Windows 10 update crashed chkdsk and results in blue screens of death when checking drives

Reportedly, in some cases, after installing KB4592438, the built-in chkdsk function, which is used to check drives for file system errors, does not work. The source says that some users who tried to use the chkdsk tool after installing the December Windows 10 Update have encountered Blue Screens of Death (BSOD). The error occurs while checking the drive. After restarting the computer, the system is restored to operability, but repeated use of chkdsk leads to a similar result.

It is currently unknown how widespread the error is. The source only mentions that it is found in some users of the most current versions of the Windows 10 operating system who have already downloaded a recent update to their computers.
