was fine with this card in 1809, so I have to believe there is a conflict between 1903 and the current drivers.
Since my audio workstation is very complicated (many peripherals and high specs), I suppose it's possible there is some conflict. Here are my specs and below is a OneDrive link to the minidumps.

I'm hoping someone from Microsoft can help. I would really like 1903 on my audio workstation as the increase to the FLS slot limit will be very useful for DAW software like Cubase and Ableton Live.
