BSOD etd.sys after install and reboot pc

Long story short.



After installing fresh windows, and first boot you install or not install anything on your pc, you restart pc and get blue screen of death with strange etd.sys message. 

I waste whole day for "solving" the problem. It's trick not solving.

Reason for the problem is that your touch pad is dead or connected in wrong way.

Hard way to fix that: 

  • unplug touchpad
  • fix touchpad
  • connect touchpad correct way
Easy way if your touch pad is dead for sure:

  1. Once you see repair screens , find commanad promt tab and open in
  2. Write commands to rename file: 
  3. Command 1: cd c:\windows\system32\drivers
  4. Command 2: ren etd.sys etd.sys.old
  5. now close promt window and restart pc
  6. once you see login window ( latests versions of windows asks  to create pin and forces you to enter the pin ) open from right bottom icons - "on screen keyboard" and press with mouse and enter your pin by pressing buttons with your mouse ( because that your keyboard will not work at  the moment ).
  7. Now navigate to c:\windows\system32\drivers\ and rename file back with mouse ( second mouse to open properties-> rename -> select bad naming of file and press cut )
  8. once it done, now you can reenable keyboard back . to do that -> go to "my pc" and go to properties ( second mouse button inside folder ) and select device manager.
  9. Disable / enable your keyboard under "keyboards" , try all.
  10. Now disable your touch pad under "mice and other pointing devices" ( mine was ELAN )
Solved.
