Hi. I noticed that you assisted similar situations before, could you perhaps assist me as well?
With normal use, my PC recently froze and refused to reboot pass the ‘Welcome’ screen.
When. Safe reboot is attempted, it gets stuck at aswbidshx.sys (preceded by aswblogx.sys and aswbunivx.sys), after which it goes into a black screen and is then totally unresponsive.
The last significant action that I can recall was a repair on my Avast configuration.

Hi,

I have the same problem with windows 7. It has a blue screen when starting. Booting into safe mode it stuck in the exact same file.

Did you found a solution?
