Resolved Question

force windows to bsod

Oct 8, 2014 10:14PM PDT

im trying to make windows crash on r.shift + esc i've tried CrashOnCtrlScroll with dump1keys and dump2keys as well as the dump_keys on their own but it doesn't work on my usb keyboard

also is there a way to make windows not boot without a usb drive [configured as a key] in it? no encryption just a usb thumb drive instead of a password per se.

I think you are asking how to create your own solution. That would have you hitting the web and programming forums. This forum is more about Windows 7 and not so much programming and scripting.

I mean you would have researched the line of script you need to BSOD with:
https://www.google.com/search?q=bsod+with+command+line

So all your need is to check if the USB thing is in the registry. So that's the REG command to output what key in the registry you want, then more script to call the BSOD if it matches.

Let me be clear here. This is yours to create. The tools are out there.

Then back to MSDN?
Oct 9, 2014 4:59AM PDT

Here I could create a way using AutoHotKey and the script/command I noted above. Since this seems to be almost the same then why not create your own?

ill have to further investigate on my own and see if there are other ways to achieve something similar that works to the same result. ill google for boss key programs.
